Why is Culture important!

We did some Inquiry Activities to look at "Why we think it is important to know about other Cultures."
 We worked in groups and responded to some statements about culture.

"If someone is unlike you, seek to understand them": ( Say why you agree or disagree)
We agree because you need to see other people from their point of view.
If someone can't talk the English acknowledge them but don't make them feel bad about how they are.
We agree because it is better to understand people you don't understand.

"It's good to learn about someone else's culture."
Yes it is because it is nice to hear what its like to be in their culture.
It is great to learn a different language and to learn other people's culture.
You find out what other people are like. It helps countries to come closer together because the understand one another better.

We come from different cultures but we belong to one race - the human race.
We are all different but the same, respect what you have.
Even though we are from different countries we are all the same. We still need to show respect to each other.
We are different but we belong to one group.

Culture is important.
You can learn how other people live and how lucky you are.
You can try different foods and try different things from other cultures.

Treat others as you would like them to treat you. 
If you want to keep your friends be nice to them.
If someone is being mean to you be nice to them and hopefully they will be nic back.
You would want to be nice to people because if you don't they won't be nice to you. 
Don't bully people then they won't bully you.
Show generosity to people and be nice and kind.
