Cultural diversity has always been a popular topic throughout history. In Germany, it all started after World War II, as more than 11 million immigrants arrived in the country. The term „cultural diversity“ has become more and more popular for several decades in Germany, and it is still on the rise at the moment, yet it is also a controversial topic.
Discrimination is not only a daily issue that many people are facing in every corner of the world, but it is also a harmful disease. It is an ongoing problem around the globe, and Germany is not an exception. While many young people are open to different social groups contacts and innovations, a lot of people turn their backs behind „learning a new culture“. What is indeed „cultural diversity“? What do young people think of „cultural diversity“? How do they benefit from it personally? What is their opinion on how cultural diversity contributes to society? Are we losing our cultural traits when we get together in a diverse world?
Discrimination and racism are, despite cross-cultural exchanges become more and more popular in modern times, an alarming issue of the world. However, I believe every young person is the captain of a better future. With its title Cultural Diversity & The Youth: What cultural diversity means for young people and how it positively influences them, this project’s major goal is to spread the positive impact of cultural diversity on the youth to the audience and eradicate the negative stereotypes towards differences in Germany. The target group is young people, especially students from 20 – 25 years old who are currently studying in Germany, regardless of their race, genders, nationality, marital status, etc. To help my audience attain these goals, I will bring a closer look at what cultural diversity means for them. Furthermore, the blog will focus on which positive impacts cultural diversity brings to the youth, how young people have changed by interacting with various cultures, and which ideas they have in mind about how cultural diversity positively influences society.
I plan to finish this project by the end of March, with the aim of uploading at least three articles per month, starting from the beginning of December. The articles will revolve around cultural diversity in Germany (its history, its present, its future), youth opinions about diversity and benefits that cultural diversity brings us in modern times.
