Diversity Worksheet

1. What is diversity? Why is diversity valued?

I believe diversity is everything that we are and that we are not. Diversity can be

age group, gender, race, religion, physical appearance, beliefs and much more.

Diversity should be respected and valued because; nobody is the same as everyone

else. Everyone has something to offer and everyone has a skill or trait that they can

make a difference in whatever it might be.

Ethnocentrism when you think your culture is better than someone else’s culture.

I think that ethnocentrism can be detrimental to society because, it causes fights

among one another, countries and even states. For example a girl and a boy are in

an agreement on who’s math class is better. Both might be different in gender but

both attend a math class for the same reason.

city that you are not from and stay there and rise a family. I also believe immigrates

style or opportunities.
