There are many ways to be diverse and multicultural according to Steinberg, please provide examples of the ways you have witnessed? There are many ways to be diverse and multicultural. First of all, we need to understand the meaning of each concept. Second, be open to other cultures and also accept and respect the beliefs of others. Third, stay away from cultural blindness, fourth, understand the combination of race, class and gender as they interact and mix with each other. Educationally, the future dominant agenda should end. It is important to create a culturally sensitive curriculum that matches the needs of students and respects their backgrounds and beliefs. Additionally, refrain from color blindness and view people as people of color. Additionally, racial equality must be implemented in a fair and realistic manner. Minority groups should have accessible opportunities in all aspects of life. On the other hand, the notion presented by Steinberg focuses on identity and should be followed and adapted into the belief system. Additionally, sharing social life events with minorities can facilitate communication and understanding among the ethical group. Finally, we must believe that all humans should have equal opportunities to work and succeed in life.________________________________________________________________________________The definition of power in a multicultural context is often created around social constructs, such as race, class, gender and ethnic origin, to access privileges. Give examples from your school district where critical multiculturalism intersects with power blocs. An example of class elitism Some military training schools I attended for my training and work support the elitist theory...... middle of paper ...... bosses in a school setting despite their rhetoric on “fair opportunities for success” (Steinberg, 2009) An example of patriarchy Schools are dominated by men, let's be realistic where gender inequality persists and spreads. Most of the schools I have worked or studied for are organized and administered by men. Male authority figures design the rules and regulations before giving orders to implement them. We live in a man's world at school, at work and in life in general. Men make the rules and dominate in all forums outside the home. The main value of a woman is to provide for a man (behind every good man is a good woman), to have children and to do household chores. This is how it has been done for millennia in most cultures. Patriarchy hinders critical multicultural education, because in this case we will not be able to think objectively about gender due to gender domination. .
