You may base this choice on ethnic, cultural, national or religious background, sexual orientation, gender, etc. 2. Explain what the work gets right about communication between the characters and anything that it gets wrong. 3. Is it an accurate depiction or does it weigh on stereotypes?  4. Use examples of your knowledge of the culture and communication competence to support your position. 5.
