SL 110 - Cultural Diversity

Institution:

Columbia-Greene Community College

Subject:

Description:

An introduction to cultural pluralism in the United States by looking closely at four groups: Native Americans, African-Americans, Hispanics, and Asian Americans. Their political, social, and cultural history as well as their encounter with white America will be explored. The twofold goal is to increase information about these groups and thereby increase sensitivity, understanding, and appreciation for diversity. Diversity will be examined from the perspectives of psychology, sociology, and anthropology, learning what each can contribute to our understanding of the problems presented by cultural differences in the U.S. and the consequences for individuals who live in a pluralistic society.
