Diversity means differences such as different religious beliefs, different cultural traditions, music, art, dancing etc. In the context of society and

culture, diversity is usually mentioned in discussing multicultural societies. What do people from other cultures contribute when they

migrate and become part of a new society. Why should these different traditions and customs be valued? They enrich a society because they

allow people to experience different thinking processes, to see that there is more than one way of approaching issues or living one's life.

 Q24. Read the story below about the squares, circles, triangles and the rectangles. Add a suitable ending to the story based on the acceptance

And then everyone became excited. They all wanted to make something. The Squares and Circles made a train. A Rectangle made the smokestack. Some Circles made smoke. The Triangles and Rectangles made trees.

They all worked together and made a lovely house. They made things that were pretty. (e.g., sun, boat, Jack-in-the-box, houses, and flowers). They made things that were fun. Everyone had a wonderful marvellous, beautiful time. When it was time to go home, they all sang a little song! "We are glad, glad, glad! Being different isn't bad!" and they sang it over and over, all the way home.

The End.
