Difference Between Equality And Diversity

Diversity - you can have a mixture of races working in the same company, of which there maybe some have different needs, for instance if someone is of a religion that has to pray at certain times of the day, the employer would need to accomodate this if not they could be seen to be treating them unfairly which could lead to tribunal. Now once the employer does accomodate this then they need to ensure that it is done in a fair way, so they would not be able to give them extra breaks, as this would again be treating them differently to other staff and this could lead to complaints/tribunal from the other members of staff, this is diversity.
Equality Example - men and women doing the same job, men has starting wage at £18,000 women's starting wage £16,000 the woman complains and then discovers that it is only her not all women who ahve this starting wage, she can then ask them to put her inline with everyone else so then she would be equal!!

An extremely difficult subject in a nutshell...
We live in a culturally diverse society which essentially means we have alot of very differant people from a wide variety of backgrounds (age, ethnicity, education etc) in the UK.
Equality means that everybody, no matter what their background, is to be treated equally and with fairness.
Equality and diversity essentially means that everyone, no matter who they are, have the same human rights and should be treated with same dignity and respect as everyone else.

I believe that equality means that every person has the same rights as others and that each person should be treated with respect and treated fairly. Diversity are the traits that make us different from each other. For example skin color, height, weight, eye color, etc....

racial diversity = a variety of races living in the same society
racial equality = all races have the same rights and are treated fairly

I accept as true with you as much as a element. My sticking element is the "cohesion" area. How might you create cohesion? might this require assimilation and the alternative of one lifestyle with yet another? if so, does that propose that the unique lifestyle has no value? What precisely is "British lifestyle"? in line with my understanding of "British" this might embody English, Welsh plus the cultures of all those from different international places who've now settled in great Britain and carry an eu/British passport. i don't know what the respond is myself yet your question did make me think of! thank you.
