in the culture. This separation isn?t necessary and really shouldn?t be there when actually taking an in-depth look at a culture. I agree with Begler that this is an unnecessary division and shouldn?t be there for obvious reasons, such as a culture involves all aspects both the little and the big culture. I think that it is important for teachers to realize this point before any attempt is made to engage students in the project of earning about culture. As a whole I would have to say that this was a very interesting article that really sparked my interest in the culture aspect of my particular content area. I always assumed that culture would be part of most units but no I can see where with the right questions and the right modeling a culture can drive virtually any unit. Again

I would like to reiterate the importance of making culture an important part of every students education. With so many cultures existing and changing in the USA alone it is hard to believe that the citizens will be able to peacefully coexist with out a basic understanding of culture differences. That what Begler?s method, as well as the general teaching of culture does, they open up individuals to be more receptive of others, making the individuals stronger within their own culture as well as amongst other cultures.
