Description / Descripción
The following thesis will give support to the importance of using critical thinking in the classroom and to foster tolerance and respect towards minorities or other groups. Teachers and institutions can make a huge difference regarding the openess and awareness about diversity the students will achieve in the near future. A good way to achieve this goal is to work with thinking routines (Project Zero) to improve performance and understanding.
I will also state the consequences of having a limited perspective instead of a universal one as mindfulness involves acceptance without judging but paying attention to thoughts and feelings from others as well as ours.
