Abstract	By the year 2000, one in three persons in the United States will belong to a minority group. This booklet aims to help adult educators promote awareness, understanding, acceptance, and appreciation of the cultural diversity of the five major cultural groups in the United States: American Indians/Alaska Natives, Asians and Pacific Americans, Black/African Americans, Hispanic/Latino Americans, and White Americans. The booklet contains a section on the values and practices of each cultural group, including family, communication styles, view of the individual, social interaction, materialism and success, concept of time, concept of health, religion and spirituality, and volunteerism. The values discussed are traditional values and would apply to most, but not to all older people in a particular group. Suggestions on how to build bridges among individuals from different cultures are included in the booklet. Contains 16 references. (KC)
