While I do think that each of these twelve aspects will likely affect my thinking and judgment at some points throughout my life, I do agree that some of them in particular are more likely to do so on a daily or more regular basis. I think that religion has certainly played a role in how I view the world. Interestingly enough though, my religious views have also changed in accordance with how I view the world. I was baptized Catholic, but have since decided that much of what the church says goes against my often quite liberal thinking. Regardless of my specific religious affiliation though, I will always love and believe in God. The fact that I am an American has probably played a heavy hand in the way that I look at issues; and even more so in various world issues. I don’t like to think of myself an “arrogant and ignorant” American, but I do undoubtedly have a lot of pride for my nationality. The last aspect of the diversity wheel that I think has been a major influence in my thinking and personality is certainly the fact that I am a college student. The opportunity and ability to come to college is one that will enable you to expand your personal knowledge and experience in ways that will, in turn, probably change the way in which you look at the world.
