I went to the diversity even called A Business for Diversity! It was pretty much the last one we could attend and thats why I went so late. It was cool though. It was not about the human race, but about how there can be diversity between a group of smart people that think the same and a group of not as smart people that think different.
They took a group of smart people, ( by IQ scores) and group of not as smart people, and made these groups solve a problem. This is what got me. By statistics the not as smart group did a better job solving the problem. I honestly never thought of the reason behind this. The smart group tends to have the same thoughts and think the same. This is why they can not get as much accomplished because no one has new Ideas, they just tend to think the same. The not as smart group has many different ideas and thinks outside the box. Which obviously got them to solve the problem faster and better than the smart group. I was shocked by the statistics that showed almost every time they did this expirement the not as smart group always be the smart group.
This event opened my eyes to how diversity can not only be race, but many other things as well. It was very interesting and I enjoyed going. It makes you think of real life situations and how to think outside the box.
