Diversity

Jimmy Carter once said that we have become not a melting pot but a beautiful mosaic. Different people, different beliefs, different yearnings, different hopes, different dreams. What the former president said is exactly what ASU is today. The module explained to us that there are people here from 50 different states and 141 different countries. We are exposed to all of these different cultures everyday. There is more to people than just the color of their skin. The video “All Orientals Look Alike” made it clear that not all Orientals look alike they have their own personalities, styles, and you can tell just by looking at their pictures.
Many cultures in the outside world is a reality, it is not just Americans here anymore. We are getting to the point where we need to educate ourselves with other people’s cultures. That way we can more appreciate their diversity. My major is Global business and the key word I pick up is “global”. I cannot go through a career in global business and only know about people in my backyard. I need to learn about all of my surroundings in order to be a more successful businessman.
ASU makes it easier for students to be more culturally diverse. Once and a while in the middle of campuses students will be promoting their clubs some of them clubs dealing with different clubs such as the Hispanic clubs. Overall being culturally diverse can only benefit you in the long run and ASU is here to help.
