Abstract

The strategies for teaching about ethnic minority families must be based on ethical considerations. Students must be taught to develop a tolerant and sympathetic attitude toward the racially discriminated minority in the society. They must be made aware of the problems faced by the families and their impact on the society at large. The educators must first try to rid the students of their preconceived notions and prejudices before teaching them to seek commonalities between them and the segregated minority.
