Cultural diversity refers to variations among cultural groups. People notice differences related to language, mannerisms, and behaviors in people of different cultures, in ways that don't happen with people from their own culture. Subculture refers to a smaller group of people living within the dominant culture, who have adopted a cultural lifestyle distinct from that of the mainstream population. Ethnicity is used to describe "groups in which members share a cultural heritage from one generation to another." Personal awareness of a common racial, geographic, religious, or history binds people together, with a strong commitment to ethnic values and practices. Multiculturalism describes a heterogeneous society in which diverse cultural worldviews can coexist with some general characteristics shared by all cultural groups and some perspectives that are unique to a particular population.
