Module 5.4 “ Sustainability and Diversity”

Diversity is a complex word. It is the concept of acceptance and respect for one another and their cultures or beliefs. It means understanding that each individual is unique,and recognizing our individual differences. Diversity relates race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, age, physical abilities, religious beliefs,political beliefs, or other ideologies.

The importance of diversity in relation to sustainability is the more cultures and communities’ work together to live sustainable and protect our environment, the impact will be great and it will increase the chances of having a sustainable economy. It also will help eliminate instability by all members contributing to the cause. In addition, every nation wants a strong, growing sustainable economy considering our current situation with pollution and limited resources.

Culture is also related to diversity. Each culture has its own ways of planting, farming and living sustainably. If each culture were to share their methods and practices with one another we would be able to maximize our resources and share the wealth and success throughout the world.

The most interesting thing I learned with this assignment is that there are so many opportunities for people to get involved with relating to sustainability, communication and culture. These organizations are making the effort to promote opportunities to help save the environment. It is amazing to see how many people do get involved. If it weren’t for this class, I would not be aware of such positive opportunities or have learned about the earth current environmental situation. These sites clearly displays that people are taking action towards saving the earth!
