    By connecting children in different global regions we are now able to close the gaps between our cultures and societies. Children from America can now take part in global celebrations, which will broaden their minds, and open up their hearts to new and different cultures and concepts. Introducing children to multicultural experiences will “encourage children’s curiosity.” (Hagiwara, 1998) Children are capable of learning new things with little difficulty, if becoming culturally diverse became part of their everyday habits by the time that they entered college they would already be well round individual with a vast knowledge of the global society.…

    Literature is the art of written work. There are different types of literature. The major forms are novels, poems, dramas, short stories, or novellas. Literature can be divided, and it can be divided according to historical periods, political influences, and genres. Into these forms, there are different genres; epic, romances, tragedy, comedy, drama, etc. Whether it starts in the home or in a school atmosphere, people choose to read based upon what interest them. Some people read based upon a suggestion from a friend. A lot of people are required to read stories based upon instructors given assignment. We may even choose to read books by judging the book by its cover. Judging a book by its cover doesn’t necessarily work when speaking figuratively, but when it comes to a story it may or may not amount to a good read. There is a form of literature that separated its form from many, and that is multicultural literature. The concept multiculturalism is actually controversial, and when it comes to education, there are some who claim multiculturalism is necessary, while others may claim that it goes against national values and unity. The importance of multicultural education and multicultural literature is to increase cultural awareness.…

    When I was in grade school, I don’t recall coming across to many books that weren’t traditionally in the curriculum. I mean everything I read in grade school was a solid, remarkable piece of literature but nothing I could ever relate too. Even though I grew up in a diverse time, I didn’t read multicultural literature in school. I read them on my own time. Multicultural literature should be integrated into the curriculum of today’s school system; I believe multicultural literature teaches children about the similarities they have with another culture as well as it being a way for children to relate to others. However finding good quality multicultural literature is maybe very hard to come by.…
