PPST Writing: Schools should require students to study other cultures in dept...

[Kulsoom]

"In order to prepare students to live in a culturally diverse society, schools should formally require all students to study other cultures and societies in depth."

A sensible idea indeed: America is no doubt a society of diverse cultures, and this diversity is increasing every instance. Hence the upcoming generation requires more skills to live and communicate in this ilk of society. Studying other cultures in school time can be of great help in this regard.

Firstly, the motive of school education is not to produce, career oriented students, but to produce better human beings who can live and share the world with others in better terms. Keeping this in mind, students should be made to study subjects that can help them understand their surroundings, and their neighbors. This can help them to develop a good rapport in a diverse society.

Secondly, social sciences, if the curriculum helps to widen the scope, can eliminate the hesitation that keeps people away from coming into friendly terms, with each other. People from different societies will be able to intermingle with ease and comfort, if given the opportunity of understanding each other. Once this reluctance is overcome, our society will improve dramatically. It is a proven truth that, the betterment and improvement of any social system depends upon the depth of the relationship, which its individuals enjoy.

Moreover, educating students about diverse cultures can help them understand their own culture in a better manner. Contrasting their own trends and ideas with others, is a very good way of understanding that what is better and why. The juvenile minds will not only learn about other cultures, but will also get closer to their own culture. They will start developing an affection for their own culture, when they will compare and see the differences.

Furthermore, human beings are always in search of better opportunities. Studying diverse cultures, from very early age, can help the upcoming youth in developing a better common culture that contains many different trends from various societies. In such a culture, healthy habits are surely given more chances to develop. This pruning of ideas can help the society in becoming healthy and strong. The inhabitants of such a society are more confident, self relying, open-minded, and versatile in nature.

In short, I see no obstacle in opting for a curriculum that can certainly help in making our society a better place for its inhabitants.

Hello Kitos and all dear friends of forum. I have given my PRAXIS I test today. At the moment I am exhausted, but I am still here, just to share my feelings. I am so happy that I find this site and I am continuously improving my writing, reading, grammar and vocabulary. It helps me everywhere.
Now, for today's test; I got 185/190 for mathematics and 176/190 for reading section.
The writing section's result comes later as it includes to sections, one consist of an essay and the other consists of grammar.
Well I passed the test in reading and mathematics because the passing marks for mathematics portion is 175 and for reading section is 172. So I passed both of them. Full result will come in two to three weeks.

Thank you Kitos,
God bless you.
