Importance of Cultural Diversity

Supporting Cultural Diversity
Cultural Diversity Supports Cultural Competence
Cultural diversity is important because our country, workplace, and schools consist of
various cultural, racial, and ethnic groups. To learn from one another, we must first have
a level of understanding about each other to foster collaboration. Learning about other
cultures helps us understand different experiences, and helps eliminate negative
stereotypes and personal biases about different groups. Cultural diversity helps us
recognize and respect ways of being that are not necessarily our own, so that we can
build trust, respect, and understanding across cultures.
Cultural competence is neither a discrete skill nor a set of learned facts about a culture.
Rather, cultural competence is reflected in the ability to recognize when and where
cultural issues might arise in the course of the delivery of student services (Ortiz &
Ochoa, 2005).
It is important that adults strive to be culturally competent because an individual’s own

culture greatly affects the way he or she views the world and others.
1. Recognize and understand that concepts such as family, gender roles, spirituality,
and emotional well-being, vary significantly among cultures and influence behavior.
2. Advocate for the use of materials that are representative of the various cultural
groups within the local community and society.
3. Avoid imposing values/beliefs on others that may conflict or be inconsistent with

cultures other than your own.

Bakit Mahalaga Ang Kultura? (Sagot)

KULTURA – Sa paksang ito, ating aalamin kung bakit nga ba mahalaga ang kultura at ang mga
halimbawa nito.
Ang kultura ng isang komunidad, lipunan, o bansa man, ay nagsisilbing simbolo ng

pagkasarinlan at kalayaan. Bukod dito, mahalaga rin ang kultura dahil ito ay ang pondasyon ng
tradisyon ng mga tao sa isang komunidad.
Ating tandaan na ang kultura ay isang mahalagang parte ng bansang Pilipinas. Ito ay ang
nagbubuklod at nagbibigay gabay sa ating mga Pilipino.
Nagpapakita ito na tayo ay may pinagmulan, may kasaysayan, at may mga karanasang hindi
dapat malilimutan. Bilang isang arikipelago, ang Pilipinas ay mayroong malawak at makulay na
kultura.
Dahil dito, naging kilala ang Pilipinas sa iba’t-ibang bahagi ng mundo. Pero dahil sa pananakop
ng mga dayuhan, ang kultura ng Pilipino ay naghalo. Subalit, naka-angat pa rin ito sa mga
pondasyon at katangian ng kultura ng ating mga ninuno.
lan sa mga impluwensiya ng ating mga ninuno at mga bansang sumakop sa atin ay ang
pagsasayaw, mga awitin, mga iba’t-ibang klase ng pagkain, mga pagdiriwang, kasuoton, mga
mahahalagang pangyayaring naganap.
PAGKAKAIBA-IBA NG
KULTURA SA PILIPINAS
Ang kultura sa Pilipinas ay
nagkakaiba sa antas ng wika,
paniniwala, tradisyon o kaugalian,
pagkain, sining, kasuotan, at
relihiyon. Isa sa halimbawa nito
ang "kapistahan", ito ay isa sa mga
mahalagang bahagi ng kulturang
Filipino kung saan halos bawat
linggo ay ginaganap ang
kapistahan sa
iba't ibang bahagi ng bansa.
Relihiyon man o kultural, ang
piyesta ay isang tradisyunal na
okasyon kung
saan nagsasama-sama ang mga tao
upang itaguyod ang pagtutulungan,
pagdiriwang, at paglago ng isang
komunidad.
Ang mga sinaunang tradisyon at
kultura sa Pilipinas ang naging
daan upang magkaisa ang bawat
Filipino. Ang mga tradisyon at
kulturang ito ay nagbibigay sa atin
ng maraming benepisyo. Ito ay
nagbibigay pagkakakilanlan sa
ating lahi; pinababatid nito kung
saan tayo nagmula at nagpapaalala
sa
atin kung ano ang humubog sa
ating buhay. Ang mga ito ay nag-
uugnay din ng mga henerasyon at
nagpapatibay ng relasyon ng bawat
isa, tinutulungan din nitong
ipadama na tayo ay bahagi ng
iisang lahi
na kakaiba at espesya
