Diversity with a visual metaphor

Through out the reading for this week, I discovered many factors that play a roll in the importance of diversity; especially in schools. The first thing I noticed in the reading was that diversity encourages creativity. It allows people to look for several different perspectives. If students are not introduced to any kind of diversity, they will not get those kinds of important perspectives, and they will not be able to understand the advantages diversity can bring to their lives. People who are different from one another bring unique ideas to the table. This allows us to successfully progress into new understandings. Understanding and accepting diversity provokes thought. It changes the negative perceptions people see in each other and brings us together to discover and advance through this world together. By accepting diversity, students can use each other as a learning tool to gain different perspectives and ideas that would have otherwise not been introduced to them.

Important Idea: Diversity creates more perspectives
