Definition of Diversity & Culture:
When talking to my friends and family members. They given me their definition of Diversity and Culture:
Ann live here in United State now but was raised in Vietnam. Ann, defines culture as being part of our life and that family and friends make up your culture. She says its the way we live. She also defined diversity as being different. It is something we learn to accept about each individual. "I totally love her answers"

This is my husband Ahmed and he was born in Egypt also and also raised in Egypt went to college in Alexandria and Rutgers university. He defines culture as being part of a individual life and the people and things that surround that individual. He also says culture help become who we are today. diversity he defines as being able to accept individual and their culture. Diversity is being different..JPG "Talking to Erica Rivera about culture and diversity and asking her to difine what it means")
Taking to Erica Rivera and asking her to defined culture and diversity. She stated Culture is family and where you are brought up and Diversity is different people. Erica was raised in the United States but her family is from Puerto Rabbi Miller: No Picture (Sorry) He refuse a picture taken.
Culture is family and everything surround you including your friends
Diversity: is changes and being able to accept it.
Dr. Todd: No Picture (Sorry) ?
Culture: something we are born with and we surround ourselves with everyday
Diversity: is be different or having something different.
I found through-out many conversation with my friends and family members diversity and culture seem to be on the same aspect of our course reading. For example diversity is being able to accept individual who may look or act different and my friend and others stated the same thing. They also talked about how culture is based on family and in our course reading it talked about family and environment.
However, when you talk about omitted and what part, I love how being part of a person or culture is never mention and how we lived. Some times we forget that how we live is the key to our culture because sometime it not necessary where we live at.
I found that other people definition of culture and diversity influence me by their true meaning and what they may feel culture and diversity really means.
Hi Darrell,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your post. The definitions you have show culture and diversity are similar to people from different parts of the world.
Hi Darrell,
ReplyDeleteI liked this: "Diversity: is changes and being able to accept it." When a person has something about them that is different, not only do we want the world to accept and support that person and his/her differences, but we want the person themselves to accept themselves. That can be so, so hard! I have a gay son and a straight son, and my gay son did not accept himself for many years.
Also, thank you for posting pictures! They are great and it is wonderful to see you and your family/friends.

Darrell,
ReplyDeleteYour post was great! I can tell all the people who contributed to your blog, have a special place in your heart and life. Diversity is a term that many people seem to understand. The differences between will hopefully show people how to accept others as well as becoming familiar with their individual culture.
I think its awesome that you included pictures! It's so awesome to see the many walks of life from so many people in your life. It's even more cool that the definitions you received from your friends coincide with what we are learning in the class.
