sond analysis

All Kinds of Kinds, by Maranda Lambert is a song that I feel encourages individuality and diversity. It supports the idea of being different from everybody else in the world because, "ever since the beginning, to keep the world spinning, it takes all kinds of kinds." Without the ideas and cultures that seperate individuals, the world would not have the abilitiy to grow into a successful society. That is why it is important to encourage and support learning diversity into the classroom. In Precious Children: Diversity in the Classroom, the article highlights the improtance of reaching out to younger children because it is critical to help them develop a positive self-image and grow to respect and appriciate the differences in their peers. Any form of bias regarding race, gender, social class, or disability creates a serious obsticle that prevents children from a healthy development. In order to prevent negativity from ever coming into the classroom, parents and teachers can suppport diversity by counteracting any bias. This includes talking positively about anyones differences, show no bias to friends, teachers, or anyone in the community, provide children with opportunities to be introduced to differences through class activities, and remind them that everything they say or think is important. 2nd song analysis - Imagine, by John Lennon is a song that we feel supports diversity in the classroom. Through out the lyrics, Lennon concentrates on all the factors in the world that causes conflict. However, these factors are only a product of diversity, and if individuals would understand and support one another, there would be no need for that type of conflict or violence. That is why it is important to support diversity in the classroom. What many people don't understand is that the differences in individuals are what make the world unique. It also provides many different perspectives that help the world advance to a successful place. In Precious Children: Diversity in the classroom, It highlights the importance of understanding diversity at a young age because without acceptance, children will face many obsticales that will prevent them from ever moving forward. The lyrics to imagine, really help listeners visualize this aspect because the song shows what will happen of we don't support diversity.
