That's the beauty of a diverse community, sharing your own culture and we integrate some of the best things into our everyday lives. Food is one of the things that come to mind, any day of the week you have choices. One day can be Chinese, the next day Mexican or Indian.
I think it really brings us together if we listen to other peoples ideas. Sometimes it can bring an enlightenment to a situation, like troubleshooting Everyone puts out their thoughts and the best solution can be found.
Yes of course, but with newer generations we may become a lot more diverse. The world is changing and so are people's perceptions of culture and religion.
Very true.
Thanks Lisa. I think it is too, but it's not something we will always achieve.

Thanks Maria. Yes, you're absolutely right. We are as unique as we are diverse. Society is more diverse than it used to be.
We all have different thoughts, ideas about culture, ideas about food, about what we like and that's why we will always be diverse.
I agree. If we're willing to listen and embrace other people's ideas, culture and attitudes we're more likely to agree on and find solutions together.
We become diverse when we cannot agree.
I like that saying a lot. Unfortunately it is going to take many more generations before we learn to accept the world is one big melting pot.
Yes of course, but with newer generations we may become a lot more diverse. The world is changing and so are people's perceptions of culture and religion.
Diversity is matter of acceptance outside of our own paradigm. It is essential to understanding the uniqueness of our civilization.
Diversity is not assimilation, but rather a mixture of differences coexisting under the same roof.
Thanks Tim. I agree. You've left me with nothing more to add!
