Not surprisingly the topic of diversity often involves misconceptions about the meaning of diversity. For some the concept of diversity is to equate it only to ethnic culture. In the past diversity training often centered on teaching people about specific cultural characteristics. In some situations specific culture or ethnic training may be needed. However, this type of training can put too much focus on the differences instead of the similarities among different cultures. Diversity is not equal employment opportunity, affirmative action, quota system.or blaming any racial or ethnic group for the past.

 

 Diversity is about demographic changes, behavior, value, profitability, acceptance, and inclusion. Diversity is a celebration of our humaness as individuals and our group commonalities.Diversity is about appreciating ourselves and respecting others in a way that creates unity and inclusion at all levels in society.
