Perspectives on Diversity and Culture

Which aspects of culture and diversity that I have studied in this course are included in the answers I received—and what are some examples?

I found that the answer for culture is primarily the same for all three individuals. A system of morals, values beliefs that describes a person or family. In this class and previous classes we learned that culture can range from array of things such as career, clothing, schools, neighborhoods anything that can define an individual. One person quoted a scripture that concluded her answer.

Unity in the midst of diversity and when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place Acts 2:1. I think that a persons background and the way they were raised depicts their answers.

Which aspects have been omitted—and what are some examples of such omission?
I chose to omit some remarks about racism. Some answers were very racial and I didn't fully agree with the answer. Even though some of the information provided from the individual was truthful. I think that also overlooking and omitting information is apart of our culture well. Scotomas are things that we overlook everyday but to others they notice particular things.

In what ways has thinking about other people’s definitions of culture and diversity influenced my own thinking about these topics?

I am more observant of my surroundings and how I view others and their cultural make up. I think the older I get the more resistant  I get to defining diversity. I look at everyone through a equal lens we might be from different backgrounds but we are all here for a reason. We all have a mission and definition of life.
