the three people which ive spoken with all revolve their diversity around ethnicity or religion. it is interesting that their culture definitions are specific to religion, versus their diversity relates to ethnicity. In this course, we have greatly expanded on the ways which diversity and culture can be defined. although one of the people i spoke with is handicapped, this did not come up in the conversation concerning diversity, which it plays a huge role in her life and she continuously advocates for disabled people.
Religion is part of diversity, but it is not one that I think of first when thinking of diversity. I am glad that it was mentioned.
ReplyDeleteI think it is interesting that the focus on culture and diversity was mainly on religion form the three people you spoke with. I think that this may be partly because the way people do things or view life is so ingrained in them that they do not stop to think about where they learned these ideas or behaviors or consider that it is has been learned from their culture so they only identify things that touch the surface of culture.
