3. CULTURAL TOLERANCE
What Is Tolerance?
Tolerance is very important concept
when learning to respect and accept
other cultures.
Generally speaking, tolerance is the
recognition of the universal human
rights and freedom of others
 it is giving acceptance of the
differences of others without judgment.
 In other words, it is a respect of
diversity, and making peace possible.

4. How to Be Culturally Responsive ?
• It’s about the ability to learn from and relate to
people of your own culture as well of others
• Being culturally responsive requires openness
to different viewpoints, thoughts, and
experiences.
• This is not about changing others to be more
like you. Instead, it is about exploring and
honoring the differences of others. Developing
a cultural- responsive attitude is a life-long
journey

5. • Developing cultural self-awareness : Understanding
your own cultural background is the first step to
understand that others hold different values and beliefs
and believe in them as much as you believe in yours.
• Learn to appreciate and value diverse views. Do not
judge views that differ from yours . Instead, just accept
that they are different .
• Avoid imposing your own values. Once you are aware
of cultural differences, you may find that the cultural
norms of some groups make you uncomfortable. Again,
it is important to resist the urge to judge. Instead, make
a conscious effort to understand the other perspective.
• Resist stereotyping. Avoid all stereotypes whether
"negative" or "positive." Statements such as "blondes
are dumb" or "Asians are good at maths" will never be
true of all individuals within that population.

7. Tips for Fostering Tolerance in the
classroom :
• Live by the "golden rule": Behave with others in a
way that you want them to behave with you .
• View differences as positive. Learning about
diversity and cultural differences can be fun.
Rather than being fearful and critical of people
who are different, learn about their differences
• Remember we all share the same world.
Regardless of our differences, this world belongs
to us all. To be tolerant is to welcome those
differences.
• Focus on diverse selection of authors so that
students can learn different cultures and their
histories

8. ENCULTRATION
• Enculturation = to learn one's own culture, a process
that is influenced strongly by home and
family. Enculturation is the process by which an
individual learns the norms and values of a culture
through unconscious repetition
Example: Parents have a strong influence in
enculturation their children
• Enculturation is not a deliberate or forced teaching to an
individual, it comes through the interaction with people
of the society .
• Culture includes social values, norms, arts, beliefs,
customs, traditions, food patterns, clothing styles and
many more things that are needed in order to survive in
that particular society

10. ACCULTRATION
• Acculturate= to learn aspects of a culture other
than one's own - particularly those aspects which
will enable the individual to survive in that culture.
• Acculturation happens when two cultures meet
together and when there is cultural interchange.
• It is Cultural modification of an individual by
adapting traits from another culture.
• It usually happens when individual gets exposure
to more than one culture
• Example: If you moved to another country, you
would need a year to acculturate in that society
