our students do need a more global perspective

The point that this next generation will need to think of themselves as part of the world, as opposed to a more narrow view, is one I can easily embrace.  As I read I kept trying to think of ways that I can help my students understand others better and thereby be more tolerant.  I already do some of that naturally because of the courses that I teach.  However, I would like to find ways to overtly teach a more global perspective.  I think one way for me to proceed is through teaching more about the cultural perspectives of the people who speak the specific language I am teaching  rather than addressing it on a broader level.  Next year I will try to focus more on the cultural aspect of my courses with the hope of helping the students embrace a more global perspective.
