Cultural Diversity is not something all countries have come to terms with. Some cities are more diverse and culturally rich more than others. I believe the one important factor of being an adult is to know how other cultures may be different from you own. In my opinion knowing what other cultures are like gives individuals and groups the ability to make sound decisions. Cultural diversity is something I love about living in the United States. Although, I have only vacationed in different countries I can appreciate having a mixed group of people in one country.
One thing I found interesting about the chapter six American Society and Cultural Diversity is that the “African Americans are the now the second largest minority group in
The United States of America is the most diverse country in the world today. You can travel to the mountainy southern states, or the flat midwest, and the two places are basically completely different countries with completely different cultures. This is a direct correlation from in Colonial America how the colonies were so different even though they were all English owned. Because the English colonies were all so diverse, this led to our present day nation to be such a “melting pot.” Although England had thirteen Colonies in America, the Colonies had substantial differences between them, like how they were formed for different reasons, the basis of their economies were different, and the role religion played in each colony varied.
In my town, Scarsdale, NY never really provides a way to experience diversity. It's a monocultural town which consist of predominately white-jewish kids. This makes me cherish the opportunities that I do have to meet new different people, and experience other cultures. This is one of the main reasons I want to switch coasts of the US. The fact that there is such a cultural discrepancy between the east coast and the west coast is something that is really exciting to me.
How could diversity in the United States potentially lead to collapse? There are many elements that contribute to collapse. Whether it’s on a larger scale, like a country, or on a smaller scale, like a family. There is an infinite amount. But the most important one, is diversity.
Examining the Major Barriers of Diversity Among Asian-Americans B. Thesis Statement The Asian-American journey is a combination of determination, struggles, and assimilation.

Growing up in a small, middle class town in the midwest left little cultural diversity surrounding me as a young child. Me and all of my friends seemed to be cut from the same material. For the most part, we all had two loving, caring parents, we often times did not struggle for items necessary to live, and we often times were never introduced to people much different than us. It can be quite easy to say the midwest is the worst place to raise an open minded child; that being said, I believe my first two hours in Germany opened my eyes more than anything else I have gone through in my entire life.
Indeed, you mentioned an important aspect of disparities and it is one related to the disparities affecting racial groups. The United States is a multicultural country so for a healthcare professional to treat a disease or to approach a group is necessary to consider their cultural background, traditions, and beliefs. Despite all the United States effort to eradicate the racial differences in the Country, race continues as one of the most significant factors to take into consideration when we are evaluating health care services or high quality of care. Health disparities among Hispanics most the time is caused by the type of food they consume, and the lack of access to healthcare services. In addition, some Hispanic are not the United States
Growing up in Miami, one of the most diverse cities in the world, has taught me a few things about diversity. Even in Miami, I have always been the only Persian in my diverse group of friends which includes a Mexican, two Indian twins, two Egyptian twins, and a Jew. Our Saturday night conversations consisted of comparing our cultures, founding out the similarities and differences between our languages and cuisines, and learning about each other 's customs. A typical sleepover included gorging down my mother 's Ghormeh Sabzi, a specialty Persian stew, while watching a Bollywood film. I 've been exposed to so many aspects of various human cultures, and I 'm still yearning to learn more.
As a member of the LGBT community, I see America through the eyes of someone who has had to struggle to gain acceptance from others and themselves. When you are gay or transgender not everyone is going to accept or understand you, but you have a chance to be who you are because in America you can build your own path. To me, Americans are like phoenixes; we can rise from the ashes of our pasts, and build ourselves up creating our own sense of liberty and freedom. I grew up in a traditional Christian household, so I was very sheltered as a child. When it came to anything the church thought was a sin, I was never told about it, so I didn’t know what being gay meant until I was 12 years old.

3.Multiculturalism is an ethnic diversity, where in a community contains multiple cultures. As of today, Canada recognizes the potential of all Canadians, the belief of all citizens are equal, keeping their identities and showing acceptances. Showing acceptances in Canadians is from taking pride in their ancestry, feeling secure, self-confidence and accepting diverse cultures. In the T.V shows, I watch was all crime shows, showing that the people are there to loved each other in different ethnic culture. Canadian multiculturalism has been good in T.V shows where the characters show a discourages of hatred, discrimination and violence, but shown a little bit violence in crime shows.
Leslie Cruz February 23, 2023 Cultural Diversity The United States can be seen as an example of a nation where different perspectives are regarded as effective.

But, living in a multicultural city is by itself a very beneficial exercise not only on a personal level but also in terms of cultural exchange, economic exchange and generating new ideas. One experiences what is called cultural variety when living in a diverse area.

These new things would easily open one’s heart and mind to new places, new ideas and new people.

As I have grown up, I have learned that by being open minded to other cultures means that I can become more educated and expand my experiences. By carrying this mindset with me wherever I go, I can comfortably let my guard down and be willing to have a different perspective on life in general. As well as educate myself on the variety of cultures that make up our population. After reflecting on my past, I observed that I grew up in an enculturated environment.
