3. Education: Values and Expectations
‘Culture Shock’
e.g. (a). students must humbly obey their teachers’ directions and
remain silent during the class
(b). students are allowed to criticize or even contradict their teacher
(c). a prayer in the classroom may be acceptable, while in another it
may be forbidden
A diverse student population on campuses helps some American realize
that the ‘American way’ is not the only way of life.

4. Diversity in Higher Education
Some communities have adult schools as well as
two-year colleges
 to receive specific vocational training that will
assist them in their jobs
to pursue interests for which they were too
busy when they were young
“You are never too old to learn”
