Diversity or Commonality?

Question

Should a society focus on what makes everyone different or what they have in common? My belief is diversity promotes an underlying serparation that prevents a society from ever truly uniting. Why don't we then celebrate the differences we all possess and bring then together for the common good instead of creating seperation by always stressing what makes us different.

There are many spokes to a wagon wheel, yet they all belong to the same wheel and each does its part to make the wheel whole and strong. If too much emphasis was put on any particular spoke the whole wheel would collapse.

Do you think we can ever get to the point where we proclaim what we all have in common instead of what keeps us separate?

Answer 3

Diversity in religion,culture,region,race,color ,language,s*x etc  are some examples of the SPOKES IN A WHEEL as you quoted.

Diversity can be put to use by developing a friendly atmosphere and mutual respect towards each other.Just as the fingers of a hand work together to get a task done, all people must come together for a common good. Ex: protecting nature , cleanliness, safe driving , educational awareness, medical help etc.

Answer 5

Politicians of all hues band together to milk

diversity for all it is worth to get what they want.In diversity and by promoting diversity they thrive.But the redeeming feature of this state of affairs is that the common man has proven that even in diversity there could be unity by simply coexisting and joining hands when it comes to a question of tackling a common enemy in whatever form.So, commonality alone is not a factor to promote

unity.It is human nature to be different and

similar depending on circumstances and

warranting situations.

Answer 6

we need protection or civil liberties and FREEDOM more than anything.

The n**i wanted unity.
