“Well, I could be wrong, but I believe
diversity is an old, old wooden ship that was used during the Civil
War era.”-Ron Burgundy (Anchorman)
The concept of diversity encompasses acceptance and respect. It means understanding that each
individual is unique, and recognizing our individual differences. These can be along the dimensions of
race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, age, physical abilities, religious
beliefs, political beliefs, or other ideologies. It is the exploration of these differences in a safe, positive,
and nurturing environment. It is about understanding each other and moving beyond simple tolerance to embracing and celebrating the rich dimensions of
diversity contained within each individual.

How would you score your culture and why?
It requires no hatred or fear to interpret, or assign meaning (judge)
to the things that we see and hear… in fact it happens
automatically.
The problem is that we forget, do not realize, or deny that this even
happens.
Less than 15% of American men are over six foot tall, yet almost 60% of corporate CEOs are over six foot tall. Less than 4% of American men are over six foot, two inches tall, yet more than 36% of corporate CEOs are over six foot, two inches tall.
