Exploring World Cultures (Second Edition, Group 4)

The world has never been more connected than it is at present. However, when information about other cultures comes primarily from the news and the internet, it can be easy for young adults to form a shallow, stereotypical image of other cultures. In this series, readers delve into the vibrant art of South Korea, music of Kenya, cuisine of Italy, and more. They also learn about the beliefs and values that shape each culture's worldviews. Through engaging, age-appropriate text, students gain a deeper understanding of the diverse ways people live and thrive around the globe.
