8. 1. How would you define human and cultural diversity? - Human and cultural diversity is the different ethnic backgrounds they everyone comes from. Diversity, meaning different, is what sets each person aside from another. American has become a melting pot for diversity. 2. In what ways does the time culture/place/society you studied differ from your background? What might you have in common? - I don’t think that we as America have many cults or organizations that target a particular race like the Nazis did. They closest group that we have is the KKK. But, even in today’s society it is becoming more and more uncommon to see. Once again, seeing other cultures and backgrounds are becoming the new normal. 3. What factors might lead one person or group to distrust another person or group? What is responsible for our world views? - This is similar to gangs. Because one person had trouble, then the whole group will have trouble. It only takes one bad apple to spoil the whole basket. If a group member doesn’t like another group then they might spread lies and try and get everyone to turned against them. We are responsible for our own view.

9. 4.Based on what you learned in this project, what might be some potential obstacles to embracing and applying your understanding of human diversity? What might be the potential consequences? - In today’s society, there is so much diversity. In the work place, you might encounter someone of a different race or ethnic background. You don’t need to ignore them because they are different. Embrace this opportunity to learn something new. 5.What can your community do to promote awareness of, and appreciation of, human and cultural diversity? - Have a multicultural day. Have someone from a different culture come around and speak to students and tell them about their experiences. Let them explain how different it is to be living in America and why it is worse or better. Have them tell us about some of their traditions. 6.What might you do differently in the future in dealing with other people, as a result of this project? - I will embrace there diversity. I will learn to except people they way that they are.
