    In all learning environments, individuals interact with others who are in some ways different from
    them. Recall how these differences were shown in your class tally – gender and racial, ethnic or cultural
    background (nationality, province, language). This diversity also comes from other factors like the
    following:
    1. Socioeconomic status – The millionaires’ lifestyle differs from that of the middle income or lower
    income group.
    2. Thinking/learning style – Some of you learn better by seeing something; others by just listening;
    and still others by manipulating something.
    3. Exceptionalities – In class there maybe one who has difficulty in spoken language
    comprehension or in seeing, hearing, etc.
