In this generation, millennials; generally white millennials, often refer to individuals from a divergent ethnic group or culture as “others”, in a belief that if the individual doesn’t appear to have similar religious beliefs, or obvious similarities to a typical “American” citizen, they are considered the “other” people, often alienated, due to different beliefs or physical appearances. In “Beyond Mirrored Worlds: Teaching World Literature to Challenge Students’ Perception of “Other” by Kiran Subhani Qureshi, Qureshi develops a variety of activities and strategies for her students to understand to a greater extent, and understand the importance of studying world literature. Qureshi awakens the hearts and minds of the individuals she teaches

The article ‘’What Every American Should Know’’ by Eric Liu acknowledges the struggles, the rapidly changing, and all of the multicultural issues that continually expands through every day of the culture wars. So within this article Liu is confronting a very substantial topic, which he asserts the problem of cultural diversity or the culture wars inside of the United States. In the article Liu provides the reader with many different examples all the way from cultural literacy, multiculturalism, and many examples from history over the years. Liu also expresses these examples in a way that the reader can absorb the details in a different style were the reader has to look at each example in a different aspect to fully understand what he is trying to stay. Liu evaluates E.D Hirsch and talks about the list. The list that every American should know, containing ten words that every citizen in America should know. Liu discourages people use Hirsch’s list because of the time differences between the past and the future, and how the culture war has progressed through time. Liu has evolved Hirsch’s idea and created something more modern that people can create their own list to show the people of America different opinions to have and no one is wrong or right that is what makes this list so influential. (Liu)

I would like to discuss multiculturalism in education; I am particularly focused on the higher education aspect, and the effect of diversity on education. In reference to the four assigned articles that discussed reasons for and against a diverse learning environment in higher education and the effect on education and american culture.

and 67 from the UK. They were all students at a select few elite universities, and therefore were of similar ages, interests, and leaned towards a more liberal ideology. Her research can be classified as cross-cultural research, since she is examining not only the differences in viewpoints from student to student, but also the differences between two countries. Similar to DuBois she also conducted survey research, since she gathered her information first through questionnaires to get general information about the subjects, and then her and her team conducted in-depth interviews. She chose to study such a small and specific group of people due to the fact that they would most likely have a more liberal ideology, and would be an example of the best case scenario for future immigration policies and race interactions. She also chose to over represent minorities, in comparison to actual percentages on these campuses, because she wanted to make sure that she heard from enough to get a full picture of their experiences on campus (34). She addresses the fact that there could be a volunteer bias in her research, due to the language in her initial email to prospective students: “…the word diversity in the recruitment message may have attracted students more sympathetic to diversity and deterred those more critical or ambivalent, making the student perspectives reported in this book more liberal than the average on campus” (33). However, this was fine for her since she wanted a more liberal perspective. She also made the effort to make the research in the U.S. and UK as equal as possible by making the percentage of factors from students such as fields of study, types of high school attended, and parents’ level of education similar to each other and therefore creating a good mix of students to compare (35). The main method she used was in depth interviews that asked a series of

There are over six thousand languages spoken in the world today, many of which are spoken by less than a few hundred people (Omniglot.com). There are cultural differences in every aspect of life, they can vary from clothing, food, etc. Many people have the tendency to reject these difference and try to convert certain cultures into their own. According to John Steinbeck’s “E Pluribus Unum”, that was exactly what the new “waves” tried to do in America many years ago. This perception of rejection of cultural differences can also be observed in The Crucible by Arthur Miller, “From The American Holocaust” by David Stannard, and “From A Narrative of The Captivity” by Mary Rowlandson.

It is also argued that universities and businesses are becoming more diverse and are receiving more applications from minority groups. These businesses and universities are becoming more global every year and learning about the differences in cultures around the world.

Watson took a leap with completely guaranteeing his claim, but there is a truth to it. Watson proved a piece of this theory through his experiment with Little Albert. He directly caused Little Albert to change his original thoughts towards animals. When Watson created a banging noise, Little Albert feared the object put in front of him. The older man, who was concluded to be Little Albert, grew up to be afraid of animals and hated the sound of barking.

Lawrence W. Levine approaches the issue of ethnic relations in a slightly different light in his book, “The Opening of the American Mind”. He focuses on the two central components of the entire matter: One-way Assimilation (the melting pot ideology) and Cultural Pluralism, given that the two other models (Ethnic

Does our common reader assigned to the class this semester adhere to the accustomed material when it comes to examining cultural diversity in the class? My conclusion is that our common reader The Trouble with Diversity by Walter Benn Michaels touches upon the social, socio-economic, health, and educational aspect of diversity. Observing how an individual’s status and race makes an impact on how they do in society as well as how they’re treated.

The United States has Changed from a Melting Pot to a Vast Culture with Varying Racial Backgrounds

Psychologists have been focused on observing and understanding human behavior for centuries, dating back to the Greek philosophers when psychology and philosophy were considered one.Today, Psychology is the study of human behavior, beginning before birth and lasting until death. It is clear that the observance human behavior is a vast and profound source of data for psychologists. Early philosophers relied on methods of observation and logic. A physiologist named Wilhelm Wundt in the 1800’s began using scientific research methods in his study of mental processes. However, the situation was totally different in the beginning of 20th century when psychology still struggled to be regarded as a separate discipline with practical value(Mastering,2011). Psychologists had only begun to be accepted as a science. It was John B. Watson who established the school of Behaviorism and inspired many other psychologists to study patterns of human behavior and their mechanisms. Watson 's contribution to psychology is important not to underestimate; he studied animal and human behavior to come up with a methodology that would give Psychology a respected status among other scientific disciplines. This essay will focus on the biography and works of John B. Watson with a purpose to show why his works are important for Psychology today(Hergenhahn & Henley, 2013).

Diversity has broad ranges of spectrums. Students from all across the continent; students from political refugees, indigenous Americans, and immigrants bring their culture and linguistic skills to American classrooms.
