The looter nobles planned to make a mint by driving the cost of gold into the stratosphere, and to draw it off, they manufactured a system of defilement that stretched out from Wall Street and the New York City government the distance to the group of President Ulysses S.

  • Example Of Tokenism In Children

    200 Words  | 1 Pages

It occurs when cultural diversity and differences are not affirmed and embedded in everyday practices in the program. It is tokenistic, for example, to focus on differences by having displays of cultural artefacts from other countries if you don’t ensure they are evident in everyday practice and used by children in their learning experiences. Australian Government (2010), states that tokenism can be avoided in an early childhood setting by not focusing on a specific culture or a child’s specific culture. For example when working with a group of children there may be a number of children from a variety of backgrounds and cultures.
