Diversity is essential, as expressed in Kennedy’s statement, the residents of the planet Camazotz in A Wrinkle in Time, and the story of Ruby Bridges going to school.…

Data was collected from a sample of 504 individuals who were divided into three groups (community group, university students, and respondents with a medical condition).
