Well there is this multicultural project and I was wondering if I did okay.
Topic: What does communities, our Nation, our world mean to me?
What does being in a diverse school affect me?
And here it is:
Have you ever heard this statement before?
"And when this happens, when we allow freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual:
Free at last! Free at last!
Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!"
If you have, then you know this was said by Martin Luther King. His ideal of diffrent cultures being free, and working together as one, is running threw my generation's vains. Our Nation has came a long way since Dr. Martin Luther King spoke those words. Even today in my school; we have people of diffrent cultures working together or hanging out without even caring about each others race. To us, we are just people with diffrent culture we can share, and learn from. I feel this way because I was raised around so many diffrent cultures that I don't judge others, or look at them diffrent upon their appearence. Instead I ask "Where are you from?", "How is it like?", and "Can you teach me?" these are some of my favorite to ask . With all the diversity, there is more communication to get to know one another. We can tell about where we grew up, and how it was like for us.
I feel so far as I've been with South East high school; I can saftly say I feel comfortable here. Its small but yet it is widley diverse with Latinos, African Americans, Native Americans, Orientals, and we also have a Sister school in China! With this in mind, to me this makes our school bigger than our other local schools; because we get along and race doesn't effect us. But you see its not just my school that believes in multicultul, its the nation...the continent... THE WORLD! It may seem like the world doesn't care but for only their people in their country, but when their is a disaster like the Tsunami that hit Asia in the fall last year. The world just didn't stand there and watch India suffer, but instead regaurdless of religion or race, people came from all around the world to help them with money, boats, rescues, and homes that is what the true nature of humans can do no matter the color or what another says.
Next, I feel that the most important thing that cultral diversity has brought, is food! There is so many diffrent kind of foods in the US brought from diffrent cultures; that...one...two... its more than my ten fingers and toes put together to compare. With all the varity of food in US, its brung alot of diffrent cultures together because they are trying new things and liking it. For me, I have always liked trying new things. If there is food I come accross that I dislike, then I simply go on to another type or style of my liking.
