How might exposure to world cuisines at school lunches broaden students' cultural awareness?

 @9KLZ8PC from California  answered…1yr1Y

It might show them that there isn't much diversity in food in other cultures if they only only witness and eat one type of food.

 @9KM2JN7  from Arkansas  answered…1yr1Y

They'll become much more open to other things like where the food comes from, the culture, the language, and it'll give them the opportunity to learn and ask questions about places outside of the United States. It may cause them to learn something that the adults in their lives were never taught or hadn't taught the children themselves yet.

 @9KM43B2 from Missouri  answered…1yr1Y

A lot, but kids have allergies and some are very picky eaters so it could be difficult

What personal growth have you experienced as a result of working on a project with people whose abilities differ from yours?

 @9JPBKC3 from Indiana  answered…1yr1Y

I have grown by knowing I can help further peoples abilities or vice versa from them by learning from them

 @9JPCMV6 from Illinois  answered…1yr1Y

As long as you get to know one another, things will get done efficiently. You have to make sure work is spread out equally so no one person gets the majority of the work.

What personal experiences can you share where having a range of opinions led to a more fun or interesting activity?

 @9L668WJWomen’s Equality from Indiana  answered…1yr1Y

 @9L66GGT from Michigan  answered…1yr1Y

When given a bunch of opinions it lets your creativity work and lets your brain problem-solve through the denial and the differing opinions. When I get to talk to people about my ideas I get very, very heated. I was talking to a friend who was saying he was excited to see TikTok finally get banned and that they should fund it more when there is a literal genocide happening in Israel and Gaza, and he agreed it was a big deal but he felt as if banning an app that has been through this same ringer more than 4 separate times was more important than trying to aid people dying for no good reason.…  Read more

One personal experience that comes to mind is a group hiking trip I went on with friends. We were planning to hike a trail in a nearby national park. As we started discussing the route, each person had their own ideas about which trail to take and what landmarks to visit along the way.

One friend advocated for a longer, more challenging trail that would take us deep into the wilderness, promising breathtaking views and a sense of accomplishment. Another friend preferred a shorter, more leisurely route that would allow us to relax and enjoy the scenery without exerting ourselves too much. Yet…  Read more

One personal experience where having a range of opinions led to a more fun activity was during a group hike. Some preferred a leisurely pace, enjoying the scenery, while others wanted a more challenging trail for excitement. Combining these perspectives made the hike both enjoyable and adventurous for everyone involved.

Could learning multiple languages in school help encourage pluralistic thinking?

 @9KCRTFR from Texas  answered…1yr1Y

Yes because you're learning something new but it could also be useful in your future life if you plan on moving to a different country or state.

 @9KCMBHL from Texas  answered…1yr1Y

It could given that learning the language also often coincides with learning a basic understanding of the culture of whatever language you are learning.

 @9KCM9GS from Virginia  answered…1yr1Y

I would love to see a multilingual education system in the US. However, our schools are failing our children. So it is a big bridge to cross.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1yr1Y

Imagine a society without diversity of thought; what do you think would be lost in such a scenario?

 @9JJQX3H from Wisconsin  answered…1yr1Y

we would lose Most of what the U.S. is known for like the melting pot theory of how everyone travels to live here and people from all around the world come here. We just lose that diversity and that's one great thing about this country

 @9JJQXGN from Texas  answered…1yr1Y

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

In what ways do you think technology and social media influence pluralism in society today?

 @9H83PC2 from Texas  answered…2yrs2Y

Technology and social media influence pluralism by spreading news and people's opinions worldwide. Social media is a good way to connect people from around the world and share their thoughts.

 @9H82WR4 from Texas  answered…2yrs2Y

Affects it by giving the ability to people to post fake news, and fake media to influence people to do something that's not good.

I was heard during group projects in school which allowed for a more diverse look on the topic which is what we need in a diverse society.

 @9HDJWMC from New Hampshire  answered…2yrs2Y

When we did a class vote for who wanted to go to recess first and who wanted to eat first ad I voted for eating first and eating first won.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

 @9HZ4W5XWomen’s Equality from New York  answered…1yr1Y

Yes, discussing various view points will often alter the way many people will look at certain situations.

 @9HZ4RLF from New York  answered…1yr1Y

Yes because it leads students to be educated about political issues and know the proper use of voting.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

Have you ever changed a strongly held belief due to the influence of a diverse group?

 @9HJJWL9 from Alaska  answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, one example is that as I've aged I've grown a lot more accepting of LGBTQ+ people via learning about more obscure topics and redefining my perception of gender and sexuality. I also tend to add caveats onto strongly held beliefs when they're presented to me and I agree that they're logical; one example is abortion-- while I do strongly believe that it's a medical necessity for people and the difficulty of getting abortions should be minimized, I also understand that they're traumatic, can have complications, and there's a valid philosophical conundrum tied to them, so policies should be created to prevent the NEED for abortions as well.

 @9HJJT5M from Utah  answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, they have given me information about a topic that isn’t immediately apparent

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

How do you feel when someone challenges your perspectives, and how can this shape a pluralistic society?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1yr1Y

How has a piece of advice from someone with a different background influenced your actions or beliefs?

 @9LHWYXSfrom Virgin Islands  answered…1yr1Y

Before I did not have a strong stance, but now I understand it as a modern apartheid.

Does having friends with different hobbies and interests challenge your own passions or enhance them?

 @9KD8C62 from Georgia  answered…1yr1Y

It can do both. Some may allow it to challenge their passions, while others may take the experience from other, and use their knowledge to enhance them.

 @9KD7RGYConstitutionanswered…1yr1Y

It enhances them because everone is good at their own things which alwas enhance our lives when we choose to not see it as a threat

How do you think having classmates from different backgrounds affects classroom discussions?

 @9L9XM2G from New York  answered…1yr1Y

I think classmates from different backgrounds have different opinions on classroom discussions because they have had different experiences.

Empathy and Understanding: Learning about diverse historical perspectives cultivates empathy and understanding.
Cultural Awareness: By studying diverse historical perspectives, students become more culturally aware.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

How does including a range of voices in decision-making change the outcomes?

 @9HSCJW6 from North Carolina  answered…2yrs2Y

Depends on what you mean by a "range of voices." If you mean that "range" to include a bunch of smart people who have different/varying - but logically sound opinions - on a matter, than the affect on the outcome should be to have a more reasoned, intelligent decision. If "range" is just liberal gobbledy-gook for people of different sexual orientations, genders, etc. - than the affect would more likely than not be to just end up with a muddled or idiotic, non-sensical decision.

 @9HSCDHF from Nevada  answered…2yrs2Y

The more voices we have from different backgrounds, the less our chances are of becoming a nation that is controlled and subjugated by one ideology or another. We need to be free from religious control, especially those that involve extremist views.

Can a society truly be fair if it doesn't embrace pluralism?

 @9H3LWWM from Arkansas  answered…2yrs2Y

The premise is flawed as “fair” doesn’t exist in practice. Reality is a harsh mistress and the existence or lack of pluralism won’t change that
