Food is a staple in each person's life. It is a way we learn about cultural values and society. It gives us many different perspectives while simultaneously bringing us all together through shared experiences. Identifying and understanding diverse perspectives adds value to creative works. In this discussion, you'll select a creative work related to food and share what diverse perspectives are present in the work you chose. Discussing diverse perspectives of the humanities often means investigating opinions and ideas different from your own. Remember to remain thoughtful and respectful toward your peers and instructor in your initial post as well as in your discussion responses. Create one initial post and respond to at least two of your classmates. For your initial post, address the following: Select a creative work that addresses the topic of food. Here are a few options to consider: Visual Arts: The Hundred-Foot Journey (Link is to the film's trailer) A transcript is available: The Hundred-Foot Journey Literary Arts: With the Fire on High (Link is to a review of the book) Performing Arts: "Music for a Sushi Restaurant" (Link is to a music video of the song) You are welcome to select your own creative work that addresses food. The creative work you choose might be a book, a painting, a film, a poem, a play, a song, etc. It can come from any of the three subject areas we are focusing on: the visual arts, the literary arts, or the performing arts.
