Choose the description that best represents diversity from among the following.

Diversity, as a concept in social science, refers to the recognition and acceptance of differences among people — differences in language, religion, culture, region, food habits, dress, etc. It does NOT mean discrimination (which is prejudicial treatment), nor similarity (which is the opposite of diversity), nor inequality (which is unjust differential treatment). Diversity is the positive acceptance of differences, distinct from inequality or discrimination.
