Week 4 D-1 Diversity



I believe that it depends on everybody. Valuing diversity comes easy for me since I like to learn more about other people and I do value their opinions. But for some people valuing diversity might be a challenge since not everyone is always accepting of other people. Different assumptions and stereotypes could also come into play with certain member of group and it could make it difficult to value another person’s thoughts. It can take a lot of time and learning for one to be more accepting of diversity.  One way in which a group could enhance their ability to value diversity could be to ask everyone to write their suggestions down on a piece of paper and for it to be anonymous. That way no one knows whose is whose.  Then another person could read everything aloud to the group and they could hear what everyone has to say in a non-judgmental way.  It would be harder for someone to ignore another person if they aren’t as accepting of diversity.
