Diversity to me is important in society. I am a believer in the idea that everyone is unique, which makes everywhere we go in the world a diverse place. Most people assume diversity is just dealing with racial issues but in different settings it can be a less obvious occurrence. Things such as hair color, majors, or religion make us stand apart from the rest. Just within our FIG we have people majoring in different subjects, we have different hometowns, and different beliefs. The fact that people are looked down upon for being different sickens me. Being different is what makes us unique and if everyone were the same there would be no point in getting to know people; you’d be friends with an identical version of yourself.
Diversity at Mizzou is something that I think is encouraged. There’s different clubs for different people and there is always someone like you to reach out to if necessary. I think racial diversity is least dealt with in society and schools because it can cause such chaos. Society preaches the idea of everyone being equal, however more often than not it seems like certain people always get special treatment. It is less of an issue then it used to be but Americans, African Americans, Asians, and other races aren’t seen as equals.
