Diversity

I attended the GO Diversity event directed on Wage Equality on October 5th. I agree that wage equality shouldn’t be an issue between gender, sexuality, race or ethnicity. However I am a full believer in that if you have worked for skills and decided to give an effort to further your education, than you should be rewarded for your further knowledge.

When we first talked about Diversity in our recitation, we were all asked what we thought of when we thought of the word diversity. Myself, being the farm kid I am, ” Diversified Livestock” came up. It may seem juvenile, but look at it closer. On a diversified livestock operation ( the world) , all of the animals are fed and watered in equal care by the farmer ( aka our Father). They are all very different, but the ox/ cattle pull the plow, the horses pull the carriage, the sheep are used for wool, and the chickens for eggs. Diversity is a good thing and if every part of the farm works together, and doesn’t think they are superior to each other, then we achieve something greater for everyone, not just ourselves. It works the other way around too, if the cattle don’t help plow, the others are out of grain for food, the horses don’t provide for the farmer, then the farmer wouldn’t have any way to provide for the others. I know it’s an odd combination, but we are all diversified in how we think of diversity 😉

Have a great week!
