Entry 6

The in-class presentations on culture were very informative. It broadened my intellect in realizing that each individual is unique. The concept of diversity encompasses acceptance and respect and recognizing our individual differences. These can be along the dimensions of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation etc. By exploring these differences in a safe, positive and nurturing environment, I was able to understand the different cultures, beliefs and practices. I've learnt to move beyond simple tolerance to embrace and celebrate the rich dimensions of diversity contained within each individual.
