Using+Technology+to+Affirm+Diversity

Technology can be used to affirm diversity by exploring written material, video material, or images of another culture. By researching another culture we learn of their traditions, religions, beliefs and ways of life. And, most importantly, for any who may never physically "enter" another culture, they still can communicate with them or learn of them by using technology as the connection to them. YouTube grants both video and audio, and many individuals from cultures use Youtube as their means of revealing themselves to the world. I have seen on Youtube videos of Native American cultures practicing their rituals, which often consist of heavy drums with a beautiful dance and music that they sing from their soul. Below is a video which gives a perfet example of how anyone can enter another culture by using technology as their doorway.
