This week is kind of funny and strange. We are to get other definition on what culture and diversity is. Years ago I had a friend, we were young then, and she would always tell a person if they are acting silly or strange, "you don't have no culture". At that time I never did understand what she was talking about. But I believe that she was actully saying the person had no class.
As I spoke to another friend, I ask what is culture she replied, Culture is the way you think, and Diversity is being different.
A church member I asked she stated that culture is doing things the way you use to and diversity is doing diferent things.
As I listen to each answer, I think the point of culture is missed by or every one has a different story. The ommission here is that no one talked about the race, or the religion, or the age just being different. I have really looked at what I used to think what culture was looking at people way of lilfe. This is how I thought culture was. I think culture can lead some to be diverse; because every one do thing differnt in their own home.
In some ways I guess its a good thing that peoples religion wasn't so important. Religion has a way of separating people and unfortunately is a cause of hate.
ReplyDeleteMyra,
ReplyDeleteIsn't it amazing that if we as a society do not make discussions intelligently about what culture and diversity is, we will not become knowlegeable about what these things truly mean. i can see how far I have come on the understanding and meaning of the terms just form the instruction in this course.
