Question

How does education transmit culture through canalization?

Expert Solution
Introduction

The canalization principle describes the reduction of phenotypic sensitivity or variation in some genotypes compared to other genotypes reacting with mutations or changes in the setting.

The variational trait of genotypes is canalization. It includes a decreased capacity or propensity of the phenotype to vary in response to genetic or environmental modifications caused by the genotype.

Explanation

As a method of inclusive education

Suppose schools want to play the role of trans in our society and of all student communities. In that case, school curricula reflect their students' cultural heterogeneity—multicultural schooling used to transmit culture.

Multicultural education is a mechanism that connects people to the complex circumstances that exist in a society and the interaction between this diversity and the world. Diversity encompasses cultures of cultural, racial minorities and religious communities, and separate sexes.

Exposure to diversity is dependent on the fact that all people in one Group have the choice and the desire to foster and preserve one or more communities, i.e., religious structures, lifestyles, symbols. Moreover, as individuals in society, it is their responsibility to contribute and maintain a civilization universal to those who live in the particular society.

When children are born, Canalisation begins, when their parents steer their children into the right things that their parents enjoy and do not like to please and complement their sex.
