Written Assignment 2: Challenging Student Beliefs Discussing Values I currently work with high school students and topics regarding personal values come up quite frequently. My students like to know about college, of course, but sometimes questions of politics or other related, touchy subjects arise.

However, while this may hold true, there are factors that can easily disregard and usurp culture from fully monopolizing one’s mindset. For example, Thomas Jefferson high school is a huge blend of cultural groups. There is little to no disparity, and all are seen unique, yet still the same as their peers. One’s experiences and culture both partially, whether equally or not, affect their views on the world.…

Culture is an extremely complex topic since it cannot be defined in a single definition and in general, culture can be termed as “a set of socially constructed meanings that shape the behaviour of people in a particular society” (Francesco & Gold 2005, p. 18).
