Report: Multicultural and Antiracism Education

Yesterday, there was a lecture made by professor of Canada. Culture is a system for differentiating between in-group and out-group people and is changing. They are so different that they become conflict sometimes. Each country has own tradition and rule called culture coat. Culture coat is including like humor, silence, gender roles, physical touch, individual and gruop etc........ I was amazed to hear that Canada is a mix nation or a nation of immigrant and so many people come to live there from other country every year. Therefore, in school or university of Canada, Coelho's activity which helps immigrants know the structure or rule of there is often done. Their goal is to accept immigrants actively.
As for racism, there are often many stereotypes. For example, Japanese are good at math or science, Chinese are quitet and peacable etc...... However, it is really important to see things from many point of views. The professor told us Cinderella story as an example of this idea. Cinderella is really romantic story when we read this by Dinsney style. However, in the Grimm Broithers' fairy tales, it becomes horrible story. Like this, we should not depend on our own stereotypes. It was really interesting lecture and I was made to think about these things seriously.
