What is Culture
Culture can be understood as “a
particular way of life, which expresses
certain meanings and values not only in
art and learning, but also in institutions
and ordinary behavior.”
“Is a set of assumptions people simply
accept without questions as they interact
with each other.”
DIVERSITY
Conceptually, diversity may either be
understood as variety, in which all people
are regarded as unique individuals, or as
difference, in which specific groups of
people(e.g.. non_whites and women) are
regarded as being different with respect
to a dominant group (e.g.. White men).
CULTURAL DIVERSITY
“Is the variety of human societies or
culture in a specific region, or in the world
as a whole.
As well as more obvious cultural
differences that exist between people,
there are significant variations in the
societies organise themselves.
IMPORTANCE OF CULTURAL
DIVERSITY
Societies are increasingly diverse or are
increasingly capable of admitting the
diversity which has always existed within their
national boarders.
Persons and groups have varied, plural and
dynamic identities
Culture takes diverse forms across time and
space.
This diverse is embodied in the uniqueness
and plurality of the identities of the groups
and societies making up humankind.
 
As a source of exchange, innovation and
creativity, cultural diversity is as necessary
for humankind as biodiversity is for nature
In this sense , it is the common heritage of
humanity and should be recognized and
affirmed for the benefit of present and
future generations.

Cultural diversity encompasses the variety of human societies and cultures worldwide, shaping unique identities and fostering exchange of ideas. Embracing diversity promotes innovation, creativity, and mutual understanding. However, issues like stereotypes, lack of familiarity, workplace tensions, and unequal dialogue can hinder the full realization of cultural diversity's benefits. Recognizing and addressing these challenges are crucial for enhancing societal cohesion and global interconnectedness.
