Multiculturalism is the idea that people from all cultures should have a seat at the table and a voice in the debate. Diversity in the twenty-first century requires a dedication not only to a demographic shift as far as racial, ethnic, and gender identities are concerned; it is also imperative that we aim to establish an environment that is sensitive to and appreciative of the various constituent cultures that make up the community, whether it be the workplace, one’s neighborhood, r the sports arena. Promotion of cultural inclusion inevitably leads to a heightened sense of camaraderie and community responsibility by erasing those differences that are often viewed as obstacles to understanding and cohesion. If we have learned anything as the global community has become increasingly connected through technology and media, it is that varied cultural perspectives allow for the consideration and resolution of problems in new and innovative ways. Prejudiced, isolationist views that are founded on ideals of exclusion and discrimination are weights that will keep us rooted in a stagnant past and prevent us from stepping into the rapidly-evolving and progressively more diverse future. Join me in my mission to promote an environment in which all cultures are welcome and appreciated on their own merits, united by a common goal of prosperity and harmony.
