Diversity & Inclusion


I believe that it is good to have a diverse selection of people around you in life. They can give you a broader knowledge of the world and may make you more accepting to other people. If you are accustomed to encountering people that seem weird, they wont scare you away. I like to meet and get to know people that seem weird from the outside. I've noticed that once you understand the person better you start to realize how why they are that way. A lot of times they only seem weird to us because they are different then what we are used to, but where they come from they are just fitting in. When you include someone that has been pushed out or doesn’t want to be included you are adding a new perspective to the group. When a group alienates a person, sometimes unintentionally, they reduce the number to minds working together. This can happen when everyone is agreeing except one person who doesn’t want to speak up because they know they will be out numbered, but just because everyone has the same opinion doesn’t mean it is the correct one. By adding the other side of the discussion a better solution can be made where angles have been said and heard. Also it is nice.
