Diversity is the existence of variations of different characteristics in a group of people; these characteristics could be everything. The concept of diversity encompasses acceptance and respect; it means understanding that each individual is unique and recognizes individuality. The state of uniqueness of a variety of backgrounds seen in different genders, different sexual orientations will make way for multiplicity.
Diversity makes each of us special and unique in personality, life experiences, and beliefs, all of the things that make us who we are. Diversity is a combination of our differences that shape our view of the world, our perspective and our approach. We look at the strong business case for both gender diversity and ethnic and cultural diversity in corporate leadership; this is because it empowers people by respecting their own norms and opinions.
In education diversity represents a broad range of ideas and initiatives to create learning environments that are safe, inclusive and equitable for as many identities possible. It includes students of different religion, economic status, language. Studies have shown that having diverse classrooms help develop tolerance and greater sense of security when in environments with other foreign cultures encouraging them to be interculturally sensitive. Teaching diversity exposes students to various cultural and social groups, preparing them to become better citizens in their communities. With community we go together to achieve better, we do our identification with the police and the immigration, we go to church and hospital we use the postal services. With our various backgrounds we merge in school for the purpose of learning with our student identification papers.
In the workplace we see that employing people of all ages will make the workplace have ideas of all ages. These diverse set of people come in with skills and talents and their life experiences to add to innovation and they are realistic, practical, and creative. The business case for diversity stems from the progression of models of diversity within the workplace since 1960s. You get the job done by searching to find candidates with programming skills where programming is the theme. When it is time to do analysis and projections this will be possible using all the knowledge and mental faculties of the set on board and realistic based on the chosen employees and their various capacities. Not only age is important, age is one theme to focus on we could also look at the level of education attained across the workplace, some workplaces choose to employ all staff who have one diploma master’s degree holders thus ages will differ meanwhile master diploma is a unifying factor for this set of employees.
