you need to get started. You can form any charity you
wish, to support any cause you deem worthy. Which

Building Cultural Bridges
 In this unit, students will explore cultural diversity around the
world. Students realize that their world extends around the
globe and beyond and they have learned that this connection
begins at a personal level by recognizing commonalities they
share with those they once viewed only as different. In previous
units, students have learned that literature can bring together
people from different cultures. Yet one viewing of the nightly
news proves that cultural harmony is far from a reality. Cultural
clashes continue to afflict the world, and conflicts over cultural
differences are increasingly a source of such conflicts. In this
unit, students will examine cultural differences in depth,
including its causes and its effects. By the end of this unit,
students will begin to identify ways to promote cultural
understanding in their own communities.
 Essential Questions:
 How do cultural differences contribute to conflicts?
 What is the value of self-reflection in preparing for one’s future?
