Perspectives on Diversity and Culture

Culture: The coexistence of relations and values ​​of a group of people who share the same language, religion, customs, traditions, or, in simpler terms, food, music, or general beliefs in life. Diversity is colors made up of the cultures displayed by people from different lifestyles. Like my neighbor in the neighborhood where I live, wearing an Indian outfit on the street, my Muslim neighbor wearing a veil, or my American neighbor walking to the mailbox barefoot.

• My friend's recipe, a teacher, is the same as the recipe for the culture taught to us in schools. When defining Culture and Diversity, it can be inferred that different groups have people from different social and ethnic backgrounds together.

Culture is a broad definition of traditions, social behavior, and norms in a specific country. It is not static and changes for a long time based on the learnings and influences coming from different cultures. Human beings born in that culture grew up as a robot of that culture. What we know and live is based on the learnings and beliefs around us.

Diversity is essential for the evolution of the culture and the development of the country. The USA has advantageous because immigrants can bring their culture along with them. People can learn from each other and gain different perspectives. Being more open to different ideas and ways of doing work is essential in developing countries. 

• My husband emphasized that differences are more readily accepted in developed countries and that this diversity can be accepted as a problem in developing countries.

 Culture: In my opinion, culture is a common life form that emerges from the fusion of religion and social rules with what one learned from an ancestor (parents and parents of parents).

When I say diversity, richness comes to my mind: different cultures, different voices, different lifestyles, different understandings of humor, different food.

Society would be too boring to be part of a single culture, but this is turning into entertainment boredom if there is a social structure made up of very different cultures like Turkey. For example, western Turkey loves Mediterranean cuisine and listening to Mediterranean tunes; They eat kebabs in the east of Turkey and listen to Kurdish songs.

• My brother's description of who lives in Turkey and works as an engineer: definition gave me a different perspective. While Elvan defines different cultures and diversity, he concluded that cultures can reconcile or conflict. This situation reminded me that each person can have the correct definition, but just as culture is unique and different to everyone when they were defining it.
