| Summary: | The problem of this study was to provide a theoretical model for crosscultural and interdisciplinary teaching in the humanities to help lead students toward a greater understanding and appreciation of cultures different from their own and to help lessen potential conflicts based upon such differences. Intended for teachers of community college students, the theoretical model might be useful in teaching in four-year institutions. It was designed to allow students to examine together the content from several disciplines in the humanities in terms of being representative of differing cultures. The pilot model for the theoretical model was a comparative study of the Chinese bandit novel and the American gangster film, chosen as representing two extremes in cultural polarity and found to share a number of parallels. It was assumed that if these two very unlike cultures produced art forms sharing this number of similarities, it should be possible to find similarities between the culture elements of cultures generally considered less different from one another than these two. The method of developing instructional procedures and techniques in utilizing the theoretical model was demonstrated by use of the content of other disciplines chosen to represent other cultures. It was concluded that the theoretical model can be applied in teaching in the humanities. It is hoped that more studies of this kind can help in resolving potential cultural conflicts. | |
