"Diversity"

    The United States of America has become a country known as the land of opportunity. People all over the world have come to this opportunistic country  to make their lives better. If we go back in history people from Great Britain came here to escape, so they could have freedom to practice their religion. All over the world, there is the idea that America is the place to be so you can be free to do what you want to do. This is the reason why you can find a variety of different ethnicities, races, or religions. When you find such diversity, you come across different cultures, ideas, and customs.
    Diversity has to do with having variety, or being different. Even if you’re of the same race, ethnicity, or religion there are differences in you from other people. Your way of thinking separates you from the people that have similarities with you.  Your beliefs can be different from your family and friends, it doesn’t matter if you lived with them all your life. You are who you are and that’s what makes you unique and different. You should never try to change what makes you stand out from other people, it defines you as a person.  If every one had the same way of thinking or the same way of doing things life would be boring. When you learn about another culture or religion it opens up your eyes to new things. Its even greater when you experience the culture yourself either by eating their food or being at a celebration. We are surrounded with diversity, and we ourselves can be diverse.
