Diversity refers to the wide range of attributes, backgrounds, and skills that are in society. Diversity recognises that although people have things in common, they are also different and unique in many ways and it is about recognising and valuing those differences. Diversity consists of both visible and non-visible factors, which include personal characteristics such as; background, culture, personality and work style and also the protected characteristics such as gender, race, sexual orientation, disability, religion and belief and age.
This would be the appropriate comment to embed congruence, showing that we are real and genuine and to understand that we will experience diversity. In practice working with diversity means to become aware of the diversity between ourselves, the people we work with and the communities we serve. In class we have different genders, ages, races, and religions and these are the differences that we see. We define diversity as four fold: values, emotional, identity and physical characteristics, and others are emotional such as behaviour and style. Invisible difference includes values such as integrity and a way of life, and identity – also invisible – includes gay and lesbian and social class.
