Perspective on Diversity and Culture-

I reached out to several individuals regarding their perspectives on Diversity:

My Dads statement:
Culture is a set of identifying traits, habits or principles used to set apart a group of individuals from others as unique.
Diversity on the other hand is those characteristic which establish differences between people when looking at the whole. 


A Caucasian former co-worker:
Culture is celebrating and learning about all walks of life and being enlightened.
Diversity is all different walks of life.


A cousin in California:
Culture is the collective traditions and practices observed on a regular basis by particular groups of people.
Diversity id different groups of people practicing different cultures but still interacting with each other and living within close proximity to each other.



I have learned that culture is every aspect of a group of people, the way we sleep, talk, care for our families and relate to each other and withing our group and what makes us comfortable. and I think that most of the people I asked that question to agreed with that definition. I think that they have omitted listing all the things that make up a person's culture, it is everything that a person does the way the dress, look, talk and the things they eat.
Reading things that other individuals think about the definitions just helps to see that everyone has a different idea of what it means because it means different things to everyone.
