The Importance Of Diversity At Clayton State University

Diversity is the state of having people who are different cultures in a group or organization. Back home, diversity seem to never be expressed, probably cause the area was majority African American and White. I thought Clayton State University was the same as home but after living here on campus for two months my opinion changed. A diverse college can teach you things you’ve never learned. Knowledge and friends are great things to gain in a diverse college.
Gaining knowledge is the key to everything. You'll learn all the cultures and ethnicity of different people you meet. So far I’ve met a Christian Asian mixed with African American and an African American that has a White Grandfather. It’s interesting that you can learn things from different

people. I learned how to make origami bird from my new Japanese friend, Lou. He wanted know how to make beats so now I’m in the process of teaching him. The knowledge I gain will be very helpful in the future, especially in the workforce. Networking is very popular today. Basically, it depends on who you know when looking for a job. A diverse network of people is good thing to have. We’ll be able to exchange information, become close, and etc. One day that person would probably help me get a job.
People today do not express diversity. Most of society tend to stay in their social group because they are more comfortable. A classroom is one way for individuals to interact. College classes are more diverse tan a Walmart. I, so far, has had conversations with different people of the class. Learning new things from them can teach me some things I don’t know. College diversity is one type of diversity that is need in the world. From all of the different people and their experiences I’ve encountered I see now that diversity is very strong in college.
