A really interesting comparison
Beloit College has released what it calls a "Mindset List."
For the fifth year, Beloit College, the liberal arts college in Beloit, Wisconsin, is distributing the Mindset List to its faculty and staff as an indicator of the many ways in which entering 17 and 18 year-olds see the world differently from their professors, coaches and mentors. The list is a reminder that the world view of today's new college students is significantly different from the intellectual framework of those students who entered only a few years earlier. Beloit College Prof. Tom McBride, one of the list's creators, says "It is an alert for those of us who may be suffering from hardening of the references."
Check it out. Then compare it to Professor Kim's
Multicultural Mindset List. It's interesting to see how one's cultural filters determine what you see as a cultural filter.
