PERSPECTIVE: Analyze the issue from more than one cultural perspective, noting the broader influence (local, national and/or global) of each perspective. To fully satisfy this criterion, the issue must be analyzed from more than one cultural perspective, clearly identifying the broader influence of each. (Ideally, you should include interviews of people from the identified groups rather than quoting from published sources. Including statistics from printed sources is acceptable if the citation is given.)

Cultural Perspective: A perspective shaped by membership in a distinct cultural group (examples: religious groups, groups from differing national or linguistic origins).

Why does this matter? "Cultures vary in the underlying norms and values that regulate social behavior."
