1.) Diversity encourages creativity. It allows people to look for several different perspectives, which leads to better decision making and better outcomes.
2.) People who are different from one another bring unique ideas to the table. This allows us to successfully progress into new understandings.
3.) There have been many studies that prove the positive role that diversity plays in a group or team setting.
The most important thing I learned today is that 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.
