Abstract

This study uses the concept of diversity from Science applying it to Social Studies to understand the diversity of relationships and inputs present in human everyday living. Diversity requires a multi-ethnical, cultural, age, gender, religious background to be developed. This means diversity in relationships need diversity as a concept in all human relations. Diverse living and lifestyle can potentially support the individual through harsh periods meanwhile diminishing prejudice and intolerance. The present study applied the Diversity Survey Questionnaire (DSQ) containing 47 questions (40 questions using a 5-multiple choice scale ranging from always to never, and 7 questions with written answers). A total of 333 individuals participated in the research. The DSQ was created by Dr. Monica Mastrantonio to measure how diverse and inclusive a person’s life be can possibly be. The results were collected and measured using the Google platform, and automatically using metrics to reach quantitative results. The collected data shows that diversity has crucial importance in everyday living. Nevertheless, data also showed that people lack significant opportunities to engage in multiple life experiences. Participants also agreed on various aspects that can be done to improve diversity as a method of living. It is concluded that this survey brought important aspects in how people engage in a plural and diverse society, and what needs to be done in that direction.
