Literature

Although I think it is definitely necessary to present children literature of all kinds at a young age, I think that children also need to learn certain things through experience. There are specific learning curves in education with science or math, but the dynamics of racial and social issues are much more complex than school work. At the same time, kids learn too much from misguided television networks that emphasize stereotypes, especially news channels that focus on the negative attributes of specific racial groups. I certainly don't think there are any right answers in regard to this question, but I do believe changing society as a whole can be the only way to cure such problems, and obviously we are decades away from there. In the meantime, however, I think more focus needs to be paid to addressing racial/social conflicts at an early age.
