...Importance of Including Multicultural Education in The US Curriculum Introduction The world is going through a cultural shift. According to the Federal Interagency Forum on Child and Family Statistics (1998), one of every three students enrolled in elementary and secondary schools today is of racial/ethnic minority background. Demographers predict that by 2020, student of color will make up about 46% of the student population in America. (Banks and Banks, 1997). This shows the growing rate of cultural diversity in the United States. The growing cultural shift will not only impact the nation, but will also impact the education system of the US. To accommodate this change America needs to incorporate multicultural education into its schools’ curriculums. In opposition to the diversely growing student population, the teacher population in the United States is highly homogeneous. A typical American teacher would be a white woman, according to Hadaway the current teaching force is 90% Anglo, and the face of the future teaching population does not currently appear to be changing (Hadaway, 1993). So to deal with the increasing cultural student body we need to prepare the teachers and train them properly. While training the teachers we need to prioritize in helping them gain the skills, knowledge, and outlook on how to deal with a culturally diverse student body. We need to prepare them on how to effectively teach students from different backgrounds, regardless of race. While most...

...their fare share of responsibility! EU states must simply stop acting as if the refugee crisis on the Mediterranean is a sole responsibility of Europe´s littoral countries. If the refugee crisis was just a question of money it would probably have been easier to solve, but it is not. It´s rather a question of overcoming anti-refugee policies and right-wing populism. Taking in large influxes of refugees also requires accepting the fact that these people might bring changes to a nation´s identity as well as culture. That is of course often very positive as refugees have normally had very positive influences on their host countries by for instance improving everthing from their foods to scientific discoveries. But on the other hand this multiculture...

You can have an idea in your mind of what these are but you cant actually touch any of these. Can you touch social support? You can probably touch a part of your body that may feel some sense of pain but the actual concept itself cannot be touched. c. Tend to be universal which means they apply equally to everything related. d. Concepts tend to be the basic elements of propositions (or statements that result from reason). If you remember geometry they had the proposition they had the “if A equaled B and B equaled C.Does A equal C.” That is the idea of what propositions are and they take concepts and build on them to create these statements to help define whatever we are discussing such as theory, research study. e. Help to integrate unrelated phenomena into a hypothesis which creates research.

A great culture can change a person’s life. Therefore it is very important for us. This article shows that in the different way to explain culture shock. In my case, however, I experienced culture shock when I came to Australia for the first time. By globalization, people who live with considerable cultures, such as faith, behaviour and law, they become to a style of culture shock. (Wilson .S.L., 2011).It is indicated that nowadays many countries consist of all kinds of culture. Because develop culture, it comes confusing, many times we do not know what is right or wrong. However, multiculture also can help us, learning good behaviour from other country’s culture. First, let me talk about transport. There is very good impression on bus drivers. Every morning, without my own car, I had to go to school by bus, sometimes when I awoke up, I felt very terrible. While I got on a bus, I saw bus driver showing me a big smile and saying hello.

...What does multiculturalism mean; it is acceptance or promotion of multiple ethnic cultures, applied to the demographic make-up of a specific place. (en.wikipedia.org). How I would incorporate activities that would support a multicultural class room, well for one I would take a map of the world and pin it up to one wall of my class room. Take pictures of everyone in the class and put the pictures and their names on the side of the map and run a string to the place where they are from. This way everyone can see exactly where they are from and how far they traveled to get here. After looking on where everyone came from I would sit aside one day where students can bring food from their culture and clothes, music or even talk about their traditions and there history about where they came from. This way they can taste the foods that they eat and listen to the different sounds of music and hear about how the students talk about their traditions, by doing this the students can understand a little about their culture and why they are different. Another group activity, I would do is watch movies in different languages, but have the words subtitled in English, this way it would require them to watch closely and then give them a quiz after the movie was over. Then have the students say hello in different languages just to see how many different languages they can say hello in. Another activity would be to have them write something about themselves and the...

Douglass' Conflict - "Double Consciousness" 2. Factual Inconsistencies in the Crafting Process of African American Identity 2.1. Douglass' Silences on the World beyond the US 2.2. Contradictions in Douglass' Autobiographies 3. The Challenge of Establishing Douglass' Intended African American Identity 3.1. The Contented Slave 3.2. Slave Laws and Types of Mankind 3.3. Heteronomous Submission vs. Autonomous Emancipation 4. An Intelligible Paragon of African American Identity Written Outline Frederick Douglass, though encountering various obstacles, "went from being not even considered fully human according to US law to representing the US government" (Nwankwo 146) in Haiti as consul. His autobiographical writing is considered to be a paramount example of the southern slave's "quest for being" (Baker 34), however, in regard to W.E.B. Du Bois' conception of "double consciousness", Douglass, in his autobiographies, is virtually silent on the Black world beyond the United States to be able to emancipate African Americans, which he characterized as "a nation, in the midst of a nation which disowns them" (Dixon 251), on US soil. To gain a better understanding of Douglass arguments about Black identity in the United States, these silences on the...

...against a policy of “assimilation,” saying it would mean destroying a culture. Integration and identity of the third generation of Turkish immigrants are complex problems. These two issues are causing problems. If the young Turkish generation is not able to build their own identity, they will not be able to integrate themselves either in the mainstream society. Learning the language is the key factor of integration. However, a direct integration of Turks in Germany might be not enough; even impossible at the time because of the existing prejudices and xenophobia from the Germans. Germans should also learn how to live in a multicultural society. Similar debates are related to the term “multicultural society”. While the German neologism “multiculture” has been used in a normative sense by supporters of unrestricted immigration, it has been denounced in other political circles as reflecting a naive approach to society and culture. In recent years, Politicians and intellectuals have argued that approaches of multiculturalism have lead in a dead end. BIBLIOGRAPHY • Roemer, J., W. Lee and K. Van der Staeten, (2007).
