Science across cultures” is related to the broad question of whether science is unique and universal. Science can be understood as the paths taken by different civilizations to find answers to help them face concrete problems. There are many examples from different ancient societies that show how they learned about nature and how their observations of nature helped them to control certain environmental process in order to produce food or avoid disaster. Science across cultures also helps minority students who may ignore or forget their cultural background and grow up in a context of undervaluing cultural diversity. Science across cultures also could be the possibility of a multicultural dialogue for a sustainable future
