Would you feel more or less connected to your community if everyone had a similar cultural story to yours?

 @9J37FR9 from California  answered…1yr1Y

I wouldn’t feel connected. I mean something like this doesn't matter to me.

 @9J2ZR4RRepublican from Florida  answered…1yr1Y

I'd feel more connected but less special since if everybody was the same nobody would be unique. There'd be nothing interesting to learn about others.

 @9J32877Republican from Nevada  answered…1yr1Y

I would feel more connected, but I would love to learn about other cultures too because I do love to learn.

 @9J326Y6 from California  answered…1yr1Y

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

Would the lack of cultural diversity affect your sense of freedom and choice in daily life, and how?

 @9HHJ726 answered…2yrs2Y

I support the idea of independent cultures but not as something that makes someone fundamentally different from another, more as an expression of the way people who has experiences like yours let those experiences effect their creativity and expression

 @9HHJ65V from Colorado  answered…2yrs2Y

The lack of cultural diversity would affect our population and people's upbringing views on racism.

 @9HHHP78 from Missouri  answered…2yrs2Y

 @9HHJVSH from New Jersey  answered…2yrs2Y

cultural diversity is important. if there wasn't different religions, genders, races, cultures, etc - we would lose our pride in ourselves.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1yr1Y

How would you describe the ideal community where everyone feels a sense of belonging?

 @9JQGQ3M from Texas  answered…1yr1Y

Simple everyone is friendly to one another and nobody is on edge anytime they go out

 @9JQLH69Democrat from Illinois  agreed…1yr1Y

Everyone has the right to be able to go outside and not be worried about if they are gonna get killed today or the next.

 @9JQLDM8 from Arkansas  agreed…1yr1Y

Crime and political discourse cause fear and discomfort in public, but if society could lessen crime and learn to cooperate no matter the political and ideological differences.

 @9JQGF3K from California  answered…1yr1Y

I think everyone should feel welcome no matter what is going on. I think people should feel like they always have a place here.

 @9JSRKRT from California  agreed…1yr1Y

An ideal community is somewhere everyone feels safe and comfortable. Since everyone belongs, no one has any fear of being ousted.

 @9JQKVYH from Alabama  answered…1yr1Y

 @9JQH3DD from California  answered…1yr1Y

Include different cultures and allow anyone to experience said cultures from theirs. Never discriminate against anyone and be open-minded, see how other people live day by day.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

Does the thought of multiple languages spoken in a country make you feel enriched or concerned, and why?

 @9H84VLG from California  answered…2yrs2Y

It is clear that I feel comfortable with the thought of others speaking multiple languages in a country to influence multiculturalism in this free nation.

 @9H84WPK from New York  answered…2yrs2Y

I have no problem with people speaking whatever language they want it doesnt bother me

 @9H84S5NCommunistfrom Guam  answered…2yrs2Y

No problem with multiple languages as long as a) everyone also speaks and reads English (that should be a legal requirement) and b) if anyone present doesn’t understand the alternate language English is spoken (that should be basic etiquette in organized collectives like companies,
Sports and government etc)

 @9H847TZ from Texas  answered…2yrs2Y

I think that understanding language is a valuable proposition, as long as it doesn't compromise the development of their primary language and socialization skllls

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

How would the absence of diverse cultural holidays impact your experience of the year?

 @9J7F92K from New Hampshire  answered…1yr1Y

I celebrate any group that is positive and nonviolent to express their holidays, etc.

 @9J7GLLH from Texas  answered…1yr1Y

It can deteriorate the cultural integrity and allow younger generations to be taken away from their heritage.

 @9J7FQ7F from Nebraska  answered…1yr1Y

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1yr1Y

How does sharing a cultural tradition with someone else make you feel connected to them?

 @9JGXTM2 from Texas  answered…1yr1Y

 @9JGXLTX from Florida  answered…1yr1Y

 @9JH2ZQ4answered…1yr1Y

Sharing a cultural tradition allows you to connect on a deeper level, because you share something that not everybody does. You have similar experiences of eating the same food, or having that same crazy aunt. It ties you together not just on the surface, but deep within your soul.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1yr1Y

What is one personal value you hold that you would want everyone in your society to share, and why?

 @9JBGM3G from California  answered…1yr1Y

Pro-Life, I believe that too many unborn children are being murdered every year. These innocent children didn't get a chance in the outside world. Many of these children too are also being murdered while heaily in the late stages of being created, with faces and legs already heavily developed.

 @9JBGF5B from Oklahoma  answered…1yr1Y

God, people say he is not real and it is all a lie but even if it is, we will all live our lives forgiving others and living in grace.

 @9JBGFJXRepublican from California  answered…1yr1Y

the trans-inclusive stuff and all the flags because its redundant and stupid

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1yr1Y

How might the way we celebrate personal achievements like birthdays or graduations change in a more culturally uniform society?

 @9JS7X2V from Illinois  answered…1yr1Y

It will probably be the same, however we will see how they are celebrated elsewhere as well.

 @9JSQ375Democrat from Illinois  disagreed…1yr1Y

A more culturally uniform society will create a cookie-cutter celebration of every single achievement.

 @9JS6G5Danswered…1yr1Y

 @9JS5ZS6 from West Virginia  answered…1yr1Y

I believe that there needs to be more support for personal beliefs and to recognize that we are all individuals and we all should be able to celebrate special occasions and achievements in our own way. I believe our society is becoming too sensitive to pushing belif systems on others and people are becomeing too defensive with people who are making an effort to not say things that are harmful, but it is taken the wrong way. We should all respect each other's culture, and want to allow others to be able to celebrate in the way that they feel they should for their own personal reasons. People tend to let their own cultural beliefs and religious beliefs get in the way of allowing for someone different to have their own.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

In what ways do cultural celebrations and traditions influence your sense of home and belonging?

 @9HHNYGF from Idaho  answered…2yrs2Y

Cultures should be accepted in all communities culture is an essential part of life and should be preserved and protected. They help all feel at home.

 @9HHNRBCLibertarian from Florida  answered…2yrs2Y

They're a huge part of feeling connected to my heritage. Experiencing other peoples culture is how I learn more about the world.

 @9HHP34H from California  answered…2yrs2Y

In response to this I feel like many families should have the freedom to celebrate whatever traditions and celebrations they have.

 @9HHNXJ2 from Texas  answered…2yrs2Y

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

Do you believe that children raised in a culturally single-minded society are at an advantage or disadvantage?

 @9H4S7PFProgressive from North Carolina  answered…2yrs2Y

I think they are at a dissadvantage because they want know how to interact properly with people outside of there community, which, depending on what they do for work ect, will become a pretty big problem for them.

 @9H4T3PW from Minnesota  answered…2yrs2Y

They kinda have a disadvantage, they don't have other people around them with other culture believe so they don't get to see what other people believe in and how it could be something you are interested

 @9H4SDP6 from Minnesota  answered…2yrs2Y

i think neither we should stop making everything about gender and race. people that work and have a heart will get somewhere in life.

 @9H4S35NConstitution from Arizona  answered…2yrs2Y

a disadvantage because the will not be able to do anything because there religion will not let them

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

If your closest friend had a completely different cultural background, how do you think that would affect your relationship?

 @9HDLKDB  from Utah  answered…2yrs2Y

It would make me feel more connected to them, and encourage me to think differently about my own life experience.

 @9HDLF7T from New Jersey  answered…2yrs2Y

We would live out our lives completely differently following different traditions and values.

 @9HFB9PC from Ohio  answered…2yrs2Y

I think if my closest friend had a completely different cultural background it would affect my relationship by trying to explain him what's right or wrong.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

Without cultural influences, how differently do you think fashion and personal style would evolve?

 @9HJCB3K answered…2yrs2Y

the world would not be inspired by others meaning new things are less likely to be created. People grow based off of culture and community without experience of others it cant change.

 @9HJBQWTRepublican from Colorado  answered…2yrs2Y

With the silly ah big red boots, the style and fashion of humans might be worse than caveman times.

 @9HJBH2N from Utah  answered…2yrs2Y

I think that it would stay the same because people wear what they think suits them.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

How important is it for you to see your own cultural practices reflected in mainstream society, and why?

 @9HDTYSVRepublican from Connecticut  answered…2yrs2Y

It is not that important to me because I believe that my culture does not need to be shared with society as long as it is known to me and the rest of the people involved in the culture.

 @9HDTR7GIndependent from Wisconsin  answered…2yrs2Y

Anti-Multiculturalism is a brain dead farce that operates on zero logical basis, if you don't want to see someone else's culture then that's too bad, quit being a baby. People should be absolutely free to represent themselves wherever they see fit, after all that is the entire basis of why we separated from Britain in the first place (taxation without representation).

 @9HDTF55 from Virginia  answered…2yrs2Y

I believe it is one of the most important things. How can we be expected to feel comfortable in a place where were aren't represented or accounted for?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

What unique traits do you think a friend from a different culture could bring to your friendship circle?

 @9HJGPBY from Texas  answered…2yrs2Y

 @9HJGWLK from Iowa  answered…2yrs2Y

 @9HJGYVFWomen’s Equality from Washington  answered…2yrs2Y

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

If your neighborhood’s cultural festivals were all similar, what might be gained or lost in terms of community spirit?

 @9HL2L2K answered…2yrs2Y

A sense of communion will be gained as everyone will feel included and a sense of togetherness.

 @9HL3G6SRepublican from North Carolina  answered…2yrs2Y

 @9HL2WNVWomen’s Equalityanswered…2yrs2Y

We can gain a nice community sharing the same culture and engage with one another on that aspect, but we lose diversity which isn't always a bad thing.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

What do you feel is gained or lost when everyone in a classroom comes from the same cultural background?

 @9HXCF77 from Ohio  answered…2yrs2Y

lost, there is no diversity in people in the room that come from different backgrounds.

 @9HTN46Mfrom Maine  commented…2yrs2Y

The ganing of this is that they can understand better with each other, but the loss is uniquenees in the classroom.

  @92VHLQ8Constitution from Illinois  answered…1yr1Y

Belonging

It reinforces a sense of a genuine community. That every individual is part of something greater than them, which existed before them and will exist after they are gone. You can never have this in a classroom where everyone is from all over the world. Such bears more in common with an international airport than with a community.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

How might the development of personal ethics and values be influenced in a less culturally diverse landscape?

 @9HXDBFL from California  answered…2yrs2Y

We see this today in America. THE reason why America is so great is because there are so many different world views all living peacefully under one government. As long as there is representation for all people, and respect and decency for different beliefs, I like to think that would be enough for everyone.

 @9HXCHSDPeace and Freedomanswered…2yrs2Y

The less culture that people are around, they tend to be pretty boring. Getting to know different culture and people is amazing and should be found everywhere.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

Can the presence of multiple cultures within one country erode the sense of a unified national identity?

 @9H868Q8 from California  answered…2yrs2Y

 @9H86B3K from Indiana  answered…2yrs2Y

No its just when people disagree and don't get along is when things don't go well.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

Do you feel a society is stronger when everyone shares the same cultural values, and why?

 @9H9J5GB from Pennsylvania  answered…2yrs2Y

Ultimately, the strength of society can be influenced by how well it manages diversity, fostering understanding and cooperation among individuals with various cultural backgrounds. Striking a balance between unity and diversity is often seen as key to a resilient and harmonious society.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

When you think of leadership, do you feel it's important to have multicultural perspectives, and if so, why?

 @9HX4RVXDemocrat from Wisconsin  answered…2yrs2Y

Our country is multi-cultural, so our leadership should reflect that. Otherwise decisions will be made in ignorance.

 @9HX4QFZ  from Arkansas  answered…2yrs2Y

I think it’s more important that those in leadership have a love of our country, and want to preserve what our country was founded on. I fear that multicultural perspectives may want to change our country into something that resembles a different culture - for instance, sharia law.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

If there were no cultural diversity in your school or community, what kinds of opportunities or learnings do you think you might miss out on?

 @9HDGB6Y from New York  answered…2yrs2Y

i might not be as open towards other ideas. and i might build stereotypes without being around others with different races, ethnicities, genders, and values

  @92VHLQ8Constitution from Illinois  answered…2yrs2Y

I would miss watching culturally diverse students beat each other with gym locks or two by fours

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

If you were moving to a new country, would you prefer it to have one culture or many, and why?

 @9HKS8CW from Indiana  answered…2yrs2Y

 @9HKS82RGreen from Utah  answered…2yrs2Y

I think anyone who opposes multiculturism misunderstand that the USA is a nation of immigrants, and everyone deserves to celebrate their culture and have it represented.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

Can a society truly achieve harmony without embracing the diversity of its members?

 @9H76HYGPeace and Freedom from California  answered…2yrs2Y

 @9H76579 from Washington  answered…2yrs2Y

no, without embracing diversity society and America as a whole cannot achieve full harmony throughout the members that make it up

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

What could be the psychological impact of living in a society that discourages cultural differences?

 @9HTYN4G from Nebraska  answered…2yrs2Y

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

Do you believe that experiencing only one set of cultural values would limit or enhance your personal growth?

 @9HXBZVS from Ohio  answered…2yrs2Y

It would definitely limit personal growth, there is no way to actually learn when it's all from one side

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

Imagine your favorite dish was no longer available due to cultural uniformity; what does that loss mean to you?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1yr1Y

How could the absence of cultural diversity change the way children play and imagine?
