A cultural plunge is individual exposure to persons or groups different in culture (ethnicity, language, sexual orientation, physical or mental ability, or socioeconomic status) than your own, with which you might hold prejudice or stereotypes.

In this Cultural Plunge assignment, interact with people whose characteristics differ from your own. This is an opportunity to replace false information with a real life experience. For this to truly be a cultural plunge, you should be out of your comfort zone.
