The Importance of Diversity

After a long internal debate on an appropriate advocacy topic, I have decided to use cultural diversity as my topic. I am a firm believer that diversity among all types of people of all different races and religions is essential in every society. Segregation, although ruled unconstitutional decades ago is still present among groups of people in the United States and in other countries. Cultural diversity especially in working environments, as well as college campus' is especially important. The way I plan on presenting this project is though a power-point, which will include photos that I have taken, along with ones of the internet showing cultural diversity in action.

In my project, I will highlight the benefits of cultural diversity. I will also try and show the negative affects of segregation in a college, or regular school environment. Although most people believe that just because segregation was ruled unconstitutional, that it no longer exists, in my power-point and photos, I will try to show to the best of my abilities that it does in fact exist all around us. In society today, without cultural diversity, there would be very little, if any understanding between different groups, their ideas and beliefs. People of different "groups" need to be able to come together and be able to work and come up with ideas that will benefit society as a whole.

For the power-point slides, I am going to show various photos of different groups of people coming together and working together on in a college environment. Highlighting the differences between diverse groups of people, and segregated ones is also something I plan on presenting in the power-point. I will try to capture my own photos of cultural diversity, along with adding some I may find on the internet. Most of the graphics I plan on using will be in the form of pictures, unless I happen to find other graphics related to my topic.
