If I had to give a soundtrack to unti 1 of Think Teen B', I believe I would choose the following song...
The lyrics of the song are a plea for racial tolerance.
The lyrics of the song are a plea for racial tolerance.
The title of the first unit is "Unity in Diversity". The title implies that although there are many differences in terms
of customs and traditions, architecture, sports and entertainment, education,
arts, food and eating habits, relationships and attitudes all over the world
(DIVERSITY), yet people are fundamentally the same, with the same needs, fears
and hopes for the future (UNITY).
A question that is posed in unit 1 is "What is Culture?"
According to Ruth Benedict, “Culture is what
binds (people) together”(Brown, p. 46). Culture is all the accepted and patterned ways
of behavior of a given people. It is that facet of human
life learned by people as a result of belonging to some particular group; it is that part of learned behavior
shared with others. Not only does this concept include a group’s way of thinking, feeling, and acting, but also the internalized patterns for doing certain things in certain ways . . . not
just the doing of them. This concept of culture also includes the physical manifestations of a group as exhibited in their
achievements and contributions to civilization. Culture is our social legacy as
contrasted with our organic heredity. It regulates our lives at every turn.
