what diversity means to me

Diversity ranges form many different assortments of people. There are people of several different racial, religious, age, cultural, sexual orientation, and gender. The list is infinite to the categories of diversity. All this diversity or labels per say are massively compiled through New York City, it being one of the most diverse cities in America. Multi-culturalism is enabled throughout public schools and private schools, along with workplaces and other areas of commerce and so on. Diversity can benefit the wholesomeness of society, although sometimes it goes in disadvantage to more under the table issues between the separate groups.

Some schools for instance contain diversity for all the wrong reasons, for example, they will accept minority students with lower qualifications on an academic level than a caucasian student with equal or higher qualifications because the more minority student the college enrolls the more their funds will escalate. Most people enjoy the benefits of diversity, with the experience of new people, new cultures, and new ideas set into places that hadn’t been there originally. Tons of people begin to falter when they talk about diversity because people do have opinions of their own that they can rectify on their own terms.

Although, those opinions are clearly personal and their own and not expressing the views of society. In the workplace, many companies are sued for the ignorance in their hiring process of not taking minority applicants. However, some will only take minority applicants to avoid the compilations of lawsuits that would come their way so they work on becoming globally diverse in their company. Clearly, some circumstances like previously mentioned about the college acceptance, many think it unfair and to be honest it is because it lowers chances of other deserving students. Having a plethora of diversity in areas increases the cultural acceptance and diverse acceptance in the area.

When brought up in a surplus of diversity one can openly speak about the advantage and disadvantage that they have overcome and had, along with an understanding of what each diverse group goes through and be more accustom and unreserved about their opinion towards the topic and reality of the situation. Then there are those who were not able to manifest their feelings about how diversity affects them and what it means to them because they are masked with the idea that each group of diverse communities must stay put and not be modified to a newer more diverse community of people. Growing up in a myriad of diversity helps me understand the struggles of any diverse group in countless ways. In retrospect, diversity can either aid a situation in many ways because people are more accepting or pollute minds into thinking that certain diversities should not be linked with each other.
