Definition of Diversity

 
The meaning of diversity encompasses acceptance and respect.
It recognises that each of us is unique, as well as recognising our individual differences. These can be the dimensions of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, age, physical abilities, religious beliefs,
political beliefs, or other ideologies. It is the exploration
of these differences in a safe, positive, and supporting environment.
It is also about understanding each other and moving beyond
simple tolerance by embracing and celebrating the
rich dimensions of diversity contained within us all.





Diversity is a huge topic. To comprehend that each of the 7 billion or so people is unique is almost impossible. To be useful we need to have some understanding of the different ways that people are different, in order to be effective at understand and managing diversity.

There are several frameworks available to us when it comes to understanding those differences. Here are a few that might be helpful:
Developmental differences
Cultural Differences
Regilious Differences
Values Differences
Personality Differences
Representational systems
Gender differences
　
What does it mean to live in a diverse community?
Diversity is a group of many different things; gender, race, religion, and ethnicity. So if a community had a variety of all those different things, it would be a very colorful place. I believe that living in a diverse place with people living together harmoniously as a community is something we should strive for

Living in a diverse community also means that different people can see and learn about our different cultures. Then they will understand the cultures and see why certain people do certain things. Also, we will live peacefully as a community.

The romantic view is that advertising is powerful

It is supposed to persuade people to change what they feel, think or do. Otherwise why would companies spend millions on it?

Yet in practice this isn’t the case. Literature sports no evidence on many lasting, persuasive effects of advertising – at least not enough to justify a global spend of billions. Although people see or hear hundreds or thousands of ads a day, mostly they do nothing in response, so sales and images seldom change. Why else the incessant chest-beating about advertising’s lack of accountability?

Competent brand advertising generally does not fail, but people’s exotic expectations of its outcome do. Advertising lacks consistently dynamic effects, once again because of competition.

The attraction of interactive communication is...

that it is a return to the prehistoric human fascination with telling tales!

Since the beginnings of any civilised society the market place was the hub of civilisation, a place to which traders returned from remote lands with exotic spices, silks, monkeys, parrots, jewels - and fabulous stories.
Interactive Communication, properly executed, more resembles an ancient bazaar than fits the business models companies try and impose upon it.

People respond to interactive opportunities because it seems to offer some intangible quality long ‘missing in action’ from modern life. In sharp contrast to the alienation wrought by homogenised broadcast media, interactive opportunities provide a space in which the human voice would be rapidly rediscovered.

Unlike the lockstep conformity imposed by television, advertising, and corporate propaganda, interactive communication gives new legitimacy – and free rein – to play.
