What is social diversity? Social Diversity is the different factors that change our society. Factors such as religion, race, age, skin color, style, etc. It's is all the different factors that shape our society. Multiculturalism is how we accept and promote each culture in society. How we accept the Mexican culture mixed with other cultures in society. It is how some people celebrate Cinco De Mayo and others treat May 5th as another day. Social Diversity is really important to me because it keeps the world exciting. I have a lot of "lived experiences" that have bin important parts of my diverse life which made my life more exciting.
I think everyone in society shapes the social diversity in society because everyone is different. Everyone throws in their own little part to create a diverse society. A really important part of diversity for me was my class and the neighborhood I lived in. I am in the middle class and I totally enjoy it. For the most part the neighborhood you live in shows what class you are in. I like the style all my friends had living in my town. High school also helped me understand tons of diverse issues in society. I walked in and was suddenly surrounded by tons of different styles and tons of different types of people with different attitudes. It taught me to accept other kinds of styles and not judge people entirely if they have a different style then you. One of my best friends turned into a "Guido" but I still respect him and I'm still best friends with him. Since my high school was not a great school which had lots of gang affiliation and fights I had to learn what to do and what not to do. It is safe to say that my high school prepared me just a little more for the real world.
Since I decided to change my major from journalism to PE, I am interested in child obesity or some health issues. I am not sure if this is a social justice issue but it will affiliate with my major immensely. To me this is an important topic because it will be linked with my major. Children Obesity will also eventually turn into a bigger and bigger problem with the advancement in technology. Kids will be stuck on the games instead of going out. I can talk about how schools require students to have a PE class. I can also observe how many students are actually forced to be involved in gym class. I think many schools have PE class but many don't watch and observe there students during class. Soon enough when Playstation 10 comes out PE will be the only workout these kids will get daily!
