Diversity – Prepare
• Accepting diversity as a valued part of your life– We form relationships more easily with
people who are similar to us– Yet we can grow and be challenged
when we seek out people that are different from us
– Learn what motivates other people and become aware of new ways to think about family, relationships, earning a living, and the value of education

Diversity – Evaluate • Ask yourself the following questions:
– How do I make judgments about people?– Who are my friends?– Do I openly express positive values about
diversity?– Am I passive or assertive regarding
prejudicial or stereotypical remarks?– Am I learning about other cultures?– Am I evenhanded in my relationships?– Do I recognize that all people have the
same basic needs?– Do I look down upon other racial or ethnic
groups because I take pride in my own?– Do I look at things with different
perspectives?
