Why Is Diversity Important To You?

What is Diversity to you? I have asked this question and each answer is different from person to person. Most individuals convey the concept that is means “to be different” but to different degrees. Each response to the questions alludes that diversity is “Situation Related”. The is no clear definition of the word but there is an understand of what it can be depending upon the current environment.
