What is your experience of diversity?

Diversity is the variety of the different phenomenon of nature in people. Things maybe different on the basic criteria of personality, income, habits, social cultural and economic backgrounds. So diversity is a difference between people in race, age, gender, disability, geographic origin, family status, education, or personality. Nowadays due to massive globalization diversity is present within one country and one city. For example in America people from all over the world are present they are diverse from each other but yet they are living together for a better life of themselves and their families. All they have to do is to respect the diversity, differences and beliefs of other people. I visited Dubai some period ago and I think it is the most diverse state in the world as 3 out of 4 people in Dubai are foreigner and their socio-cultural values are all together different. You will find a woman in scarf and Abbaya there and at the same time you will find a woman in bikini. So there is a huge difference in them. Same is the case here in LSE where some girls wear scarf while other wear tight jeans and tops. Not only their clothing is diverse from each other but also their mind, thinking and social cultural and economic backgrounds are different. So we cannot eradicate or remove diversity but we can reduce the effect of diversity by creating uniformity and standards, for example uniforms in the institutions and another good example is the English language as a standard and international language. We should also respect diversity in order to live peacefully in this world.
