Cultural Awareness and Empathy

Literature Opens Minds

Reading literature from different times and places introduces you to new cultures, beliefs, and experiences. It challenges stereotypes and builds empathy.

How It Works

  • Walk in Others’ Shoes: Imagine the world as someone else sees it.
  • Understand History: See how events shaped people’s lives and ideas.
  • Challenge Assumptions: Question what you think you know.

By meeting characters from faraway lands or past centuries, you become more open-minded and understanding—skills that matter in our global world.

Examples

  • Gaining insight into Victorian society by reading Charles Dickens.

  • Understanding colonialism’s impact through Chinua Achebe’s 'Things Fall Apart.'
