Diversity refers to the variations between and within cultural groups. A cultural group is made up
of individuals who share certain norms, values, and traditions. There are many levels of
diversity, often stated as primary and secondary groupings. The primary cultural groups are race,
age, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender, and physical ability. Differences play a role in how one
treats another person/group and how one is treated. Valuing diversity within society minimizes
conflicts and maximizes creative opportunities.
