16、t their learning motivation, compared to that of the Anglo majority?Native American students, whether young or old, learn by applying principles and skills to their daily lives. In order for these students to learn a skill, or subject, they must first understand how it relates to their everyday life

17、, and how it can help them to stay upon a strong spiritual path. Learning for Native American students, is not motivated by better grades, or awards, but by the success that it will afford them in future, so when learning environment do not address, or even take into consideration, the cultural, and

18、 spiritual differences of the Native American students, future success in life becomes an elusive and unattainable goal.

While Tuba City High School, which addresses rural, reservation, and isolated students, has been quite successful in raising test scores, graduating more students, keeping substance abuse and teen pregnan

24、cy low, it has not provided the Native American youth an opportunity to learn and interact with the white culture that surrounds them. But what of the urban Native American students?

32、of etiquette. In a prosperous community, on the other hand, polite society soon absorbs the newly rich, and in England there has never been any shortage of books on etiquette for teaching them the manners appropriate to their new way of life.Every code of etiquette has contained three elements: basi

33、c moral duties; practical rules which promote efficiency; and artificial, optional graces such as formal compliments to, say, women on their beauty or superiors on their generosity and importance.In the first category are consideration for the weak and respect for age. Among the ancient Egyptians th

34、e young always stood in the presence of older people. Among the Mponguwe of Tanzania, the young men bow as they pass the huts of the elders. In England, until about a century ago, young children did not sit in their parents presence without asking permission.Practical rules are helpful in such ordin

38、h emphasized the virtue and gentleness of women and demanded that a knight should profess a pure and dedicated love to a lady who would be his inspiration, and to whom he would dedicate his valiant deeds, though he would never come physically close to her. This was the introduction of the concept of

39、 romantic love, which was to influence literature for many hundreds of years and which still lives on in a debased form in simple popular songs and cheap novels today.In Renaissance Italy too, in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, a wealthy and leisured society developed an extremely complex co

40、de of manners, but the rules of behavior of fashionable society had little influence on the daily life of the lower classes. Indeed many of the rules, such as how to enter a banquet room, or how to use a sword or handkerchief for ceremonial purposes, were irrelevant to the way of life of the average

41、 working man, who spent most of his life outdoors or in his own poor hut and most probably did not have a handkerchief, certainly not a sword, to his name.Yet the essential basis of all good manners does not vary. Consideration for the old and weak and the avoidance of harming or giving unnecessary

42、offence to others is a feature of all societies everywhere and at all levels from the highest to the lowest.
