Not everyone in the world shares your values. Do you think every person in America shares your values? Why or Why Not? Does everyone in this classroom share your values? Why or Why Not? No I do not think people in America have the same values because their cultures and things in there personal life influence the way they act or how they feel. I don’t think kids in this class think the same way because we all experience different things in our lives daily.

Essential Questions

How can you avoid cultural stereotyping? You can avoid it by not judging people by there culture but how they act towards others.

6. Research the immigration law(s) recently passed in Arizona. Do you agree with the law(s)? Why or Why Not? I do agree with it because even though they deserve the same treatment citizens do they are breaking the law and they may get in even more trouble.
