Perspectives on Diversity and Culture

My husband thoughts on culture and diversity is the roots of where you come from, learning from diversity (other people as well). Diversity means learning from other culture. Learning from others makes you a stronger person.


My brother-in-law thought on culture and diversity is culture meaning family backgrounds, customs. For example, Mexicans celebrate the day of the dead, where they remember the loves, family history and past generations. His definition of diversity is do not know the meaning.

My best friend definition of culture and diversity is the quality of understanding a person’s belief, values, ideas, family background, religion, customs that make us different from others. Diversity means understanding and respecting different people such as their gender, race, age ethnicity just to name a few.

With their regards to culture and diversity, I can’t help but agree. Each one of them gave me their personal definition of both words and I respect and understand their meaning of culture and diversity. However, their response is what makes them unique. I can’t give them the definition of culture because the term of culture is endless. An example of what I leaned so far is based on my husband, my brother-in-law and best friend definition. Each one discussed the importance of learning and understanding a person’s beliefs, values, ethnicity as well as family history. As I got to know each one of them, I had to accept and respect their values, beliefs, ideas, ethnicity and religion. What makes them so special is what they value and believe in that makes them unique; I guess that’s what I love about them, their opinion!
