Igbo+Background

=Igbo Cultural Background=

For this assignment, you will learn more about the Igbo culture. You may choose to learn more about religious customs, family roles, sports, celebrations, or any other component of the society. I am interested in both historical and contemporary information. You can get started by learning the basics about the [|Igbo people]. Here is one website that I found provided some great first hand information about [|Igbo Culture].


 * Assignment:** By now, we are deep enough into Things Fall Apart to recognize that the culture and traditions of the Igbo people are very different from our own. In your post I'd like you to discuss one aspect of the Igbo culture that you believe is admirable, impressive or totally opposite of American culture. Could this aspect ever work in America? Why or why not? And...what does your answer to this previous question say about your view of America...hmmm....that's a good one.
