There are some people who sometimes believe that diversity and inclusion are the same, but actually, they are different from each other. Inclusion will focus on the things that should be valued, especially when it comes to communities. For example, if there is a project that needs to be done, all of the members of one group are required to provide their own input.

But members from the other group will provide their input in their own groups. Diverse means that there are different types of people who may be included in the group. There is no discrimination involved. It is obvious that while diversity and inclusion are different, they can work well together.

Diversity and inclusion are two English words with a different meaning, but they might seem related most notably in their usage. Diversity is an English word that talks about the quality of being diverse or different in relation to things that are not common.

A perfect synonym to explain the word ' diversity' is 'variety'. Diversity is mostly used with words like wide, great, rich, etc. All these are meant to show the level of variation between things being discussed. Inclusion, on the other hand, is an English word that shows your level of acceptance into a group or set.

It simply means the act of including or adding. Inclusion means you have been included to be part of something. The major difference between the two words is that while diversity reveals the differences between various kinds of things, inclusion, on the other hand, is making you be part of something.
