Cultural Diversity

What is diversity?
- Diversity is the state of being different from others and a way to define one person to another. There are many facts that could make up diversity.  Some examples of diversity are religions, beliefs, cultures, appearances, languages and  personality.  Nationality doesn't count as one state that could be diversity because you and your neighbor which have the same nationality could be diverse. Diversity happened a lot around the world. Sometimes people don't respect diversity and people that are diverse to them. But in total, respecting diversity is really important. Diversity is really important to each of us because it makes a person stand-out, recognizable and be different from everyone else.

Why it is important to respect diversity?
- Respecting diversity is very important because of many reasons. One of the most important reason is to keep peace. If everyone understand and respect others diversity, there won't be so many wars about misunderstanding from different view of beliefs. This world would be a more peaceful place to live in, it also help the nations reduce the money using for war, you could reduce the amount of time you waste too. All those things would save up to a better future. Also, if you respect others diversity, the world could cooperate. Cooperation will make a very change to every single one of us. If one country needs help, others support and then when it time to help back, others will also helped them. I think respecting diversity will help the world we are living becoming a better place.

Tet Homework

I chose the topic "Grammy Awards 2011" for my Tet homework. The first version is from a newspaper called Muc Tim, and the other version is from a site called http://music.msn.com/grammy/

Similarities
- They both give the readers information about who is going to perform and got nominated at the Grammy in 2011.
- They both have colorful pictures related to the topic.
- They both don't have the dates that the news was submitted. 

Differences
- The newspaper has a writer name while the internet one doesn't.
- The internet versions have links that you could click in and know more information about certain topics while the newspaper version you could just read what they already have.
- The internet ones have more images that are related to it than the newspaper.

Question 2:
For me, these features could change the readers mind, firstly, the newspaper one has a writer's name so you could know who the writer was. That feature could help the reader have more trust in the news they are reading. That could give the readers a little reliability and worthiness for the newspapers. On the other hand, for the internet one, the pictures that they had could give the readers more trust that they know a lot of right information about the topics.
  Both of the news have features that could give the readers trust in the newspaper. The trustworthiness now depends on the reader if whether they have enough trust for each one.

(P.S: I did my homework for Tet but I accidentally post it on the blog for Ms.Patrice's class)
