Great job yesterday with your discussion from the review of the current literature. We are going to switch gears today and discuss the meaning and role of diversity when applied to culture. According to Queensboro Community College (n.d.) "The concept of diversity encompasses acceptance and respect. It means understanding that each individual is unique, and recognizing our individual differences. These can be along the dimensions of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, age, physical abilities, religious beliefs, political beliefs, or other ideologies" (p.1). When we look at the meaning of diversity, we realize that diversity can be applied to a variety of settings, it is not a term specific to culture.
When you look at the definition for diversity, what areas do you feel you could apply this term to? For example, not only in healthcare but where else, or not only related to culture but also in other areas of healthcare. Once you have decided how you feel you could apply diversity to another area, please share one paragraph as a response to this discussion regarding the application method you have selected, and how you feel diversity relates to that scenario. I can see the wheels turning already! I am excited to read your responses!
