Final Individual Cultural Diversity Course Reflection

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.
