We as educators must teach about culture and how it interlaces with science so that we can help students develop empathy and respect for various perspectives, and aid them in navigating a multicultural society. Our world is continuously linked through technology and because of this our students need to be global competitors for occupations. To do this, we must teach them to celebrate diversity between one another. Learning about cultures and how they develop can also help students develop critical thinking skills. By exploring different perspectives, students can learn to look at issues from multiple angles. All cultures are shaped by the natural world. By teaching the foundational reasons why there are differences in cultures can help dispel prejudicial views and prevent them from forming, thus, break down stereotypes and misconceptions.
