V. Body and Discussion
“All students have an incredible capacity for developing the ability to use multiple
learning styles in much the same way that multiple language competency can be
accomplished” (Hillard, 1992)
Basic Concept of Culture and Multiculturalism
Culture

 A totality of learned behaviors in the context of a social system (Slonim, 1991)

 Includes knowledge, belief, art, morals, law, custom, and any other capacities and
habits acquired by individuals as members of society
 The characteristics of that individual’s society or some subgroup within that society
 We live it and may cause some distress when we are out of our culture.
 Attributes include familial, linguistic, religious, spiritual, aesthetic,
socioeconomic, educational, dietary, gender etc.

Culture-explicit and implicit

 Explicit aspects of culture-language, dress, food habits, religion, aesthetic conventions-

taught deliberately and learned (tip of iceberg)
 Implicit aspects of culture-equally important; habits often invisible to us-timeliness,
what is proper or improper.

RACE

 A socially determined category that is related to physical characteristics in a

complex way (Banks & Banks).
 Not a stable category; has changed over time
 Used often in US as if there is total agreement about definition ( school forms,
Birth/death certificates etc)
 Has been defined socially, biologically and geographically

RACE-PHYSICAL

 Physical and inborn characteristics

 Skin color, body build or facial features
 Unlike culture-race cannot be changed or learned or acquired after birth
 Other terms used-Negroid, Caucasoid and Mongoloid
 need to arrange the schedules of these students in a way that prevents them from
having to travel long distances from one class to another. Providing elevator
access can also help.
RACE-GEOGRAPHICALLY

 Determined by the region of the world and country

 African, American Indian, Asian, Australian, European, Indian, Melanesian, and
Polynesian
RACE-UNITED STATES

 Should not be reviewed solely but important to note

 Individuals are asked to state race on forms
 Society places emphasis on race and some individuals may claim that their race
affects the quality of their life experiences
 ( Some African American and Latino American men may feel some harassment
due to their race).

Ethnicity

 An individual’s sense of identification and provides a sense of belonging to a

reference group [derived from five major racial categories-African American,
Native American, Asian American, Latino American, European American]
(Slonim, 1991)
 African-Caribbean , Jewish American, Mexican American, Puerto Rican, Italian
American, Muslim, Cherokee, Navajo

More on Ethnicity
 Persons can be at different stages of the ethic awareness
 Ethnic group is a cultural group with a sense of people hood, shared history,
common ancestry, and common set of political and economic interests.
