Interviews

The first interview is with my Mother, here is her definition of diversity and culture:

My definition of culture is what we do as a family. Our home life, what we eat, what we wear and how we act.

My definition of diversity would be what makes everyone different.

Interview II
 The next interview is with my friend Lisa, who is Jewish:

I think that culture is what makes us who we are. My culture is deep and has a lot of meaning to me, it is my family, their origin, why we are here. And the customs and traditions that brought us here.

Diversity in it's simplest form is difference. Why I am different from you, and what makes us that way. Everyone is diverse, and different from one another.

Interview III
This is an interview with my sister-in-law Sara:

Culture is different to each and everyone person and their family. I think that culture is what makes you who you are. Our culture is similar because we live in the same house, we both have a similar culture. I think that before I move in with your family my culture was a little different so I believe that culture can change, grow and expand.


My definition of diversity would be, how we are different from one another. And also how we should respect and appreciate difference.

I think that all of the individuals I interviewed had some idea of what culture and diversity is, and represented it well. We talked about diversity being and meaning difference, and everyone expressed that in their answer. I also think that everyone viewed culture in similar but different ways, my Mother described  diversity as what we do at home, which is very true. My friend Lisa and Sara both went into a little more detail when describing diversity.

Thinking about my family and friends culture has made me see how even though we are different we have the similar beliefs and values on culture and diversity.
