Social Diversity

A lot of people participate in social diversity every day. To me this means the different factors that change our society.  Factors such as age religion, race,sexual orientation, skin color, etc . It is also related to multiculturalism, which is defined by embracing many cultures and ethnicities and bringing them to one. The importance of social diversity in my life is just being with people and learning about them and their cultures, because knowing this helps our world to come together. I think this goes along with all sorts of different issues of social diversity that are important in everyday life. In my life, the most important are gender class, race, and ethnicity. I feel that these all effect things we do daily and something you are always thinking about or seeing.

                I think there are a lot of different influences in my life that helped me learn about social diversity and multiculturalism. The two biggest influences would have to be my family and my education. My family helped so much because they are the biggest place where I can learn about my culture and my heritage because I get all of this from them. Also school is a huge place to learn about all of this because we are learning every day about different things even such as this one. Last year in school, I took a class that focused all about multiculturalism in literature. It helped me to see different ways people live their lives and how they are with their families and friends.

                There are many social issues out there today that could be interesting to investigate this semester. I am interested in many but one that sticks out for this assignment is women's rights. I feel that it is an important topic because I am a woman and all of these rights effect me in my daily life. With out a lot of these rights we have today things would be a lot different for me and I would not be where I am today. Also, there are many more things to change these days and women need to speak up and stand out. A lot of these issues are related to my major because my major is psychology and it all depends on different issues and researching different things.
