Cross Cultural Teaching:
Cross-cultural teaching is teaching someone of a different culture that of their own culture or of a culture that one person wants to know.  I think that in learning about other cultures can only be effective if people are willing to put all of their biases aside and really embrace the spirituality of the traditions, and appreciate the culture for all that it is.  I think that everyone can learn a lot about themselves and their own culture just by looking at the cultures of others and what they mean to them.

Teaching Young Children Other Cultures:
It is very important to incorporate a variety of cultures when teaching young children because it helps them to understand that no matter what a person looks like or where they come from, even though they might be different form you, they are still the same.  Everyone is equal.  In learning this at a young age it eliminates biases against different cultures and makes it easier for everyone to live together.
