Calculation（40%）1. Here is part of a learning diary about education course by a American student , which states his attitude to learning culture.Why be concerned about culture? After all, we all live in the same country. Most of us speak the same language, and those who don’t have the chance to learn English in school. Most of us dress the same, bathe every day, and enjoy the same foods and entertainment and comforts. If you don’t think so, just spend some time in a really foreign country. Then you’ll see just how American you are….Sure, I plan to be a teacher…and I see it as my responsibility to help everyone learn to the best of their ability and to fit into the American society. When we start to look at differences between the races and other groups, we tend to development stronger stereotypes…Besides, I think it’s prejudiced to look at a person’s race or cultural differences, especially in the classroom where we’re supposed to treat everyone equally.What kind of education view does he have in his diary? And how does he understand culture? Please find out that he lacks of multi-cultural view and then explain it.（20%）2. Here is the criticism about the multi-cultural study given by Chicago Cultural Studies Group:“Multicultural studies is vulnerable at the juncture, not only because of the reactionary attack on it in the popular press, but because of weaknesses in its own rhetoric: an over-reliance on the efficacy of theory; a false voluntarism about political engagement; an unrecognized assumption of civil-society conditions; a tendency to limit ground of critique to a standard brace of minorities identities (for example, race, class, and gender); and a forgetfulness about how its terms circulate in Third World contexts which are often expected to provide raw material for integration in Western vision of multicultural pluralism.”Do you agree the statement? Why? （20分）四川师范大学教育科学学院教育学专业2007－2008学年度第一学期期末考试多元文化教育学试卷A参考答案与评分细则I.

Calculation (40%）1. His multi-cultural education view is that he thinks that it is not necessary to pay much attention to the different cultures for that when we look into them, we have already taken prejudice at the cultures.He lacks of the multi-cultural view. We can see it from his diary: “After all, we all live in the same country. Most of us speak the same language, and those who don’t have the chance to learn English in school. Most of us dress the same, bathe every day, and enjoy the same foods and entertainment and comforts.” Culture relates to many fields such as economy, police, psychology, etc. it arranges widely. What we see in daily time is only the surface. The culture that we learn is much deeper.2. Answer 1: yes. Firstly, we are taking our own thought when we are studying a culture. We might think in our thought under our own culture. In this way, what we have study lacks of justice. Secondly, we can not actually enter into a culture. The spirit of every culture is deep. They are accumulated for thousand years or at least hundreds of years.Answer 2: no. firstly, multi-culture is what we have to face and study for the globalization. With the development of the human beings, communication is what we need every day. If we do not understand other culture but ourselves, we can not get a good understanding one another. Secondly, although what we learned about other culture is not accurate, we are trying our best. We might do not touch the deep of a culture, but we are trying. And this is necessary for the development of our human beings.。
