How It Oughta Be (Shane Profitt)
A backyard ought to be a safe place for kids to play
Teachers oughta get doctor's and lawyer's pay
I don't know about you, but if you ask me
That's how it oughta be
Cold beer oughta be too cold to hold
Somethin' good about somebody's all that oughta be told
The world oughta try a piece of Momma's chicken
Feel the love around her tabletop in the kitchen, and
Oughta be off your ass when that anthem gets sung
All our friends oughta live to be too old to die Young
Ain't how it is, but I believe
That's how it oughta be
I think 87 octane oughta be 99 cents
A buggy full of groceries oughta be cheaper than rente
Don't know why it ain't
But if you ask me
That's how it oughta be
Cold beer oughta be too cold to hold
Somethin' good about somebody's all that oughta be told
The world oughta try a piece of Momma's chicken
Feel the love around her tabletop in the kitchen, and
Oughta be off your ass when that anthem gets sung
All our friends oughta live to be too old to die Young
Ain't how it is, but I believe
That's how it oughta be
That's how it oughta be
Cold beer oughta be too cold to hold
Somethin' good about somebody's all that oughta be told
The world oughta try a piece of Momma's chicken
Feel the love around her tabletop in the kitchen, and
Oughta be off your ass when that anthem gets sung
All our friends oughta live to be too old to die Young
Ain't how it is, but I believe
That's how it oughta be, yeah
That's how it oughta be, yeah, hey-hey
That's how it oughta be

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, in 2009 the American population was 80% white, 16% Hispanic 13% African-American, 5% Asian, 1% American Indian and 0.2% Native Hawaiian. It is important to note that each race contains various ethnic groups, and that the large numbers of the ethnic population can be credited to the significant immigrant population. Geographically, in the South as well as West, there are specific areas that have large portions of the total population that are a minority. Notably, close to half of the people in the West was a minority in 2010. California emerges as the state that contains the largest minority population at 22.3 million. Additionally, the years between 2000 and 2010, Texas joined California, the District of Columbia, Hawaii as well as New Mexico in having the largest population of the minority. Additionally, the examination of racial as well as ethnic group distributions countrywide assert that while the non-Hispanic white alone population is still the largest major race in the United States, it is growing at the slowest rate. On the other hand, the Hispanic and Asian populations have grown extensively in part because of moderately higher levels of immigration.
Culture is the lens with which individuals in a society assess everything around them, therefore. Cultural diversity matters because culture enables people to analyze what is proper or improper, what is viewed as normal or insane. Notably, when one encounters or associates himself with a culture that is not his, he may get a shock or get disoriented due to the different culture. Therefore, most individuals employ their culture as a basis to judge other cultures, thus the risk of people beginning to discriminate other’s way of life. Thus the need for cultural diversity, America as a country, as workplaces, as schools gradually consist of people of various cultural, racial as well as ethnic groups. Hence, as a diverse society, we can learn from one another, acknowledge different perspectives within the world in which we live, eliminate negative stereotypes, and personal biases regarding different groups.
