When I think about diversity and culture there are many
thoughts that come to mind. First is a Princess: she has to wave a certain way, walk a certain way and she has to have a certain level of training in the department of etiquette. That is the culture of a princess! It's the same with a butterfly they are all different yet they are all beautiful. Their diversity makes them stand out and add more color to our environment.
#1: Culture:
People beliefs, every city and state has their own culture. Every
ethnicity has their own culture: their own way of doing things.
Diversity: Dealing
with the people from unique ethnic groups.
#2: Culture: A
persons environment. Person 2 stated that she was raised in a Godly home and was
raised to read the bible at night before bedtime. Therefore “my culture was a
strict environment that had no room for failure.”
Diversity: Uniquely
different .Diversity is beautiful because God made us all different yet unique.
Diversity:
A different variety not the same and particularly unique.
This week we discovered the definitions of culture and diversity and as
I interviewed my three friends and family members I learned that everyone has
their own definition of culture and diversity and there is not one definition
that is better than the other. If I was given a chance to include every definition
that I was given by the three that I interviewed and publish it in the
dictionary then that will sum up my views of how I define diversity and culture.
Culture should be respected and valued
by all diversities.
You bring up a good point, can culture really be truly defined? It is so different to so many people, and this includes how their culture views culture. You also mention making a dictionary of all the definitions of culture. It would be interesting to have children define culture, or what makes them who they are, and make a book out of that.
ReplyDeleteGreat post. Very interesting way of looking at a butterfly. I agree with the fact that culture has many different definitions that are unique to those you ask and no one definition is better than the other.
ReplyDeleteI too enjoyed your butterfly. A children's book on diversity and culture in comparison to a butterfly would be fun.
