Gender Approaches to Diversity, Religiosity, and Spirituality

Abstract

Diversity and spirituality represent two of the most important construct in the modern world. Humankind today is becoming increasingly diverse in manifold systems as manifest in immigration, ethnicity, works, schools, economy, social capital, sports, and religious institutions; and so are issues relating to wellness, health system, teaching and instruction. Similarly, there are kinds of diversity in terms of faith, gender, ethnic groups, cultures, race, qualifications, age, and physical appearance. It is generally accepted that we find it more comfortable dealing with people who are similar to us, and who have similar backgrounds to us. But unfortunately, the nature of the changing world animated by globalization has made the world become more and more diverse and complex. However, contemporary scholarship has progressively demonstrates that there exist a wide-range mentality about religion which also incorporates a mentality regarding spirituality culminating into diversity and complexity.
