Most people believe in the golden rule : treat others as you want to be treated. It is implicit that how you want to be treated is how others want to be treated. But when you look this through diversity prospective, you begin to ask the question – what does respect look like?, does it look same for everyone?
No right …so you should not treat people as you are treated.
Equation of the diversity: Respecting individuals from diff background + valuing or respect them+ with representing our business = Diversity
