Cultural diversity

The term “culturally diverse” is often used interchangeably with the concept of “multiculturalism.” Multiculturalism is defined as: “…a system of beliefs and behaviours that recognizes and respects the presence of all diverse groups in an organization or society, acknowledges and values their socio-cultural differences, and encourages and enables their continued contribution within an inclusive cultural context which empowers all within the organization or society.”

Managing diversity is a key component of effective people management, arguing that it focuses on improving their performance. Their dimensions of diversity include gender, race, culture, age, family/career status, religion, and disability.[1]

Perception

Matthew O. Ward, Georges Grinstein, Daniel Keim in their book Interactive Data Visualization p.58 refers that:

“Perception is the process of recognizing (being aware of), organizing (gathering and storing), and interpreting (binding to knowledge) sensory information.

Perception deals with the human senses that generate signals from the environment through sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste.[2]
