For this assignment I decided to ask a great friend of mine that I use to work with. She is an African American single mother and is older than me so I was anxious to hear her thoughts. Her definition of culture was the way that individuals live their everyday life such as the way they dress, how they worship, and the beliefs that were instilled in them. Her definition of diversity was defined as being able to physically see the differences of individuals such as the way they talk or the color of their skin.
Her definition of culture and diversity touched base on characteristics of these two words, such as culture having to deal with ones beliefs and diversity focusing on different languages. She could have went further into her definitions by adding that it is something that is taught to you as a infant and can be influenced depending on your age and location. While my friends definition was precise on culture and diversity this course has helped me be able to add further input to share with others.
Your friend gave a great explanation of culture and diversity, it connects exactly to what we've learned so far. I'm sure it was enlightening for you to hear her response to be the same as the professionals we've listened to. I agree that this course has added to my intellect already and given me more conformation in my thoughts.
