Question

Describe and give examples of demographic, social and cultural changes that are responsible for the growing importance of diversity.

Answer 1

Demographic changes refer to the change in population over time in different areas. For example, the change in African/ Black origin has decreased from 18.9 to 12.2 from 1790 to 2010.Social change is explained by how the society has changed as a whole, for instance, in the past two centuries, slavery has been abolished and discrimination/ segregation is a thing of the past. Cultural change is a big thing in the US, there are billions of people in the US who all come from different cultural backgrounds. For example, before big explorations, countries were populated by people of that specific region; however today, everywhere in the world is populated by people of every culture.
