Cultural Unity To Appreciate Diversity

By Mark Rogers


There is long history of people trying to break free from cultural biases. There were years that were not as kind and as open as it is now. People from different countries use to encounter racial discrimination, because often times most could not appreciate what they could not understand. Before it was hard to see the beauty that is found in being different, but now the world has slowly shifted to accept and love even though they could not fully understand. Cultural fair nm, offers that experience for people from other countries, different religion and beliefs to understand and appreciate each other even with their unique cultures.

Culture fair is one of the most anticipated university events, it is when diversity is finally given the rightful recognition that it deserves. And when student from different parts of the world gets to appreciate each diverse culture. In these events they also share their traditions with other, most would say that it is fun to know about other people and their traditional ways in living.

They would share different art, beautiful music, and acknowledge each ones painful history. International students would wear their unique traditional clothes and prepare their national delicacies that everyone could try and share.

It is a lively event that marks the beginning of a deeper understanding and appreciation towards culture and traditions. As one would observe these events, are filled with joy and respect. It is hard to imagine that there was ever dispute and disagreement when it comes to culture.

Now here is the time when all would celebrate, dance along as Mexicans share their passionate music and feel pity, remorse as African Americans share a cruel and bias history. These individuals regardless if they came from the north, south, east, or western part of the world they are being embraced by society accepted as what they are.

In this event one might also be able to realize how devoted some culture is to their religion and tradition. Some even values the essence of spirit and thanks giving to their gods. With all these devotion one might stop and think what are you devoted in. Are you devoted to you family, you religion, or your dreams perhaps.

Besides one does not need to change their belief, just to experience other peoples cultures, appreciation leads to respect. And respect if not everything, it means the most to those who are seeking acceptance and equality.

To see that no matter how big the difference is there is always something in common. For many who have experienced other culture, they would testify to the fact that there is always something interesting in every culture, something worth learning and something worth trying.

It does not mean that the moment you learn about other culture, you need to forget about your own. There is this thought that in experience we learn, but it does not mean that you have to forget what you have known your whole life. Plus there is nothing to lose by accepting that there will always be someone different from you, and they will always have belief that varies from your own point of view.
