Do You Think That Cultural Diversity Is Important? Why/ Why Not? (Ex: For The Growth Of An Individual, It Defines Who We Are, Etc)

SCHOOL PROJECT ON CULTURE, thankyou to all those who helped in answering my question.

[woofgang]

but isn’t the project supposed to be about what you think?

[Estellehow]

@woofgang Yes it is partly about my views on culture, but the main idea behind this project is to also carry out a lot of research and investigate on this topic. Therefore, I am carrying out interviews to get other people's opinion. I am trying to find out to what extent cultural diversity has an impact on all individuals in society.

It's important that all the e!elements in the mix are singing from the same hymn sheet. FGM, honour killings, child brides, and marauding gangs of men groping, and robbing, young women on the streets, may be acceptable back home. Such practises needo be left there.

If you have a group of people,say stranded on a desert island as a result of an aircraft crash, what aspects of culture would conduce to the success of the survivors? If they variously spoke French, Hindi and English (and none were multilingual) this would make an accidental difference (in this case language) very important: the survivivors can't discuss issues of survival with each other verily easily. Diversity in this case would be an impediment to the broader aim, i.e. survival.
The evident observation that diversity in my scenario is unhelpful in no way implies that Hindi is inferior to French.

For the world or a country ?

In limited amounts it can be beneficial, adding new ideas and experiences. In excess it causes rifts between the established culture and the new one that isn't integrating sufficiently but providing a rival one within the same country.

I don't think one can give it the accolade "important". A culture goes on whether diversity exists in it or not. It is simply a fact, your country has one or not, and if it does integration is important to achieve a single overall culture, not competing ones.

If cultural diversity is so great that there is no communication between the cultures then you don't have a diverse culture, you have a diversity of cultures.

Vetuste, I caught a glimpse of myself reflected in a shop window a few weeks ago. I immediately thought ' I'll b a monkey's uncle if I'm not the spitting image of that goodly unGodly scientist.
We have the same great domed head, buzzing with fanciful ideas, the luxuriant flowing white whiskers, and the look of someone who has the weight of the world on his shoulders.
Beckett had to stand aside.

So sad to hear that you don't own a mirror Sandy, still I suppose mirrors are the first step on the road to vanity and thus to hell (only if you can't get the right shade of eye shadow).
