I decided to speak to
three different people that came from different backgrounds. It was a bit shocking to hear that they
defined culture and diversity in the same way.
The first person is Vietnamese and she told me
that she saw culture as traditions and customs they live by, and diversity to
her was people from many different cultures.
The second person I asked he is from India and
he said that culture to him was values and traditions as well as language and
he described diversity as people from many different countries living in he
United States.
The third person I asked
she said it is my heritage and practices I am accustomed to, and diversity to
her was getting to know people from many different countries with their own set
of traditions.
As I think about how all
three people included the aspects I have studied in the course about how
culture and diversity are, no one mentioned anything close to what we have been
learning. I believe that peoples knowledge
about culture and diversity all seem to think alike.
The people I spoke to
really lack to mention what we have studied about culture and diversity entails,
socio-economics, demographics, roles, identity, and the qualities of individuals.
I believe that my
thinking about culture and diversity has want me to further learn and
understand how much deeper it is than just customs and values of people.
