Cultural Diversity

Diversity is a very important thing in the lives of everyone. Learning about diversity can make people aware to all the different poeple or ideas out there and can make them more tolerant of people who are different from them. Whether the difference being race, sexual orientation, religion, etc. I very much enjoyed the presentation. The speaker kept everyone awake by being active and showing videos and such. He also taught me a lot about diversity in people's lives when he showed the class the videos of how students were scared to go to school in Oakland. That really surprised me because I had no idea that there were places so bad that kids just didn't go to school. For all of my schooling I went to Nevada, where everyone knew each other, where there was practically no crime, and you didn't really have to worry about anything. I really couldn't imagine being scared to leave the house. After the whole presentation, I really did see the importance in realizing the different people and their situation around the world no matter where your from.
