A key part of learning about different people and things is knowing how to have a constructive discussion in a respectful way. The class establishes a set of rules for their discussion and then begins a conversation about a wide array of cultural issues or topics. Note: The lesson plan was written for an Australian audience, but it could be modified to fit any country or location.
