Explanation of Solution

Diversity can be split into two levels based on the depth of analysis.

Surface-level diversity: Diversity based on age, race, gender, ethnicity, religion, and disability status, etc. This is what can be observed by looking at someone, and this is a broad form of generalized diversification

Every individual has a complex personality which makes everyone unique irrespective of their surface level diversity traits.
