Diversity in the American Classrooms

The classrooms of the schools in the United States of America, oddly for the public ones, may be considered as a box of M&Ms or Skittles, where each student is of diametrical ethnical background and comes from a culture different from the rest. The flooding and diversity of cultures in the classrooms may be due to the fact that the Ameri apprize corpse of breeding seeks to educate the most number of people and to provide Western thoughts and theories. In addition to this, the American System of statement has proven its economic set by giving its graduates the edge among the rest.The excellence exuded by the universities and schools and America can be seen by their continuous grip on the top 10 rankings among the universities of the world. Out of the 10 top universities of the world, six be from the United States. These universities are Harvard University (1), Yale University (2), Princeton University (6), University of Chicago (7), California Institute of engine room (7), an d Massachusetts Institute of Technology (10) (Top 400 Universities).As said earlier, the economic value placed for the graduates of these universities is high(prenominal) than the others and this would be a very strong advantage for the American System of Education. The fact that the best upbringing could be found in the US paves the way for a higher quality in terms of human being capital. The labor trade of the American country is consequently fillight-emitting diode with professionals conjugated with the decent opportunities created by the economy. Thus, it can be said that the good education and sterling quality for the tertiary education can be a antecedent component for a good pool of professionals for the firms.This wrenchs a factor in reducing the poverty rate for the country. The high demand for the American Education puts much pressure to pursue excellence. America is considered as the work of milk and honey by a lot of people (Soriano). In relation to this, the Ame rican dream matches the belief that America is the land of milk and honey. The American dream is the pursuit of material prosperity and where life is develop and richer according to ones ability (What is the American Dream? ). This has led to the influx of migration to the US by families and the subsequent rise for cultural diversity.This cultural diversity provides a huge benefit for several reasons. First, the classroom diversity enhances the classroom experience for both the students and the teachers. Aside from the day-to-day topics that the teacher or professor discusses and the facts presented by the textbook, the diversity in the classroom serves the purpose of show through experience. One could learn from the various beliefs, traditions, principles, customs, and languages that the other cultures have (Vortemizzi). In a way, it gives the students learn extra things without the stringent requirements of the educational setting.Their daily interaction with the other cultur es and the high frequency of such would create a higher level of movie for both cultures. Likewise, the teachers as well as learn to manage the differences in each classroom and learns how to deal with a diverse group of students to gravel fully aware of an inter internal setting. Second, the diversity of the classrooms in the American educational System prepares the students for the international arena. When one achieves to excel and think global, interaction and dialogue with other cultures is inevitcapable.The primary problem that is often encountered in international conversation is with regard to how messages are perceived by the receiver and is sometimes different from what the sender means. According to Habeck et al. , although the words are often the same, the meaning and hard assumptions can be very different, leading to misunderstanding and confusion (86). However, with the exposure that the American classrooms bring to the students of different culture, the problem would be minimized curiously if the atmosphere inside the school is accommodating to the various cultures.Likewise, the teachers and the school administrators would be able to prepare for a varied setting and to be able to compete with the dynamic ways of the education sector. This would mean that there would be more chances that the enrollment rate would be higher since leeway is tending(p) for the acceptation of other cultures. The recognition of teachers and administrators of the different cultures provides for a comfortable tuition situation in which to realize their educational goals and accomplishments (Connors).Third, this kind of setting teaches the students to become aware of how flexibility, tolerance, respect, and acceptance is important for everyone. This is especially true for the case of tender children in the pre-school where they are given the opportunities to be able to understand a different color than they have. This makes them prepared for further challenges and in addition equips them with the value of acceptance and understanding. With this, the friction is reduced especially when one would enter the workplace.The workplace is considered to be a rather dynamic setting where an international labor market is starting to emerge and the need to deal with different cultures is increasing. There is also the claim that with the acceptance and respect for the different cultures, social stability could be preserved and crime and poverty will be prevented (Public Education in the United States). Likewise, my personal experience with regard to interacting with different cultures and nice aware that my culture is not the lone culture existing directly has provided me with the chance to freely accept the whereabouts of a culturally diverse surrounding.This has also kept me more sensitive and aware of the other cultures and has helped me in the traffic and interactions I made with other people. For instance, my English class includes cultures of Asians, Middle East, Europeans, and Hispanic. I am able to adapt to this kind of setting for I am able to interact with them daily and understand their ways. With the foregoing discussion, it can be said that one benefit of the American system of education is its power to accept various cultures and this provides benefits for both the students, the teachers, and the system itself.Works Cited Connors, Jeanne.
