Artifacts that represent me culturally.
Artifact 1: Make-up
I rarely leave the house without having makeup on my face, not that I consider my self high- maintenance; rather I like to look my best when I leave my house. On a daily basis I wear makeup that is conservative and when I get ready for special events I tend to wear more makeup. I think this is a cultural thing to do in America because we think that more makeup highlights our facial features.
Artifact 2: Jewelry
I hold dear to several pieces of jewelry because they connect me to my family. My turquoise ring is a family heirloom that my grandmother passed on to me and I will eventually give to one of my daughters. The neat thing about this ring is that my great uncle made it for my grandmother and I always loved hearing the story of how the ring was made. I also have a wedding ring that shows my commitment and love to my husband.
Artifact 3: Keys
My keys have a significant purpose in my life each day. Everyday I use them for different purposes. For example I use keys for the mailbox, doors to my house and my car. My keys give me the access to a home. Here I feel safe knowing that my husband and I are the only ones who can enter our house and gives me a sense of security. My car keys allow me to use my car to travel to my various obligations and leisure activities. As an American it is a part of our culture to own a home, drive a car and receive mail on a daily basis.
