What are cultural diversity?
Cultural diversity
A society - or a world -- that contains and supports many distinct cultures, each with its own particular strengths and weaknesses, its own language and
educational system, and its own capacity to instill in its members a sense of identity based on rootedness in their culture.
Cultural diversity is the quality of diverse or different cultures, as opposed to monoculture, the global monoculture, or a homogenization of cultures, akin to
cultural decay.
Having different cultures respect each other's differences
(Kenneth Keniston, 1998)
Global Village
A metaphoric shrinking of the world into a village through the use of telecommunications
Wikipedia
The phenomenon of the world’s culture shrinking and expanding at the same time due to pervasive technological advances that allow for instantaneous
sharing of culture.
(Marshall McLuhan, 1964)
