Definitions of Culture:
Person #1 – Culture is the arts. Diversity means different.
Person #2 – Culture is the beliefs, and the way of life of a
group of people. Diversity means that everyone is unique.
Person #3 (Culturally different from me) - Culture is the behavior and the beliefs of an
ethnic group. Diversity means different people.
Which aspects of culture and diversity that I have studied in this course are included in the answers I received—and what are some examples?
All of
the answers above, with the exception of the arts I have studied in my Perspective
on Diversity and Equity Course. The definitions that I have received are
basically similar. The definitions summarize the fact that individuals have a
unique cultural identity. Being diverse (different) and unique represents that.
Which aspects have been omitted—and what are some examples of such
omission? The
definitions were very vague. However, the fact the family culture and diversity
exists, was omitted.
In
what ways has thinking about other people’s definitions of culture and
diversity influenced my own thinking about these topics?
Considering other people’s definitions of
culture and diversity has encouraged me to pay more attention to culture and
diversity. Some may not think it is important. However, living in a diverse world,
it is important to know, consider, respect, and assist in cultivating the
culture of others to help bring balance and congruence.
