Culture for Kids – Who Am I?

Culture for Kids will make you wonder.  Why do I speak the language I speak?  What makes me different from others in the world?  Culture for Kids will also make you wonder about others your age who are from different countries.  Culture for Kids will get you thinking about your ancestors.  Do you have any famous ancestors?  What if you are related to an outlaw?  Or a King? What if long long ago your ancestor was a famous General in a war? Or an Indian Chief?  Maybe your great-great-great-great-grandfather was a gold miner, a sailor, or a Pict (people who tattooed themselves with bright colors).  Culture for Kids will help you learn about those before you – not just their names.  You will learn what Global Village they came from and how they lived.

You are probably related to some amazing people!  They may have come from some amazing places, too.  Some of your ancestors may have been explorers, conquerors, slaves, or just plain everyday folks.  Don’t you want to know how they lived?  That is what culture is all about – how people live their lives everyday.

Be proud of your culture; learn more about it.  What family values does your culture teach? What language did your ancestors speak? What kinds of music, art, and dance did they enjoy?  What was their religion?  What holidays did they celebrate?  Did they have rites of passage? What is a rite of passage? Do you or your family belong to an ethnic group?  What is an ethnic group? These are important things to know because they all represent a part of who you are.   If you live in America, but you are not a Native American, your ancestors came from somewhere far away.

Wouldn’t you like to know why they risked their life to travel across an ocean?  Maybe your ancestors were seafarers and left their homelands to end up in Australia or New Zealand, or the thousands of other islands that occupy the oceans.

The following short video introduces you to various cultures around the world.  Which one did you or your ancestors come from?

This course will help you learn who you really are.  You will discover which Global Village, or culture region are part of your cultural heritage.  Learning new words and new terms adds to your learning potential in the future.

You will learn that everyone is different and that differences, and diversity, are more about culture than about outward appearances.  Understanding culture will empower you to be respectful, accepting, tolerant, and less inclined to bullying.

Until you know you are more than your name, you cannot be well prepared  for your adventurous future!
