Week 4: D1


Does valuing diversity come easily?  Why or why not?  Can you make some suggestions to enhance a group’s ability to value diversity?  

Diversity is important as it brings more ideas to the table in a small group setting. With a wide range of diversity it also helps a group perform more efficiently due to the different talents people might have. It is not easy to value diversity. Sometimes it is hard to communicate within a group because of the differences of people. A lot of people do not accept diversity because they value their own culture group more than others. By not accepting the diversity, conflicts also can arise, which is not beneficial in a group setting. We are more partial to our own ethnicity, culture, gender, age, and religion.
One suggestion I have is to incorporate more diversity in the work place. This can teach others how to work with “different” types of people. Not only that but in so people can be more exposed to different community. Also before new group meetings, have everyone introduce him or herself a little bit so that the group will understand this person a bit more. Everyone should just have an open mind every time they are in a group setting.
