The concept of diversity encompasses acceptance and respect. It means understanding that each individual is unique, and recognizing our individual differences. These can be along the dimensions of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, sociology-economic status, age, physical abilities, religious beliefs, political beliefs, or other ideologies. It is the exploration of these differences in a safe, positive, and nurturing environment. It is about understanding each other and moving beyond simple tolerance to embracing and celebrating the rich dimensions of diversity contained within each individual.
The truth of the matter is that diversity effects each one of us. The logic to diversity is how you handle it, either in a positive aspect or negative aspect, entirely up to you. The world that we all are born into is a diverse world, that’s what make it so unique.
One dictionary says it like this,”diversity is the condition of having or being composed of differing elements”. Wow when you see it put in those terms then you can relate to the one key word in that sentence, differing, which also means different. How many of us are different, rather its culture, race, or religion preference. That’s the way life is, we either adjust or get left behind because this world is always going to have differences and there will always be diversity!
