Case: Cultural Diversity
Juan is from EL Salvador and is new to his 8th grade middle school. He brings in several books from his from his 8th grade class t hat are from EL Salvador. The books have gender defamation statements towards women. In his culture women are submissive and secondary to males. How do you explain to Juan that the culture is different in the United States without restricting his beliefs?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
It would be great for the teacher to explain to the student that there are similarities and some differences in gender roles in the U.S. in comparison to El Salvador. I would recommend focusing on similarities to help the student feel welcomed in his new environment. It would be important for the teacher to conduct a little research on El Salvador and women leaders in that country and Central America. El Salvador is a Central American country and currently there are female presidents in Central America, thus it would be beneficial to explain to the student that women's roles are respected in the U.S. and also respected in Central America. Also explain that women's roles are evolving in the U.S. and Central America, and give the example the U.S. has not had a female president yet, however, it is likely to happen within the next few years. Laura Chinchilla is the President of Costa Rica, located close to El Salvador. Nicaragua and Panama have both had female presidents as well. Also in South America, the president of Chile is a female. Spanish speaking countries have had many female leaders and presidents. It would be great for the teacher to share this information with the student and have him do some research on the women leaders in El Salvador. I believe the teacher and the student will both benefit from this research, and this information could be shared with the class as well. |

| Comments: I don't think bringing up other Spanish speaking countries or other countries in Central America will change his views. He won't relate to that because it is still different than his culture. I would do research on El Salvador though to better understand where he comes from and maybe talk to his parents about the books. |
