Diversity is what makes each person or group people
different or unique.
I think that all the answers I got are aspects of culture
and diversity as studied in thus far in this course. An example of this would
be the way the second person answered what is culture. I feel this is exactly what we have been
studying about culture in the class so far.
I think specific examples of each have been omitted. For culture, I think mentioning that all
cultures are different and are sometimes not accepted is something worth
mentioning. Culture is the way people
form their lives but it was not said the importance that these aspects hold in
each person lives. For Diversity, I would say that saying it is something seen
everyday that makes us who we are was omitted in the description of it. I am glad to see that everyone I asked had
similar answers about culture and diversity and has an understanding of these
in today’s world. I would have liked to see more emphasis on the importance of
each as it applies to each person but did not see that.
Hi, Lynette.
ReplyDeleteCulture is sort of like air. We know that it's there and we know that we can't live without it - but we don't give it much thought. Breathing just happens. Culture is sort of like that. I think that may be why there wasn't as much emphasis on the importance of culture and diversity. It is something that just happens. People don't really spend much time thinking about why these things are important unless they are asked to.
Hi Lynette,
ReplyDeleteWe don't notice culture unless somehow things deviate from the norm or something changes. It is true that all cultures are different. The importance is that we recognize our similarities and differences, and value them with respect. No one culture is better than the next. We all can learn from each other.
