Stuggles with Language Concerning Diversity and Culture

I guess my biggest struggle is just making sure I use the correct terms whenever I am communicating with a different culture or community. This is especially important for the mass media industry because broadcasters must tailor their messages so they can be received by as many people as possible. If I had a narrow view of diversity or used insensitive language, I would not become a good broadcaster. Going to a pre-school in downtown Little Rock taught me at an early age that not everyone looked like me. That immersion into different cultures at that school has been extremely beneficial when interacting with people from different backgrounds and lifestyles.
