Communications have brought people from different countries and cultures closer than ever. You can "chat" with someone in New Zealand while you are in Mexico City!!! Physical distance is not a problem any more. Even more, people are increasingly migrating to other countries looking for better opportunities, to continue their education, to learn new languages, etc. It is a fact that learning from other cultures promotes empathy towards people with different nationalities, religions and races but it has also been considered as a controversial issue. Here are two videos that I have found which show positive and negative aspects of multiculturalism:
1. "Multicultural Education" What is the difference between normal and multicultural education? What is multicultural education about? What are some controversial issues about multicultural education? What do you think about multicultural education?

2. "Multicultural Project" What does this project intends to achieve? How do the participants feel about it? What is one important result of this project? Write 3 sentences that describe the project. Would you like to participate in a similar project? Why or why not?
