What is Culture and Diversity

Asking several people about culture and diversity:
- 2 African American Male (43 and 32)
- 2 African American Females (39, and 52)



these are some of the answers I got:

Culture:
Everything
How you act
How you were raised
Your process of thinking
Where you were from
What you like and dislike
Your values/morals
Your belief system

Diversity:
Your race
Your gender
Your sexual preference
Embracing and respecting another person's background, culture, and their way of thinking


The majority of the answers that I received have been listed in a portion of our reading assignments.  The major omission that I realized (in diversity and culture)  is the role or identity that a person has.  After reading this week's assignment I can see how a role/identity is assigned to a person.  Even throughout my childhood, I can see how I was assigned or assumed roles subconsciously.  It is something that naturally happens.  This is a direct affect of culture and the impact that it has on a person's thought process.

After reading about culture and diversity and hearing other people's definition, I realize how why definition has changed through education.  I have been enlightened by my reading and conversations with other classmates.  This class has changed my outlook on a variety of topics involved within culture and how to acknowledge and respect others.
