Publisher's Synopsis
Teens ~ Accept and Embrace Diversity capitalizes on what comes naturally cohesion not cruelty. Teens can un-learn bigotry and become broad-minded, experience empathy for people they previously judged and replace criticism with compassion. To welcome diversity reduces and/or diminishes prejudice and nurtures respect for one's own and others' cultures. The activities in this book will encourage teens to accept other cultures' various views and to become aware of the influences of their own home life, environment, friends, community, and media. They will be encouraged to think for themselves.
The seven chapters include: Accepting Diversity, Physical Diversity, Mental Diversity, Social Diversity, Exceptions to Acceptance, Avoiding Stereotypes and Prejudice, and Advocacy in Action.
