We’re not the same. Good.
Work is no place to discuss religion and politics.
But why?
Because we have widely varying views on such polarizing topics?
Shouldn’t we be mature enough to hold differing opinions and remain civil?
Especially in a time when the benefits of diversity have been made so clear, it seems like there should be room made for disagreements and varying opinions.
Perhaps this culture of avoiding conflict rather than having meaningful conversations is responsible for—amongst other things—meetings where no one engages or asks any questions at the end.
One thing that makes America beautiful and unique is the diversity of cultures coming together. The cultural melting pot.
The goal should never be culture or color blindness. Let’s express, acknowledge, and celebrate each other’s differences instead of pretending we’re all the same.
