D is for diversity

Diversity is not about how we differ. Diversity is about embracing one another uniqueness." This is a comment bye Ola Joseph. To me this quote is saying that just because we have differences, it doesn't mean that we should treat each other differently. You might not agree with this but of course this comment will have many diverse opinions.

Diversity is what brings us all together. We need to share each others culture and if we think its strange for someone from a different to be our country, then we have no idea what we're saying. They have all the right. Its like what I said before they are doing what they should be... learning other cultures and sharing there religion with just being there. It can also be quite fascinating to see someone from the Middle East wearing a burqa because it really gets you thinking... what if i were her? They must also be fascinated.

Just yesterday I was in the mall when I noticed some women in burqas walking buy some Mennonites and she seemed so surprised that there were people like this. The funny part about this was that the Mennonites were so surprised that there were people like that. Ironic isn't it.

We as Canadian citizens are surrounded by people of every country and everyone's opinion so that we can make Canada better for everyone. And its important for Canada to have diversity, it makes the world know that anyone can come here and feel like there at home. And not to mention we are considered super friendly and welcoming.

At school we are also having a diversity day so I thought that this would be the best time to explain it. Diversity isn't just that wide range of different cultures it is a wide range of anything. In this case its colour so you will get to wear a colour that is stands for something for example leukaemia is the colour orange or Lavender is any cancer (all of them). These cancer ribbons are a perfect example of diversity because the are all different.

In conclusion diversity is all around us all the time and we just need to say "hello diversity and welcome to my life." If everyone does this then Canada, or even the world will be a way better place for everyone.
