  7. Dimensions of Diversity

  8. Heritage vs. Ethnicity vs. Race Ancestry/Heritageis the process by which an individual acquires or becomes predisposed to characteristics of its parent. Through inheritance, variations exhibited by individuals can accumulate and cause a species to evolve. An ethnic group or ethnicityis a group of human beings whose members identify with each other, usually on the basis of a presumed common genealogy or ancestry. Ethnic identity is also marked by recognition from others of the distinctiveness of a group, and by common cultural, linguistic, religious, behavioral or biological traits. The term racerefers to the concept of dividing people into populations or groups on the basis of various sets of characteristics and beliefs about common ancestry. The most widely used human racial categories are based on visible traits (especially skin color, cranial or facial features and hair texture) and self-identification.
