Question #3
The concept I chose was the importance of diversity in small groups. When I was in high school, it would be obvious what group you hung out with mostly by the ethnicity, club, or sport you played. I enjoyed high school, but after I graduated, I wished that I had gotten to know a larger diversity of people when I had the chance. When I had entered San Jose State, I wanted to join a club that had a group of diverse individuals, not only by ethnicity but background as well. The fraternity called PKT rushed me and one of the major reasons why I joined me was because of their diversity and small amount of people. This newfound diversity brought me a different perspective people's background's. It was a great learning experience being in an organization that accepts diversity and personality. Diversity in small groups is truly an important aspect or else one would never understand the different surroundings in which they live in.

ReplyDeleteDiversity is a huge part of my perspective as well! All too often, I believe people can get accustomed to whatever is within their close proximities, and miss out on other diverse perspectives, which really can help us shape our own perspective. I remember my transition from middle school to high school. I came from a predominantly black environment into a predominantly white one. Talk about culture shock; however, acculturating myself into that of a diverse perspective was one of the best decisions of my life! From the various after school programs to playing football that diversity is like a great big potluck, and the more different dishes that are put on the table, the more of a feast we can have. Great blog!
