Culture shapes motivation
Culture shapes our view of history
Culture shapes whom we credit with our success
Cultural shapes our emotional responses
Culture shapes motivation
Culture shapes our view of history
Culture shapes whom we credit with our success
Cultural shapes our emotional responses
Our cultures shape evaluation of sources
point of view has a cultural component
trust in media and scepticism varies
teaching suggestions:
ask students to shift lens
initiate conversation among diverse students
ask students how they could modulate their communication to diverse audience
work with teachers to have students develop complex questions about a culture they are researching
expect diversity in answers
change the rhetoric from debate to deliberative dialogue – understanding dif points of view
teach ethnographic observation – looking and understanding rather than judging
don’t predict behaviour by group
seek to understand, talk about race
