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. =]]]

ICT Tet Homework

1. The internet version contains videos, images and informations while the newspaper version only contains some images and informations. Readers usually prefer illustrations on the website more than the images on newspapers because they are colorful and easier to look at than black-and-white pictures on the newspaper. Also, because on websites, there are videos, readers can easily imagine how the events happened rather than descriptive words on paper based version. Also, people that don't have time to buy newspaper, would like to read news on the internet to save time and you could also read news that you've missed from yesterday or the day before. Both versions contain the same important and basic information and facts about the main topic (for example: where did the events took place? When? Why? How did it happened? What do goverment had done to took place in it?) Things like that. Every version has been checked and edited to make sure that there are no errors found by their readers. Also newspaper online updated constantly allow the publisher to change or post more related news to teh given events.

2. The internet version has more illustrations to support its main topic but it is not trustworthiness because hackers can hack the website and enter opinons or things that are not facts. While newspaper was printed on paper so other people can't change the information on the newspaper. If they do, then it must be the producer wanting to correct the paper. So newspapers are much more trustworthiness than the internet.
