Diversity

In our last class, we discussed the topic of diversity. This topic has mixed opinions regarding various things about it, such as whether or not diversity is good.

Diversity can be like a double-edged sword. It is good in the sense that diversity often promotes understanding and interesting new ideas. However, it is also bad in that diversity can become the grounds for possibly violent adaption processes for those who are not used to today's diversity.

This topic made me think of how far the United States has come in racial equality since the slave trades. Who, back then, would have thought that we would one day have a black president? :) Regardless of whether or not one likes our current president, I keep in mind that it is an amazing feat to have come this far in racial equality.
