Body paragraph 4 Pros and cons of diversity
Pros to diversity
People from various backgrounds and cultures don’t think or work alike, thus it encourages more outside-the-box thinking that leads to new inventions and discoveries. It provides stimuli for thought as other cultures present new experiences, new fashions, different cuisine and linguistic accents which is all the good part. Everything we see around us has been influenced in some way by different cultures – our clothes, daily routine, music, food, art, sport and poetry are all as they are because they have been mixed with our knowledge of different cultural features. The benefits of living in a diverse society are that you get to meet new people and learn interesting things about them. People get a chance to understand others. This could help people become less racist and also you can get a chance to learn variety of new languages. You can get a chance to widen your knowledge about the outside world by learning interesting facts from people from different cultures. It makes life more interesting and less repetitive.
Cons to diversity
People often feel confused, threatened or even annoyed by individuals with views and backgrounds very different from their own. It creates a bad political atmosphere that hinders advancements. Decision-making can be delayed due to diverging views and opinions, thus mutual decisions and actions take time. Moreover, different cultural identities and values, or simply said when people lack things in common, could negatively affect the overall team spirit that leads to conflict, misunderstandings and racism. Differences in languages and physical viewpoints confuse situations and misunderstandings
