Week 4, Question 1

I don't believe that the value of diversity comes easy, but I think it is a lot better then it was 10, 15 or 30 years ago. Our nation as a whole has gone through a lot of changed in regards to diversity over the past 100 years and I think as much as we wish it wasn't a problem or even an issue, it is still present in our lives. Diversity is more then just skin color, it is religions, morals, ethics and ways of communication. I believe that groups need to be more open to adding in members of different diversity's that way their outcome can be outreached to many different people. When you put all of the same people in a group, you can almost expect the outcome of the meeting to be. But when you add in different morals, values and experiences you start more topics of discussion. With this, more people will be able to take in the new changes and more people will benefit. Also when you throw in different cultures you open up more topics to discuss, both problems and solutions, but in the end will make the group stronger by getting a greater understand of others as well as strengthen the group. I think if groups pick people to work together at random it will make for different groups each time. With each time more people will have greater understanding of communication styles and group interactions.
