blanks from 29 to 33.
Culture is the lens with which we evaluate everything around us; we evaluate
what is proper or improper, normal or abnormal, through our culture. If we are
immersed in a culture that is unlike our own, we may experience culture shock and
become disoriented when we come into contact with a fundamentally different
culture. People naturally use their own culture as the standard to judge other
cultures; however, having our own judgment could lead us to discriminate other
cultural values which are different from our own because we do not understand
them.
Cultural diversity is important because our country, workplaces, and school
increasingly consist of various cultural, racial, and ethnic groups. We can learn
from one another, but first we must have a level of understanding about each
other in order to facilitate collaboration and cooperation. Learning about other
cultures helps us understand different perspectives within the world in which we
live and helps dispel negative stereotypes and personal biases about different
groups.
In addition, cultural diversity helps us recognize and respect "ways of being"
that are not necessarily our own, so that we interact with others, we can build
bridges to trust, respect, and understanding across cultures. Furthermore, this
diversity makes our country a more interesting place to live, as people from
diverse cultures contribute language skills, new ways of thinking, new knowledge,
and different experiences.
