Diversity depend on where I was raised and with what types of values.  Since I was born and raised in South Florida I have been a witness to some pretty diverse things.  I have experienced both public and private school, both being very diverse. Especially by making trips down to Miami and South Beach it taught me to never assume who people really are and that basically everyone is accepted for being an individual.  Obviously I am considered a diverse person because many people believe I am the stuck you Jewish brat from Boca, and to some extreme, yes.  But if you also look at me I could really care less what people think of me, the way I dress, or my pink hair.  I think what makes me such a diverse people and not so stereotypical of other people is the fact that I don't judge.  Its all in the way you judge people and you could and most likely will be wrong.  

Being a contemporary music artist I would attempt to be diverse as possible in order to be able to share my music with as many people as possible.  But I would have to include my beliefs and what I like in the creation of music.  I would not be able to focus my music on adults and children alike. I would have to pick what type of music I was interested in and then go from there.  I would never want to offend anyone with the type of music I would compose but I think I would aim for the more young adult crowd up into the adult years.  

Being almost forty eight right now would impact my beliefs greatly.  Considering I was raised around people only like me with the "different people" only taking care of my house and the children, I do not believe I would be able to be as diverse as some of the younger crowd.  I was raised with no sex while being a teen-age and to always try to wait till marriage.  Drugs were so different when I was younger, people weren't dying because the drugs weren't real, they would just die because they had an overdose.  I still get weird when I see an inter-racial couple, I just feel like I never saw that when I was growing up.  Throughout the years I have become more open to ideas, especially with my kids opening up my eyes. I allowed one of my daughters to have a boyfriend while so was in high school, which I never even imagined. I even voted for Obama! 

They are different because its three different people with three different beliefs. Me being myself I am open to anything and I just want everyone to accept people for who they are, just because you may not approve of certain things, does not make them wrong, because to me and the next person it could be totally right.  Being a music artist I do not want to offend anyone but I also know I cannot please everyone so I shouldn't try.  Being forty eight I was set in my ways of how I was raised but I am slowly opening up to new things with the help of my children and the changing ways of society. 

They are all alike because they are in tune with what is going on around them.  They are not closed minded to learning and discovering new things.
