Is It Valuable to Learn About Other Cultures in The Classroom? 

               I believe it is valuable to learn about other cultures in the classroom because it gives students an idea about other religions around the world and the differences in others values. In Babies, we follow four parents raising their children from birth to one year old, all from different parts of the world. In this movie, we witness the different ways of raising the babies and the responsibilities these babies face at the same age. For example, the Namibian baby faced challenges that the American baby will  likely never have to face, such as drinking dirty water as a daily routine. We also see the Mongolian baby very happy and excited about playing with the paper towel, while the Japanese baby is frustrated and upset while surrounded by toys. This shows the difference of culture and value in these two scenes alone. The Mongolian baby doesn't know about these toys in Japan, so he makes fun with what he knows he has. Meanwhile, the Japanese baby is surrounded by toys and everything that should entertain her, yet she is still wanting more and is so obviously upset because she knows these toys exist, therefore she wants more.
