Diversity does not simply refer to race or even culture; it’s everywhere. We are all diverse, meaning we are all different from one another. The book The Other Wes Moore we see two kids with the same name, but very different lives that they live. Wes and Wes are similar in ways, but in the end turn out nothing like each other. One chose to lead his life in a better path, while the other sticks with a path that ultimately destructs his life. In this paper, I will discuss what diversity means to me, messages that I learned about various minorities or majorities when I was a child, if my views have changed, when diversity influenced my life, and the situation when it influenced me. Some other things that I will discuss also are the main characters of the book, examples of diversity involving the main characters, and which character I related with the most in this book.

Diversity is about difference, and its value is richness and variety that different people bring to society.

After reading, Breaking Night by Liz Murray, it left me in all, in a swing of emotions but thrilled in the end. To listen to Liz struggle and pain that she endured as a child and being homeless during her teenage years made me look a life in a whole different way and made me appreciate my life so much more. I could never imagine going through the obstacles Liz was thrown with, such as, drug addictive parents with AIDS, the pressure of taking care of everyone but herself, juggling school and more. It made me realize that my life isn’t so bad, that there are people going through worse situations than I am and to appreciate the little things that I do have.

In the beginning of night we meet a 12 year old jewish boy named Elie. Elie lives in the town of Sighet he also lives with his parents and two older sisters, I actually find that quite ironic because I have two older sisters. He also has a cabbala teacher named moshe the beadle who is often described as awkward. Moshe is deported by the hungarians because he was a jew. After several months in captivity Moshe returns telling stories of how at the Polish border the jews were handed over to the Nazis and were forced to dig their own graves and were killed. But no one in the town believes his stories of mass killings. I can actually accept the fact that they did not believe him because what they were doing to the jews was inconceivable. Later once

The experience that I encountered with Tim Wise’s lecture will stick with me forever. Before this lecture I didn’t have any idea about how big of a problem diversity is and how people face it everyday. The example that he gave should me real life experiences that people face and made me open up my horizons on how diversity is experienced differently for everyone.

Diversity means difference as everyone is very different no one is the same, for example twins may be identical but be totally different and have different interests and different stages off development.

Elie Wiesel’s Night details the experience of a Jewish man whose life is taken control of by the Germans in a concentration camp during the Holocaust. The past gives the individual the information about religions and its values. Initially, learning the history of Judaism Eliezer develops a devout attraction to the Almighty, but later on, his experience in the concentration camp contributes to his skepticism of God. When he sees the innocent Jews subject to torture he loses his faith in God. History represents the war between two kind of people: one who is in a position of power and the other who is defenseless. The Holocaust was a battleground for such people; it was the struggle to survive between the weak Jews and the strong Germans. Furthermore, the atrocities committed by the Germans during the 19th century make the present society aware of their savage soul. During the Holocaust, Jews were imprisoned and exploited by the Germans and were treated very

Diversity comes in many different forms. Growing up in a small rural town located in the midst of the Bible belt the diversity takes on a unique meaning in the small community I live in. I am a Senior Lieutenant on the Hallsville Drill Team, which consists of fifty girls that are together for fifteen hours a week. In that time I realized just how diverse lives can be. Through the relationships I have built with my teammates, I have learned that even though most of us have grown up in the same town there are aspects of our lives that are uniquely different.
