Culture in my opinion are customs and beliefs that are practiced by individuals that slowly changes through assimilation from  generation to generations either through language, food, dress music etc.  According to the article, Understanding Culture culture is defined as The system of shared beliefs, values, customs, behaviors, and artifacts that the members of society use to interact with their world and with one another. Culture is a combination of thoughts, feelings, attitudes, beliefs, values, and behavior patterns that are shared by racial, ethnic, religious, or social groups of people.

Ensuring that students in urban schools have

prepared, thoughtful and culturally responsive

teachers is essential to building a system that

will work today, tomorrow and for the

foreseeable future.  Urban students need urban

educators who understand how to link school

curriculum to life success.  An important part of

this effort is to acknowledge that students of

color and ethnic diversity see few role models in

schools, hear an unfamiliar language touted as

superior to theirs, and feel that many of the

lessons of school diminish and do not

acknowledge contributions from their heritage.  This is what Freire, P. (1996). Pedagogy of the

oppressed (revised), Chap. 2, pp. 71-86. refer to as the Problem-posing education bases itself on creativity and stimulates true reflection and action upon reality.

is related to the article Profoundly Multicultural Questions A kind of  culturally responsive pedagogy is founded on the notion that—rather than deficits—students' backgrounds are assets that students can and should use in the service of their learning and that teachers of all backgrounds should develop the skills to teach diverse students effectively.

Beautiful to me means 'pleasing to the eye'. The concept of Beauty differs to individuals. Since I was born I have been trained to believe by society that the beauty of a woman would take on the white race features, blond hair, thin lips, white skin and this is mirrored in my Jamaican culture by many to come close to this beauty. I have seen women and men bleach their skin, thinking that this would be pleasing to society. That was old thoughts of beauty, new thought of beauty to me embodies every aspect of my mother, very beautiful, dark chocolate skin, dark brown eyes, wide hips, asymmetrical shaped body and beautiful white teeth. Her constant loving personality for the community is beautiful a contrast to societal standards.
