Newspaper article
This is the translation of a newspaper article. Please, help me!Today, phenomena such as racial prejudice, religious intolerance and discrimination against the disabled are very common and have destructive effects on both the intolerant person and on the victim. Therefore, it is essential that individuals are, from an early age, educated by both parents and teachers to think of others as individuals and not as members of particular groups. In this way, the school lays the groundwork for the development of a mentality open to diversity, of any kind whatsoever.
The function of the school is not only to transmit knowledge , but also to create favorable conditions for the formation of citizens and the creation of a civil consciousness. Individuals can feel part of the same community on the basis of a mutually agreed upon set of rules, principles, and cohabitation criteria. The teacher has to give to his or her students a frame of reference inside which they can define their rules of citizenship. The teacher has to communicate the principles on which democracy is founded and through which they can become free people. When we lose the right to be different, we lose the right to be free.
So, it is essential to enact measures protecting children and their families and and all immigrants. Therefore, there must be cultural mediators that can communicate with immigrant children's parents and give them valuable assistance.
Additional strategies that can be used to facilitate the full school and social integration of immigrants minors include: after-school activities, creative workshop which teach the correct use of the Italian language, and activities that stimulate children's various forms of expression.
Encounters with other cultures cause individuals to review their concept of identity and to consider more and more culture as a product of trade and thus not conflict-free. It is challenging and if individuals are able to deal with it, they can achieve enriched new interpretations of unknown aspects of reality.
