That way we can learn new things and gather information about them. Religion: Making friends, visiting places to study or worship in places of different religious practices. Languages: Learning new languages, for example Hindi, French, Latin, and Bengali or getting involved in cultural events like Eid, Hanukah, Diwali, and Ramadan outside of our own cultural events.

BTEC Level 3 Health and Social Care (p49-50) Write two or three benefits of diversity (social, cultural and economic benefits) Some of the benefits to an individual working in a diverse organisation are self-development, help generate ideas and solve problems, learn about different people’s cultures, increase of self-esteem, and learn ew languages and also people can learn that there are gay, lesbian, bisexual people out there whom we need to respect and value their way of life. The art delivers a valuable way of taking diversity to a wide range of audience. For example, a movie which is made in other countries shows different types of culture, race, religion, festivals, and etc. This is how people come about different cultural backgrounds of their friends, neighbours, and etc. Education has established so much in the past recent years with different cultures being explored and respected with the school and college curriculums.

Now there are various types of languages which are taught in school and colleges. Different languages benefits individuals who consider working in health and social care sector. It gives individuals the chance to work in a country which may be their favourite and learn more about that country by working there. The economic benefits of diversity in seen everywhere in Britain, from the clothes people wear to what types of food there is. There are many different types of shops in Britain especially in Whitechapel, Ilford, and Green Street.

We can do this by listening to them, doing research or getting involved in cultural events. If we gain knowledge about someone else’s belief they feel valued and respected because we have made the effect to do that.
