Analyzing perspectives and diversity, we humans tend to do it all the time. I find that I notice diversity in my daily life; I see it when I'm at the grocery store, the mall and elsewhere. People may say they don't see diversity, but I believe they are lying because these days there are many different races, cultures, and ethnicities. When it comes to examining perspective and diversity in the children's book market, many studies have proven that this happens in approx. 90 percent of children's books today, in one way or another. I found through my research that a great book to highlight this is The Littlest Knight by Carol Moore. In this book by Carol Moore, it is told how a blacksmith admires a princess. The catch is that the princess has no right to look down on the people below here or those whose status is lower than her. The blacksmith is therefore content to admire the princess from afar. To me this shows a blatant sign of prejudice because the author says that the blacksmith will basically never have any luck with the princess because he is of a lower class. It really depends on how culture has been defined in past generations. This really trickles down to the children because what they read is what they are taught. If we teach them that you can look at others who are not in your wealth class or any other class, then there is no diversity. The other part that plays a major role in this passage is discrimination: “Unfair or inappropriate treatment of people based on their membership in a group.” (Beebe, Beebe and Redmond Pg. 92) In readings on gender "Socially learned and reinforced characteristics that include the biological and psychological sex of the individual...... middle of paper ...... in their learning stereotypes and things that we, as parents, should not want to teach them. This is why, as a single parent, I choose to let my child read these books, but in doing so, I tell him the things that are wrong and try to teach him the right things. I think if we as a whole society could turn this negative into a positive, it wouldn't be so bad. I think for now, while I will choose to stay the course I'm on, it seems to be working. I will refuse to let my child become racist or biased in any way. I know he will have his opinions, which are good, but in the long run he will know right from wrong.
