Diversity umbrella is an umbrella under which everyone in an organization is included without any discrimination based on racial, sex, color and ethnic groups. Its purpose is to appreciate individual differences among people.
Answer 11:
The correct option is "regard people from different cultures as pretty much the same.”
A culturally sensitivity person is someone who understands that
cultural differences as well as cultural similarities exist between
people and does not assign them with any value (big/small,
high/low, good/bad, right/wrong, etc.). High degree of cultural
sensitivity will make sure that the person is indifferent towards
the cultural differences.
