Diversity is a responsibility to be acquainted with and understand the variety of characteristics of individuals that make them unique in a pluralistic democratic society. These characteristics referred to are: age, religion, cognitive style; culture; mental and physical disability, economic background, education; ethnicity; gender identity, race, geographic background, language, physical appearance, political affiliation, beliefs, and sexual orientation. It includes the difference between cultural groups.
Authorities argue that one way people in a nation could live harmoniously is to understand individual differences. People have to appreciate others by understanding their individual cultures. But the problem lies on the time needed to understand others’ cultural roots. Much to their desire to understand others’ culture, time for them is of the essence for survival. Another factor for consideration on factionalism is people’s religious belief. People tend to interpret God’s laws according to their individual desire and understanding. Others refuse to accept the truth but instead go for their own ways.
Because of top to bottom management approach, thereby having no consultation with parents and teachers, school curriculum becomes a problem. Complaints arise because sometimes school officials are at a loss for having no idea of how they should be responding some issues.
These and such other problems on diversity could be solved by way of building a bridge for educational institutions that would promote diversity between and among students, teachers and the society they live in.
