Cultural Apprehension to Diversity

I think the biggest issue for cultures is to see diversity and change as an opportunity for growth. In the US we have a lot of diversity but we do not always see it as a positive influence for change. For many countries around the world they may not have as much diversity from people moving there from other countries but they still have the influences of other cultures through any number of media outlets and mediums. With all the opportunities for information to spread in a moments notice there is little chance of a culture to exist unaffected by other cultures.

Whereas the United States has been more open to change and diversity Asian cultures may be more resistant to change because of cultural traditions that do not allow for diversity to impact the culture. Changes in diversity would disrupt cultural traditions that are the foundation of the culture and define who they are. The US needs to be careful not to be so open to change that they lose their identity and Asian cultures need to be careful not to allow cultural traditions to limit growth of the culture.
