What are multicultural and global literacies?

In order to discover knowledge's assumptions, view it from a variety of ethnic

and cultural perspectives, and use information to lead action that would result
in a humane and just society, one must possess the skills and abilities to be
multi-culturally literate. By tackling challenging matters like racism and other
forms of oppression against other ethnic groups, multicultural literacy thereby
draws attention to diversity, equity, and social justice to promote cultural
understanding. Multicultural literacy instruction should aid students in
acquiring the knowledge, skills, and values necessary to become engaged
citizens who will fight for social justice in their communities. Multicultural
literacy needs to be significantly changed in order to adequately equip kids to
function in the 21st century given the rising racial, linguistic, and ethnic
variety in our nation. Multi-cultural literacy is the ability to understand and
appreciate the parallels and differences between customs, values, and beliefs of
your culture and a different culture while Global literacy involves learning
about other world regions through arts and culture, language, economics,
geography, mathematics, and science.
