    In the article, “Culture, Not Race Explains Human Diversity” by Mark Nathan Cohen, Cohen elucidates the concept of races not existing and that there is an additional in-depth understanding needed to teach students the correct perspective to a non-racist view when classifying humans. He goes on to explain that us humans differ in a multitude of ways and cannot be simply classified or interpreted by the general standards that are usually set. Looking into the science behind it, he continues to clarify that even genetics can’t merely classify a human based on certain characteristics for being intelligent or how closely related you are to someone. There are so many combinations and factors that contribute to each individual that it’s not as simple as separating people into black and white categories. Cohen further believed that in order for this idea to be communicated effectively, a stress should be put on the understanding of culture.…

    Diversity is defined as the quality or state of having many different forms, types, cultures, and more. Being from a diverse environment is considered to be a valuable characteristic where one can acknowledge and accept the differences in others. This person whom had experience diversity is capable of being tolerant and open with others while one maintains their own opinion firmly. Therefore many different people are able to respect and look up to those who came from a diverse environment, or that is what people say.

In addition, cultural difference exists in the world because people have different perspectives of viewing traditions, beliefs, norms and different methods of expressing personalities…
