Diversification

"So in the general economy of any land, the more widely and perfectly the animals and plants are diversified for different habits of life, so will a greater number of individuals be capable of there supporting themselves." (Darwin 197) Upon hearing this statement i immediately thought outside of the spectrum of natural selection and applied this to the diversification of people and communities. While attending my high school, I was able to travel to Costa Rica and Italy with classmates and teachers, all in attempt to assimilate a knowledge of the culture. I believe this greatly contributed to a better understanding of other people. This thought that with greater diversity of life styles comes greater knowledge applies directly to the concept of understanding. I acknowledge the existence of other cultures and wholeheartedly believe in the ability to assimilate one culture into another. this applies both to Darwin's natural selection and my point of diversity within cultures.
