WEEK 2

Perspectives on Diversity and Culture

I talked to three different friends and below I will share their definitions on culture and diversity.

Kendri McCracken is a 36 year old female, she shared her views about culture and diversity.  She says, “Culture is the way you look at life and how you live your life according to yourself and others around you, it is your beliefs, religion, language, gender, etc.  Diversity is the inclusion of all races and each individual working together to form groups of people.”

Ronrico Green is a 30 year old male that will share his beliefs on culture and diversity. He says, “Culture is morals guidelines and ways in which you were taught as a child and even ways in which you have developed as an adult. It is not just race but it is everything that makes you the person you are.” “Diversity is the individual make ups that are in a common place like work or school.”

Eric Small is a 18 year old male that will share his thoughts on culture and diversity. He says, “Culture is your language, beliefs, morals, rules, food, etc. It is everything that makes you who you are and where you came from.” “Diversity is sharing who you are with others that are different in any way. It is getting to know others.”

Each person had their own definition but they said similar things. They talked about culture as if they are taking this course with me. Their views on diversity are about the same as each other.  I really enjoyed talking to different people about their thoughts and beliefs on their definitions of culture and diversity.
