Introduction To CulturesIt is a multi-cultural world that we live in. By familiarizing children at a young age to the different cultures that make up our world they will realize that we are all part of a greater "human family". This lays a foundation for better understanding of co-operation and harmony among human beings. Maria Montessori felt that world peace was a very important issue and to achieve lasting peace we must start with the children. Children quickly pick up and accept that differences are all right, and that it is the differences that make life interesting and exciting. Learning to respect others is a very valuable benefit from this experience. |
