diversity <p> </p> <div id="ui-accordion-accordion-panel-10" class="ui-accordion-content ui-helper-reset ui-widget-content ui-corner-bottom ui-accordion-content-active" style="display: block;"> <p>Diversity includes all the ways in which people differ, and it encompasses all the different characteristics that make one individual or group different from another. It is all-inclusive and recognizes everyone and every group as part of the diversity that should be valued. A broad definition includes not only race, ethnicity, and gender — the groups that most often come to mind when the term "diversity" is used — but also age, national origin, religion, disability, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, education, marital status, language, and physical appearance. It also involves different ideas, perspectives, and values.</p> <h4>SOURCE:</h4> <p>UC Berkeley Center for Equity, Inclusion and Diversity, <a href="http://diversity.berkeley.edu/glossary-terms">Glossary of Terms</a></p> </div>
