Rationale
To be responsible citizens of the 21st century, our students must be aware of the cultures and events around the world. They must understand that these cultures and events effect their lives in many ways-both negatively and positively. The interconnectedness of peoples creates a need for a global awareness that can enable the people of the earth to live cooperatively and peacefully.
