Cultural diversity

Often used interchangeably with the


concept of
multiculturalism
MULTICULTURALISM

is defined as “a system of beliefs and behaviors that


recognize and respect the presence of all diverse groups
in an organization or society, acknowledges and values
their socio-cultural differences, and encourages and
enables their continued contribution within an inclusive
cultural context which empowers all within the
organization or society.”
Seven important actions involved in the
definition of multiculturalism
BY: Sociologist Dr. caleb Rosado,
Diversity & multiculturalism specialist
MULTICULTURALISM
1. recognition of the abundant diversity of cultures;
2. Respecting for the differences;
3. Acknowledging the validity of different cultural
expressions and contributions;
4. Valuing what other cultures offer;
5. Encouraging the contribution of diverse groups;
6. Empowering people to strengthen themselves and others to
achieve their maximum potential by being critical of their own
biases; and
7. Celebrating rather than just tolerating the differences in
order to bring about unity through diversity
HOW CAN WE
RESPOND TO THE
CALL OF
CULTURAL DIVERSITY?
1. Increase your level of understanding about
other cultures by communing with people
outside of your own culture - meaningful
relationships may never be developed simply
without communication.
2. Do not impose values on others that may bring
conflict or inconsistencies with other cultures.
3. When interacting with others who may not be proficient in

English, we must bear in our minds that language


differences do not reflect their level of intellectual ability.
4. Be sensitive to the concepts and terms revolving around family,
gender roles, religion, and emotional well-being for they vary
significantly among cultures and behavior.
5. Within the workplace, educational
setting and medical setting, use materials
that are acceptable among various
cultural groups within the local community
and the society in general.
6. Avoid behaviors that show cultural
insensitivity, bias, or prejudice.
7. Be proactive in listening, accepting, and
welcome people and ideas that are different
from your own.
Narca, A. and Sevilla, H. (2018) said that

“Cultural diversity supports the idea that every person


can make a unique and positive contribution to the
larger society in spite of their differences. Imagine a
place where diversity is recognized and respected;
various cultural ideas are acknowledged and valued;
contributions from all groups are encouraged; people
are empowered to achieve their full potential; and
differences are celebrated.”
“Diversity
is the one true thing we
have in common.
Celebrate it everyday.”
Why is cultural diversity
