There is a big debate of who would be benefiting from such diversity program (The Debate Over Multicultural Education In America, 1998,2012), What is your view in this matter?
My opinion is that anyone can benefit from such program regarding race and even age.
Personally I believe all students would benefit from a well rounded education of different cultures. The more a young person understands abouit a culture, the less strange it seems. When a child encounters something new, usually they tend to be frightened by it or they will make fun of it. A diversity program would help students understand different cultures. This would help to less the fear of the unknown or the need for ridicule.
ReplyDeleteReally, all of society could benefit from these programs in some way, shape, or form.

It is absolutely essential that we implement multicultural education in america. It familiarizes us with different cultures, it promotes equality between the cultures (two cultures can be different without one being better), and it breaks the ice in work relationships if you have some knowledge of others cultures and can talk about their history.
