Why is diversity valued? My interpretation of diversity is to show variety. In our country we are made up of multiple forms of diversity whether it is race, culture, beliefs, work place upon many others. I believe diversity to be valued as if there was no diversity there would be no growth in our country.

We need diversity in our society it is essential for these reasons. 2.What is ethnocentrism? In what ways can ethnocentrism be detrimental to a society? Ethnocentrism is when one holds their own culture hiring than any others. They believe that they are far more superior than anyone else.

To do that would be detrimental because when people do have such a strong connection with their culture and get knocked down for it by someone that feels they are more superior can really bring someone down as that sometimes is what they think makes them who they are. So to take that away from someone or put it down would be very detrimental to not only one's feelings they have with their...
