TruthCo. Releases New Study, OMNICULTURALISM: 10 New Ways to Look at Diversity
Examining the Cultural Conversation on Diversity and Difference
NEW YORK, April 27, 2016 (Newswire.com) - TruthCo., a leading branding and cultural insights agency, announced today the findings from its latest study, OMNICULTURALISM: 10 New Ways To Look At Diversity.
Diversity is one of the hot-button issues in media today, but the way we talk about culture, identity, and difference is shifting. Moving past diversity and multiculturalism, Omniculturalism—the belief that difference in identity (e.g. race, sexuality, religion) is not a barrier to relatability, but is instead a normal, and expected part of everyday life—is second nature to Millennials and people previously considered “minorities.”
Breaking out of the logic that cultural difference like race or sexuality is niche or limiting, Omniculturalism demonstrates how Millennials have shifted the meaning of the 'general market.'
