Personally, from my experience working in the industry, I’ve actually discovered something rather interesting regarding this topic. I’ve met multiple people from very different ethnic backgrounds. Many of which are not even citizens here in the US. However, despite being from different cultures and even different countries, I’ve truly noticed that everyone can contribute and provide their insight and work just as equally as everyone else. I work with many coworkers that either have broken english or speak a different dialect, but we are still able to communicate through “engineering”. When I think about it, it makes sense that in order to be an effective part in industry, we should all speak the same language and learn nearly the same techniques and skills. I will say however, the differences in cultures within my company has allowed many opportunities for each of us to share the unique parts of each of our cultures and strengthen the bond and connection each of us have, which in turn promotes a much more productive work environment.
