This week I asked my friends and family about their definition of culture and diversity. It's interesting to hear how the definitions are similar and different. Below I summarized their definitions.
Their definition of culture
Culture: Is the combination of things you value, things
related to your identity, things that make you part of a group of people. It
doesn’t have to be isolated.
Their definition of diversity
Diversity: Accepting the
uniqueness of others and embracing it.
Then reflect on the answers you received
and ask yourself:
Which aspects of culture and diversity
that I have studied in this course are included in the answers I received—and
what are some examples?
The aspect of feeling accepted within a group and values are
what’s included in the responses I got.
Which aspects have been omitted—and
what are some examples of such omission?
Religion, Traditions and
Socioeconomic Status are some of the things that were omitted from the
responses. These aspects play a major role in culture and diversity because it’s
what people in different groups relate to and it’s something they value.
In what ways has thinking about other
people’s definitions of culture and diversity influenced my own thinking about
these topics?
Listening to the definitions of
others didn’t have much influence on me I pretty much learned that their views
are somewhat similar to mine.
