Identity and Diversity

Identity refers to the unique attributes, experiences, and characteristics that define an individual, such as their background, beliefs, or personality. Diversity encompasses the variety of these identities within a group, including differences in race, ethnicity, gender, age, abilities, and perspectives. Recognizing both identity and diversity highlights the importance of respecting individual differences while appreciating how varied backgrounds enrich communities, workplaces, and society as a whole. Together, they promote understanding, inclusion, and the value of multiple viewpoints.
