2nd Blog Assignment (Culture Identity Wrap- up)

In this unit on Cultural Identity, I learned about the concept of melting pot and salad bowl. I never heard about it before. Now, I understand melting pot means different cultures become one culture, and salad bowl means different cultures mix but stay independent. I chose this concept because I think it is interesting. I also learned a new idea in “They’ve Got to be Carefully Taught”. It showed us that there is an appropriate age to teach concepts such as cultural diversity. If you teach it too early or too late, there will be a bad effect on the children. So, you also have to teach melting pot and salad bowl at the right age.
