6.3. 3 levels of diversity tolerance
6.3.1. Level 1: Shun diversity ,Shunners are afraid of differences. It disturbs them that someone may have a different skin color, worship a different God than they do, because they’re convinced their way of life is the only way.
6.3.2. Level 2: Tolerate diversity, Tolerators believe that everyone has the right to be different. They don’t shun diversity but don’t embrace it, either. You keep to yourself and I’ll keep to myself. You do your thing and let me do mine. You don’t bother me and I won’t bother you.
6.3.3. Level 3: Celebrate diversity, Celebrators value differences. They see them as an advantage, not a weakness. They’ve learned that two people who think differently can achieve more than two people who think alike. They realize that celebrating differences doesn’t mean that you necessarily agree with those differences, only that you value them.
