Diversity in History

3-1 Discussion: Diversity in History

The understanding of diversity is highly enhanced through the different lenses of history. This is because each lens asks the question and gives the information in a different way, which helps in the examination of the topic from different perspectives as each of the lenses is characterized differently. For example, the humanity lens tells us about our past which helps in the understanding of how we got to the present (Sollors, 2018). On the other hand, the natural and applied sciences give us an understanding of our place in nature together with how nature is shaping us. The social science lens gives answers about societies and how they relate with people. Besides, it also interacts the other lenses together for better results in understanding diversity. 

Among the current events with the historical counterpart is G20 summit between president Trump and Xi in an agreement to restart the US-China trade talks from the link https://www.bbc.com/news/world-48810070 from_url=https://www.bbc.com/news/topics/cxw7qng7vx8t/china-us-relations&link_location=live-reporting-story . This is where the trade agreement between the two presidents – counterparts was reached. When this matter is looked through the humanity lens, we get to understand the past, relating it to the present and how the future will be concerning the trade relations of the two countries. When looking through the natural and the applied lens, we are able to understand how trade nature is being shaped together with what we can do to reshape the trade agreements between the two countries. With these lenses among the other lenses, we can get the different perspectives of the underlying cause of trade differences together with the solution that can be used to deal away with the problem (Lee et al, 2010). 

The relationship between history, culture, and diversity has great importance within my profession of nursing as different groups meaning people from different origins can learn from one another based on historical understanding. This enhances collaboration and cooperation in whatever is being done hence more achievement in making a difference in providing safe effective quality of care.
