Diversity: The Inca's Perspective Of The World

Diversity. Perspective. Culture. These are some of the many aspects of society that initiate progress around the world. Distinct and diverse ideas that are communicated through interaction and exploration are what allow the populace to create unique thoughts and philosophies. Many believe that to achieve progress, homogeneity should be embraced to achieve greater progress. However, for society to globally experience the benefit of progress, people must be able to freely explore, exhibit and build on various worldviews and cultures. The various parts of a person’s cultural identity are what allows them to connect to the rest of the world. These preserved cultural identities are essential for the world to progress.

An event like this would be comparable to assimilation, which has occurred countless times over in history and was usually what divided cultural groups from their own culture and religion. For instance, the Spanish assimilated the Inca against their will and then slaughtered the ones who didn’t cooperate (D, Page 72-73).

The event itself was meant to convey feeling between others and also for others to build on their philosophies. Clash of perspectives would also spark new philosophies and ideas. In this case, Charle Darwin specifically discussed of human evolution from ape-like ancestors in The Descent of Man. This out-right opposed the perspective of the biblical story of creation and sparked a long history of extensive and intense controversy (B, 1516). Charles and the followers of the biblical story of creation had to slowly integrate these new and diverse viewpoints into their own views and build on them. Two ideas opposing each other may create controversial topics, but it also allowed others to develop on their own
