The guiding theme of this chapter follows David Hume's split between facts (is) and values (ought). A program of analytical investigation is described, its purpose to allow gifted minds to see how values differ between and among cultures, especially mainstream American values in relation to selected non-American values. The argument is that if this program is followed, students will develop receptive dispositions - encompassing recognition, understanding, and appreciation - toward ethical values differing from their own. If acted upon, these dispositions enhance the tendency to accommodate, rather than be threatened by, culturally diverse values. © 2009 Springer-Verlag US.
