Explanation:

Native American: They have contributed to society as it is constituted today, since they thought the settlers from Great Britain how to live in that natural environment, how to find food, how to use the materials around and how to take care of the place, besides while sharing the settlers could see how to live in society taking into account the different cultures and ways of life.

African-Americans: contributed in great manner to the economical development of the country. Since they were brought to America due to slavery purposes, they learnt very well how to work for the benefit of society. Besides, they also show a significant difference in terms of race and customs, which offered a great diversity across the nation. Even though, it has been hard for society to accept those differences across time, nowadays, the United States has a diversity not only in races, but also in nationalities all over the world that have the same rights and therefore they have to be respected and treated as human beings, which can be considered a great teaching experience.

Women: American society has been characterized by including women in all the aspects in society, treating them in an equal way. Compared to other nations the United States is a country in which women are treated as citizens of the nation, which is really positive because it does not constitute discrimination due to gender.

Children: As it should be considered in all societies, children are the most important part in a nation, since they are the promise of the next generations. From the colonial times the role of children in society has changed especially in terms of education and work for children. In colonial times, children normally helped with the work at home starting at the age of 7-8 years old after school. Education at that time was mainly based in religious and tasks based in memory skills. Nowadays, education is the most important tool for the development in children, using different pedagogical skills that take into account their learning styles and kinds of intelligences for a better understanding and motivation for reasonable and critical skills development.
