Educators Quest to Confront the World of the Twenty-First Century.
Hunter, Eagan
NASSP Bulletin, v73 n514 p1-7 Feb 1989
Discusses three cultural categories studied by Margaret Mead: pre-figurative (slow-changing); cofigurative (moderately changing); and post-figurative (rapidly changing). Schools must help our young persons recognize different ways of life throughout the world. We can no longer assume that our own practices, beliefs, and standards are superior to those of other cultures. Includes four notes. (MLH)
