Abstract

david brooks' "people like Us" is an analytical essay on the issue of diversity seen from the eyes of the author. brooks takes an emotional point of view of the way in which we take for granted how diverse our nation is although it is "relatively homogeneous" when looked at closely (brooks 423). He believes that it is our nature to group ourselves with those who we are most alike, and in doing so, separating ourselves from those who are different. Using certain statistics to support his argument, brooks points out that the segmentation created by us will always exist everywhere for one reason or the other.
