During this week assignment I ask professionals the definition of "culture" and "diversity" I received many definition in which I gained a lot about those professionals. One professor describes them both as person as individual in their environment. He discuss the about race, sexuality, and beliefs. I can so much information from these professionals.
Many of these professionals have look at culture and diversity in different aspects. Which was wonderful for me to discover a definition of culture and diversity. To me these terms serve a great purpose int his world. When we think about these terms we thing about what we we are seeing, hearing, or understanding. Culture and diversity is what we know , what we want to know, and what we want to discovered.
Asking a child what they want to be when they grow up is apart of their culture. Many children look up to community helpers. This is an important part of their self awareness development. Being apart of an African heritage I have learn so much about my culture. I am became enrich with many beliefs and values my heritage share. I am grateful for this course. This course has open many doors for me to discover new things about myself.

ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing. It is nice when we can have healthy conversations with others regarding culture, diversity, and what makes us different. Conversations about inequity and power are more difficult to have.
Tameka I also found it really interesting to hear from others in our community about their definitions of culture and diversity as it contributed to my own knowledge. What I realized through all of this is how valuable and important relationships are in better understanding people and deep culture. Only through relationship are we able to truly understand beyond surface culture. Thanks for sharing!
