The diversity of these differing cultures abounds in families‚ communities‚ private and public organizations; and benefits our society with an increased cultural awareness and engagement‚ which has decreased stereotyping and decreased discriminatory practices on the basis of being different (Wilson‚ 2014). According to Manning & Curtis (2012)‚ diversity is about all person’s being accepted and respected and being able to believe
