CISC 8101 - RESEARCH AND COMMUNITY INFORMED PRACTICE Research and Community Informed Practice Assessment 1 - G Harris 21st century skills are crucial for our children to acquire in order for them to actively participate in society as adults (ITL research, 2012).

How can we educate children so that they will be able to live their lives and experience success and happiness, while also having the skills to manage adversity? This should be a guiding question when looking at education.  Nationality Versus Culture Nationality is not a very meaningful concept. Culture is much more significant. “It is remarkable how fast and how effectively you can construct a nationality with a flag, a few speeches, and a national anthem.” (Taleb, 2008).
