I’ve been enlightened by knowing more about Culture
Diversity. I didn’t know how important it is to learn about the outside world.
Due to this course, I can interact with other cultures better and more effectively.
To begin with, I have learned a lot since this course began.
There was one class when we had to see a video of teaching children about
discrimination. They separate the blue eyed and the brown eyed from each other
and give power and superiority to a side for a day, then the other side for the
other day. Just so they can see how it feels to be discriminated. That is an
effective way to teach kids about discrimination and avoiding it. There was another
class where we learned about the –isms in advertisements. People feel offended
about it, so I can see how it effect people and avoid showing bad
advertisements. The class that I most enjoyed and learned from was the group
that went to mountain climbing. It showed us how effective a group can be when
they have people from all around the world. For example, you’re getting
different ideas and talents from every side of the earth. It inspired me to
work with different cultures and people. However, the most interesting class I’ve
been in was the first video reflection.
Studying Culture Diversity till now has showed be how
important this course is, because it helps you to know and to interact with other
cultures more commendably. And this course should be taught to children and
teens, to reduce racism and discrimination between children in schools. And it
is more effective to be learned when you’re a child. Our government should put
this course in our curriculum and should be learned for more than one semester.
It is a good way to help educate kids about Culture Diversity.
Harmony Day is a good way to learn about cultures and it is
a heartwarming event. Basically, it is an event that lets all the cultures in a
country to show more about their culture and heritage. For example, food,
clothes and special things that characterize one’s culture. So, UAE should have
a harmony day because we are already a multi-cultured country. It will help
enhance the respect between cultures and reduce racism in our country.
To conclude, Culture Diversity is an essential course for
every age and level. So the ministry of education must put it in education curriculum
for all students.
