{{Green politics sidebar}}
The prerogative to '''respect diversity''', often said to "begin with [[biodiversity]]" of non-human life, is basic to some 20th century studies such as [[cultural ecology]], [[Queer studies]], and [[anthropological linguistics]].

In various forms it is promoted by many [[political movement]]s, most notably [[feminism]], [[gay rights]], [[green politics]] and the [[anti-globalization movement]]. However it means somewhat different things in each of these. To some, diversity means bio-diversity and the existence of several distinct races and cultures. To others, diversity means the mixing and reunification of races and cultures into one, as per the [[melting pot]] idea.

Prescriptions to respect (non-biological) diversity are common in:
* [[community-based economics]], i.e. no one policy for all regions, especially all [[ecoregion]]s
* [[diversity training]] that is designed to encourage people to be aware of how different people perceive the world and how an awareness of this can  enhance efficiency of an organisation
* [[consensus decision making]] support

==Criticism==

The term and ideology is often criticized for multiple reasons. These reasons include the opinion that the tenet advocates [[black power]], [[xenocentrism]] and [[misandry]] ([[female chauvinism]]), focused too much on the [[victim]] status of people who are not [[male]] or [[White people|Caucasian]], belief that the concept threatens [[sovereignty]] (or even [[cultural diversity]] in itself), and inhibits [[free speech]].

Some believe "diversity" is a meaningless [[buzzword]] used by those who espouse [[political correctness]], or even a misleading world to support the creation of a [[one world government]] with a [[one world government|one world culture]].
