GLOBAL DIVERSITY AWARENESS MONTH
October brings Global Diversity Awareness Month to remind us of the positive impact a diverse workforce of men and women can have on a society.
More and more, the world becomes a place where cultures and customs come together, and we are uncertain what is appropriate. Whether a question is taboo or the behavior, there’s opportunity to learn. When we ask questions and are open to learning, the path to two cultures being enlightened is likely.
Each week in October, we will highlight a different culture from around the world, so that you may learn and respect our diverse planet! Today we would like to introduce you to the country of Sri Lanka:
Sri Lanka is an island country in South Asia, located in the Indian Ocean southwest of the Bay of Bengal and southeast of the Arabian Sea. It is geographically separated from the Indian subcontinent by the Gulf of Mannar and the Palk Strait. In 1948, after nearly 150 years of British rule, Sri Lanka became an independent country, and it was admitted to the United Nations seven years later. The country is a member of the Commonwealth and the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation.
