1st friend: Her definition of diversity is according
to multiple people in the classroom such Hispanic, American, Koran, Russian. She label things in her class in their
language and try to learn at least three words in their language.
Her definition of culture is the quality within you. Who you are.
What you believe. For example, African
raise their child differently by not letting them watch TV and putting
education first.
2nd friend: Her definition of diversity is multiple of
amount or number of choices. A lot of
different things you can choose just a number of things.
Her definition of culture is your up bring, heritage, and
family bonds.
3rd family member: Her definition of culture is people,
families, parties, food, and clothes.
Her definition of diversity of is separately, different, and
color, race, belief.
The answers I received are somethings I have learned in this course such as, heritage, color, beliefs, language, food, and clothes.
I think my friends and my one family member hit all the aspect of culture and diversity. They define both words well enough to have an understanding of the words.
Viewing my friends and family member definition of diversity and culture has not influence my own thinking on these topics. My personal definition diversity and culture reflect their definition.
My family and co-workers definitions were similar to yours. I also felt like their definitions and thoughts had no influence on how I viewed culture and diversity.
ReplyDeleteI think everybody has ideas about culture and diversity. It is obviously who we are, what we believe, our upbringing, heritage and family bonds as it has been rightly said. One thing that has been revealed as I read your post and several others is that many people think on the surface culture only. It takes a lot of understanding to look deeply into the unseen parts of others to see their culture. This course has really helped me to learn to look deeply into the lives of others to understand them more and make me more culturally sensitive.
