An
instructor that I talked to at my son’s high school stated that culture to him is any and everything in one’s universe. Words, reactions, beliefs, space. Culture
involves everything we encounter from day to day. Diversity involves components
of our personal attributes, culture, character, and our background.
A sorority
student that I had a conversation with this week defined culture as a
connection between individuals and social constructions. An establishment of
values, rules, goals, and beliefs. She described diversity as a uniqueness of
people.
Aspects
of culture such as belief, values, goals, and diversity as being unique that I studied in this course was included in
the answers I received.
As I think about other people’s definitions of culture and
diversity, I realize that everyone has different views of culture and
diversity. This lead me to believe that one’s meaning of culture and diversity
can be described at any given time.
I also found it interesting that everyone included different meanings of culture and diversity yet they all contained similarities as well. I guess that is why culture and diversity are such broad topics that one can study over and over again, because they are defined differently by each person.
ReplyDeleteI came to the conclusion of the same realization that everyone share different views of culture and diversity. I believe it is related to how we view the world and there is no set definition. I found it unique to learn others views this week!
ReplyDeleteLooking at and listening to what culture means to people almost make me believe that even though we are different in many ways we are still very similar in lots of ways to. They all mostly believe that culture is the way we are raised and diversity is how we are different.
