Is it valuable to learn about other cultures in the classroom?

Learning about other cultures not only in the classroom but also outside of the classroom such as in the public, movies theater, shopping malls etc. helps us gain knowledge and understand more about different people around the world. Culture forms friendships between people. Culture helps any conversation among individuals interesting. Individuals from different cultures have different ways of living life style. Learning through sharing different experiences and life styles, we may see the world different. Some things may not have been more obvious in one culture, may help understand if we know other culture, for example; lord Buddha who have always followed peace in his life; following his path and prospective may help individual from other culture see things more clearly.

More interestingly, it's the food - different cultures have different food. Food forms friendships. People usually get tired of eating the same food everyday. They would love to try food and even want to know the recipe to make it themselves. People feel good about themselves making food from different cultures. This is allow them to be more creative -- in turns will motivate them to do good and positive things and be open minded.

Learning cultures had only positive things. It will make everyone appreciate each other's culture. For example, some cultures have strong feeling about their religion, where only men should or allowed to go to school. Some cultures only teach religious thorough their churches. But, in a diverse society you are forced to learn about each other and interact with each other -- no matter what their religion is.

Therefore, I truly believe that we should encourage individuals to travel more around the world; experience new foods, and try to learn other cultures while sharing their own with others. This will make our society more caring and loving, through connecting with each other. The world would definitely be a happy place and we will appreciate each other more.
