*Culture is values and beliefs shared by a common group of people. Religion, how a person is raised, food you eat and clothes you wear.
Diversity is going against the standard norms of society.
*Things passed down from ancestors;nationality; traditions
Diversity is being divided into groups according to age or race.
*Knowledge gained from different educational experiences, art; shared beliefs.
Diversity is a variety of people and opinions.
The answer I received reflect on many of the different aspects of diversity and culture such as beliefs, values, traditions and experiences and knowledge gain from ancestors. The answer also reflect of what makes people diverse, such as race, age and different standards.
A wide range of aspects were covered even religion, clothes that people wear and the food people eat.
Thinking about other people's definitions of diversity and culture has influenced my thinking of just how the they are both defined differently by different people , but generally meaning the same thing. People are different in how they look, beliefs, etc. so the definitions of culture and diversity are also different.
I like how diverse your definitions on diversity were. All of mine dealt with having more than one culture. Yet, your definitions really touched on how diversity can be so much more than just culture. I agree with you - despite all of the different meanings people come up with concerning culture and diversity most people mean the same thing.

Wanda,
ReplyDeleteYour comment regarding things passed down further illustrate the concept of 'deep culture' in the text. Historical events and rich tradtions further define who we are as individuals and ehnace us culturally. There are distinct over arching themes in the repsonses that I am reading. I hope that you are well this semester.
