Definition Essay On Diversity

Diversity in my opinion has many definitions but one true meaning. My meaning would be the vast variety or difference of something in a large group. The dictionary’s definition is “being diverse; difference” and also “A point or respect in which things differ... variety or multifamily”. The definition shows much more than people that are multi-cultural. When I think of multi-cultural I think of race. When I think of diversity I think of a difference. In my opinion those two words should have nothing in common, but to most people they do. Variety, Assortment, Mixture, Mix and Range. What are all these words? They all mean the same thing but are a big variety and are the same meaning. Many things can be diverse for instance the community or population is very diverse. There is a variety of different types of people and religions all over the world. For Example, in the world there is a variety of different religion’s. Making the world very diverse and very hard not to encounter diversity. When you may encounter diversity in a school setting as a teacher you need to ask open-ended questions as far as different experiences or observations of diversity without calling on a student to speak for his or her race/gender/culture. After encountering it for so long you have to find a way to celebrate and embrace diversity.
Celebrating diversity in your community is a great way to celebrate your community as a whole. From small, everyday activities too large, all-out events and parties. Little things could be listening to music from a different culture or trying a foreign restaurant when you go out to eat. Learning to not think negatively about diversity and to see the good in people’s differences is the best way to celebrate in daily life. Also trying to communicate with people from a different background and learn more about their culture daily is a good thing
