After the presentation presented by Denise, I learned a lot of new things over the topic of Cultural Diversity. His presentation really made me think about how different things are in places other than Carroll or Ames, IA. You can't just think everybody and everything needs to be just like you. You have to have an idea of what life is life in other people's shoes.
By living life in someone else's shoes, I mean there is more to life that your beliefs. Other people have different beliefs and different morals, such as religion. Religion can vary in different regions of the United States. It's dramatically different even going from town to town in Iowa.
He also stated how different things go California compared to Iowa. Oakland is a very hard, rough placed to live and be apart of. Violence is a huge problem in places like this, but people learn how to live with it and react and live their lives as normal as possible.
All in all, everybody is different. Just because somebody does look, act, dress, or think the same way you do, doesn't mean you cant talk to them and communicate together. The nice thing about the United States is that we are a very diverse country, and we get to experience other ways of living. In the end, we all need to treat each other with respect and keep in mind, everybody is their own person.
