Why is World Cultures Important? Our Area of Study Download my Back to School Night handout: It breaks down the class. World Cultures is an opportunity for students to dispel stereotypes and ignorance of the world around them. By examining other cultures students will begin to truly understand their own culture, as well as appreciate other cultures that share our planet. My goal is for students to not only identify differences in cultures, but to also understand that there are themes and ideas that are common between all cultures. It is important to know that people act differently around the world...but it is even more important to know 'why'. What Will I Do To Make Class Interesting?
