...Diversity Diversity Worksheet Eth125 Michael Drummonds 1. Diversity can be differences in race, heritage, customs, belief systems, physical appearance, mental capabilities, etc. Diversity should be respected and valued because nobody is completely the same as anyone else, even within the categories above. People tend to reject what is different. Our difference/diversities can lead to growth as a society or can lead to violence and hatred. Everyone in the workplace is treated equally. I think that everyone has something to offer and everyone has a strong factor/skill that they can contribute to the company. 2.

We need diversity in our society it is essential for these reasons. 2.What is ethnocentrism? In what ways can ethnocentrism be detrimental to a society? Ethnocentrism is when one holds their own culture hiring than any others. They believe that they are far more superior than anyone else. I feel that it is great for one feel so deeply and be passionate about their culture but to diminish others is not the way to go. To do that would be detrimental because when people do have such a strong connection with their culture and get knocked down for it by someone that feels they are more superior can really bring someone down as that sometimes is what they think makes them who they are.
