This week I talk to family and friends to get there definition of culture and diversity. These are some of the definitions I received from
others.
Culture is your lifestyle or way of life.
Diversity is the different groups of people
Diversity is the combination of various people,
ethnicities, and cultures.
Culture is the history/ background of a person.
As you can
see each definition is different but is what they perceive culture and
diversity to be. In this course many aspects of culture and diversity have been
studied including those defined above. According to the learning resources culture
is referred to as how a group of people live. It is the way we talk, play, eat,
and relate to each other. This includes our language, religion, holidays,
housing, and food. Culture is definitely our way of life but you determine what
and who you are. It is possible to relate to other cultures without abandoning
your home culture which is a major influence on how I think about culture and
diversity.
