Rationale
Today's students must realize that the world is shrinking and becoming flatter. Jobs are outsourced and more people now remain in their own countries and still make a living. Those jobs could not be filled at the same living wage required elsewhere. As cultures collide, students must understand how to deal with and understand people from other parts of the world. Introducing students to the broad range of cultural and societal customs and traditions will help them to understand and tolerate differences. Since the literature in my curriculum is a constant, the variable option for me is to utilize film to maximize the scope of the study and enhance the methods through which students will achieve the goal of discovering their places in the world as they become adults.
