Edit
I teach two different kinds of students: those on a path to post-secondary learning through college or technical school and those on a path to a career following high school. Our school population is small in size and is in a rural community. Students' exposure to varieties of cultures and customs is limited to their small circles of family and friends in the area. They possess the desire to learn of and associate with others but often lack the means to travel past the closest city fifteen minutes away. In order for my students to broaden their knowledge and open their minds to the world that is out there waiting for them, it would be necessary and easier to bring that world to them. Slight variations in culture such as dress and dialect would not seem so alien to them if they were to experience the lives of "outsiders" more often. The small world in which they exist could easily grow larger and less cut-off through tools such as computers with Internet access.
