Cultural Diversity

-What is Cultural Diversity? Explain why it is important to respect Cultural Diversity?
Every one of us is special, unique, extraordinary, and incomparable. We came from many different parts of countries, cultures and regions of the world. We are different in our appearance, social structures, belief systems, and strategies the cultures use for adapting to life situations in various parts of the world.
“Cultural Diversity” means the state of being diverse or different in many ways (cultures, language...). It also means multiculturalism. We can refer cultural diversity in many groups within a country, the majority and the minority. The differences in values system, religion and local cultures could also account to the diversity.
Diversity is important because it provides our society and culture with unique and inspirational perspectives. Diversity can create new ideas and changes that can be extremely beneficial to a society, or could even to the world.
In America, you can see that it’s normal to ask an adult name, but in China, it would consider rude and disrespectful. You eat by fork and spoon in Europe but Asians usually eat with chopsticks. Cultural Diversity allowed us to find joy in meals, different food, and different meal custom. Think of how boring it would be eating the same food every single day. Me for myself, I love trying out new food and different traditions we need to do before eating. =]]]
