| Diversity:
In Our International Interest
Jenkins, Karen

“Jenkins conveys that it is important to stress to students that
the diverse population of the US is the most valuable asset that
drives it economically, socially and culturally and that diversity
is indeed the country's international interest. She opines that
as a superpower, the greatest challenge facing the US is not the
ability to deploy an overwhelming military force, but to be an example
of how diverse cultures can live together peacefully.” This article
is suitable reading material for German students (11th to 13th grade)
and can be used as a basis to discuss the assets of diversity. Karen
Jenkins is former president of Brethren Colleges Abroad and an international
education consultant.
