The United States of America is home to a very diverse population made up of people
from many different backgrounds. The first two maps and data below (United States Census,
2010) show us how the population is divided by “race” and how the population of the country
is growing more and more diverse.
This means that within the American society, people interact with individuals from all over
the world in their daily lives. Even though this phenomenon is happening on a national basis,
the third map below (Kaiser Family Foundation, 2016) shows that some states like California
are more diversely concerned than others. With 39% of white people, California is the 3rd
state after District of Columbia (37%) and Hawaii (19%) that has less white people than the
rest of its culturally diverse population. More precisely, it is estimated that 39% of the
population in California is White, 5% is Black, 38% is Hispanic, 15% is Asian, 1% is
American Indian or Alaskan Native, and 2% have two or more races. The same source shows
that on a national basis, about 62% of the population is White, 12% is Black, 18% is Hispanic,
6% is Asian, 1% is American Indian or Alaskan Native, and 2% have to or more races. With
these figures based on the National Census in hand, California has even more cultural
diversity than the USA as a whole.
In order to promote a peaceful and cooperative society, it is thus of a great importance that
people living in the USA are able to acknowledge and appreciate this melting-pot, starting at a
young age with children in schools. In order to do so, a special educational program
supporting the one already existing in most States should have a special focus on the cultures
from which students’ families are derived and that surround them. [-]
