1–5: Reading – Academic Passage
Topic: Cultural Diffusion and Syncretism
Cultural diffusion is the process by which cultural traits spread from one society to another, often leading to syncretism—the blending of elements from different cultures into something new. One prominent example is the spread of Buddhism from India to East Asia. As Buddhism moved into China, it incorporated Confucian and Taoist ideas, adapting itself to local beliefs and customs.
Similarly, in Latin America, indigenous rituals merged with Catholic practices brought by European colonizers, resulting in hybrid traditions like the Day of the Dead, which reflects both pre-Columbian and Christian elements.

Topic: The Tragedy of the Commons
Professor: “The Tragedy of the Commons is a concept used to describe a situation where individuals, acting in their own self-interest, deplete a shared resource, even though it’s in no one’s long-term interest for this to happen. A common example is overfishing in international waters. Since no single country controls these waters, fishermen take as much as they can.
