Cultural Literacy
What skills do we need to read a changing world?
Our identities comprise different senses of belonging to different groups at different times. These are the cultures of which we are all a part, and our world is one of many cultures. The problem is that there is a real lack in our skills to read other cultures. One result is that our newspapers, media and websites carry numeorus stories about hostility between people, breeding a cycle of fear, insecurity and ultimately violence and prejudice. To overcome this, we need a new skill: cultural literacy.
