, Chapter Two: Understanding diversity and culture - summary and
important points:
Diversity: A characteristic of every society
Diversity not only constitutes groups such as ethnic, race, language, and religious
groups. Individuals within every ethnic group differ from each other in important
ways. Within any one ethnic or race group, different viewpoints develop due to
factors such as geographic origins, socioeconomic class and gender. Personal
qualities such as personality, aptitude and appearance also make a difference.
Diversity therefore constitutes any kind of variety in humankind, including all the
above, as well as sexual orientation, disability, learning preferences, nationality,
educational level, age, marital status, parental status etc.
Culture:
Culture can be viewed as a composite of significant and interrelated factors, all of
which have significance for the teaching and learning process
cultures are processes of social and human interaction
cultures embrace a body of knowledge,
cultures are dynamic, creative and continuous processes,
cultures are created by people,
cultures change continuously over time,
every culture has its own system of values, beliefs, norms and attitudes
all cultures have material artifacts,
cultures have unique verbal and non verbal patterns of communication,
cultures are shared and learned, and
cultures influence the way people think, feel and behave.
Culture has many faces, some highly visible (Explicit), others hidden from
view (Implicit).
Explicit Culture: is easily recognizable in aspects such as food, dress, and
language.
Implicit Culture: Elements are discreet and hidden, such as attitudes, values,
and beliefs.
