Reply To: ToT 4. Culture and diversity

Thinking about culture as the “same-ness” of each of us in a specific group and diversity as that “different-ness” about us is a clue to the stereotypes that we all hold, known or unknown. We act out of our own culture and diversity, and I believe that we also view other cultures through a lens that we don’t fully understand.

That said, I believe that we need to function in community with others whom are different from us to achieve the best result. An example comes to mind in the body. We can’t function if our whole body were an eye or an ear or a foot. We need even those parts that we can’t see…like our heart, and brain and lungs in order to live! In the same way, we need each other with our very different abilities and God-given design to be the best that we all can be…together!
