Developing awareness of cultural diversity and equity issues
//Purpose:// To increase awareness and sensitivity to others. It is important for people to be aware of their surroundings so as not to offend anyone by making inappropriate remarks regarding religion, sexual orientation or sexual discrimination.  //**How can it help the kids be better in the work place?**// //We know that there are certain behaviors that are accepted in the workplace as well as behaviors that are frowned upon. Often people especially students will make jokes or comments and not realize they can be taken as offensive.// Such as: "that's gay, that's retarded//, you're a fag, that's a man's job, Why can't you work a Saturday or work late on Fridays?"//

**Graphics- Time line for this section, 1.5 class periods.** //I do try and do these on Wednesdays so if we run over we can use a portion of the next class period.// For me this is an on-going thing. //We discuss these issues at least once a week for one reason or another.//

**Activity 1**  I introduce the material by reading it over and I then ask if anyone has any special traditions that they do in their families. I have them interview each other in the class and write down what their friends do and compare it to what they do.

**Activity 2** **& 3**  I have the students answer the questions on page 36 and fill out the chart on page 37, we discuss them after. I try to focus on what they would encounter in the work place. When we have finished the discussion I have them write about what they have learned and if what they have learned changed their opinion.

**Activity 4**  I again have the students answer the questions and we discus the different laws that they fall under. Do they think it is fair?

**Activity 5**  We typically skip this one. none //Optional:// comment for page history
