The_Concept_Of_Diversity

The Concept Of Diversity Diversity is the “ differences and similarities in the experiences, needs, and beliefs of people. “ (Lum, pg 3.) There are many ways to classify diversities yet all agree that diversities are not a choice. Diversities relates to age, race, gender, sexual orientation, and size to name a few. The experiences of diversity that a person has make up their life. “ Finding out about these multiple identities which shape the critical consciousness of an individual is part of understanding the unique diversity of a person.“(Lum, pg40.) My Own Diversity What makes me diverse' I am a female, a mother, student, computer operator, 35, Caucasian, single, Irish, English, American Indian, a Veteran, and an actor. I was born in Michigan however, my dad was in the military so, we moved. Following in my father’s footsteps I also joined the military this exposed me to 45 different states and 7 different countries. With the exposure to different lifestyles nothing is as shocking as it was when I first joined the military. My morals have not changed, just the way I apply them to others.
