Diversity

Equality and Diversity: Whether people want to admit or not we are all prejudiced. We all make assumptions about others that reinforce our stereotypes, indeed we look for evidence to support our biases. We’re all guilty of the occasional toss-away line that cuts deep, and we all have intolerant behaviours that are so ingrained we don’t even notice we’re doing them.

Diversity means differences in people. It is more than skin colour or ethnic background. Some ways in which people may be the same or different are:

Personality styles.
Education.
Gender.
Age.
Socioeconomic background.
Race.
Religion.
Sexual orientation.
Physical abilities.
Political views.
