Diversity and Culture
The first person I
asked said that culture was the way they were raised. They said that diversity
was the differences in individuals. The person that gave this answer was a
male. The second person I asked said that culture was your surroundings and beliefs,
not necessarily having anything to do with ancestry because people move to
different countries all the time and they may adopt another culture. They also
said that diversity was anything that was different to any individual person.
The third person said that culture was their values, beliefs and traditions.
They said that diversity to them meant differences in values, beliefs, and
traditions.
Some of the aspects of
culture and diversity that I have studied were included in some of the answers.
Many of the answers included value, traditions, beliefs and differences were
included, but many aspects were not included such as; responsibilities,
parenting styles, roles, and more.
In conclusion, the
people that I asked offered simple definitions but many of the aspects of “deep
culture” were included in the very short answers. Many of the “surface culture”
aspects were not mentioned. I especially liked the answer that mentioned that
sometimes your culture will change and it does not always involve ancestry.
Michele, I also like the answer that culture can change which is true. As time passes and we learn more and are exposed to more, our values and attitudes and beliefs can be subject to change. It is not always cast in stone.
