Things to consider:

- How is Iranian culture different from that in the United States? How would you explain to someone the cultural norms of this country?
- What are women's rights like? How do they differ before and after the Iranian revolution?
- Are there any other cultural things to note (music, the arts, movies)?
- View all items through the lens of the revolution - did anything change?
