why is promoting equality, recognising and valuing diversity important?

Answer 1

Valuing diversity is an opposition to equality, it's a warm and fuzzy classroom discussion. But how about a reality check. The best way to promote cultural diversity. Containment in a sub comunity, little Italy, little Havana, little Cuba, china town, and the like. A place where new citizens don't have to and aren't encouraged to assimilate into our culture. So you have a cultural getto, same culture, language, and able to keep the old ways as they say, all very quaint. But a getto no mater how pretty you paint it is just that. Now you have a contained culture living outside of the real world with a language, and culture that most people can't understand. That makes comercial difficult at best. Outside commerce finds them hard to employ. So our community has an unemployment problem. What to do, join a gang, sell drugs, and rob local shops, and mug people from outside the community. So the local stores go out of business. Their lives threatened, stores robbed, and outside customers quit showing, because of the crime, and police searches for drug traffic. No you have a diverse population trapped in a place with a reputation, and everyone coming from there is suspect. And no one there trusts the world around them. Neither side understands the other, And both sides expect the worst. But they could leave, right? But I'm trapped in a culture trapped in a culture that believes we are inferior right? Otherwise they would want and expect us to be part of their culture, instead of keeping us separate, right? So we have already learned what your ideas on equality means. Your mouth says that, but your really promoting cultural slavery. thank you take that to your professor.

Answer 2

Why would you not want to recognise diversity? It is important to promote equality so everything is fair. Recognising and valuing diversity is important because who wants everything to be the same, that gets old very quick. If you embrace diversity, then you get to learn and enjoy new things and learn about other people.

Answer 3

yeah its really important. the world is a vast and diverse world, with so many differences everywhere you go. promoting equality among people is important, and recognizing and valuing diversity teaches people that not everyone is the same/ from the same hick town that the ignorant person grew up in.

Answer 4

Because people have a strong proclivity to be egotistical and prejudiced. They must be taught to allow for differences and to respect those differences. Hence the promotion of equality & diversity.

Answer 5

Short answer : Everybody is unique and we are required to interact with those different to us every day. The more we value each other, the better we communicate & the better the world will be at solving it's problems, big & small.

Answer 6

Hey, we are all just human beings. Ignorance of such subjects only promotes prejudice and bigotry. We have a lot to learn about each other.

Answer 7

Promotion of all these things is important to prevent discrimination, prejudice and hate crimes in our society. We are taught that everyone is equal..however when we are not to respect that..when we don't sexual, racial, gender, class differences etc are negitively targetted.

Answer 8

We can't live in a society where everyone does the same things the best.
We need people with different interests and talents and skills to build a well rounded economy.

Answer 9

Because the further away you move from that, the closer you move to facism, which (as history has shown us) can all too easily end up in persecution.
