Diversity in our Society

Diversity is a gift, not an issue. When looking at our society, we are lucky to have such a mixture of people and cultures. We come in contact with many different types of people on a day to day bases which is such a great privalige. It provides us with so much extra knowledge of another cultures, and hopefully people are open enough to appeciate the opportunity that we have in our society and can learn from everyone. Another important thing is that we enjoy this experiences so freely. In other cultures coming in contact with other cultures and social classes is not allowed, so they miss out on all the wonderful opportunities that we have. Thats why we need to be so grateful of this blessing. It is something that we all should treasure, because we have the access to learn something that school and books can not teach us first hand. We can walk around our campus and learn so much, just by interacting with someone of a different race or gender or religion. It truly is as wonderful thing that we all should embrace and welcome.
Then on the other hand there are some many people in our country that do not welcome this opportunity and hold grudges and prejudges ways that are very sad, by eliminating a race or gender or religion because they view it as a meaningless or wrong thing that does not benefit their lives in anyway. Which is sad but is their view, because of some prior happening or occurance between them and a different race or religion that went wrong. Although for the most part I believe that the world is a good place with many good people in it that are grateful for the diversity they experience and I hope that this feeling only grows further and strengthens our country as the years go on.
