Is It Valuable To Learn About Other Cultures?

I think it is good to learn about other cultures in the classroom because it gives people a better perspective of the things that happen in the world. In my opinion, learning about other countries and their culture at a younger age will reduce the amount of racism because people will be have somewhat of an understanding of where their ethnic friends came from. They will understand that the way they behave is maybe related to how they were raised.

In the movie "Babies", four babies from 4 different countries are documented, Namibia, Mongolia, Japan and USA. All four of them were raised and taught differently, but they were happy and reaching their milestones (like walking and saying their first words). If children all over the world watched this, they would see that there are kids that play different games (maybe without toys) but still have a good time. It shows kids a different way of growing up it may show kids to appreciate the things they have. Showing this to adults wouldn't be a bad idea either, because it shows parents-to-be a way to raise their kids, without making them have materialistic obsessions.
