Article Title: Valuing Diversity

This site in particular caught my interest because it really had some neat information about how diversity is taught to people and what it is. It mentioned that Diversity had two dimensions; primary and secondary. 
Primary: Is something that a person themselves cannot change; which is ethnicity, gender, culture, race.
Secondary: It things that can be changed but takes efforts to do so, which is like religion, ideas, personality, and style.
Also some four categories on how a diversity is valued.
This site has given me insights on how the difference of being different can be perceived and valued by its importance..

Article Title: Why Is Diversity Important?
I think this webpage is really well composed and full of unique information that I have not been able to find anywhere else. It informed me why diversity was important in the world and what it meant. I learned that diversity is the difference in people. For example: race, ethic, ideas, cultures, appearances, etc. It informs of how it is everywhere in the world, and where we turn it is present there even if we don't notice it. It gave me examples in diversity in school, workplace, and in public areas.

Third Topic Development


The big question when it comes to creating a Ted Talk is "What are people talking about now a days?", its also based on how easy they will comprehend the idea you are trying to spread.
Personally I think that people are talking about diversity in everyday life. Diversity is everywhere because everyone is different in their own way. There is no human being that is the same, sure maybe the same interest but never the same exact.
  I chose Diversity because I feel like its really important and it should be valued. People should be able to be open-minded and accept the differences in others. I feel like the people that don't or don't have the privilege to grasp the knowledge of the concept of "Diversity" become sexist or racist and are not able to open-minded.
Its something we cannot escape from because its everywhere we turn, we learn to accept difference at a early age because it can be difficult to learn in as we grow older.
