Exploring World Cultures (Second Edition, Groups 1 – 6)
In an increasingly global society, the actions of one country can often be felt around the world. A war started by Russia can influence the food supply in Canada. Art from the Dominican Republic can inspire an artist in Italy. Trade, culture, government, and more all influence our global society. Learning about other countries is a crucial part of being a global citizen. Engaging text and enlightening sidebars give readers a comprehensive overview of countries such as Brazil, India, and Vietnam. By learning about the differences between their own and other cultures, children gain a deeper respect for all people.
