This is my personal opinion as I have thought of how some things in the public realm are affected by TV, movies, videos. I assume you mean diversity as: the condition of having or including people from different ethnicities and social backgrounds. If so, we're on the same page.
I believe that the screen is the bigger factor. Why? Lets say that laws are passed and I will say behind the scenes, as not everyone votes and many do not pay any attention to any political and stay away from it. But I don't know of a group of people who fit the arena I just mentioned who do not watch movies or TV. I do realize that there are still racists, for example but of those who never gave it a thought and just automatically went with what the majority seemed to think and do, those people are affected by what they see on screen. The more they see of something, the more they tend to understand, not fear the difference and accept it. It doesn't work just for but the LGBTQ community for example. When I was a child, there was nothing on screen about LGBTQ. I remember looking out the car window and seeing two men in a passionate kiss on their front lawn. I had never heard of any such thing before and didn't know what to make of it. Since my parents didn't know any people like that, I was not exposed at all until LGBTQ related stuff showed on screen and got up my curiosity so I researched further on my own on the net. Growing up, my Dad worked with men from many different countries, Pakistan, Czech. Russian, Black, Asian, whatever you can think of and they were welcomed and treated as equals. My parents even had a bi racial couple as friends so the exposure was there for me to accept as see all people as equal despite their ethnic backgrounds. IF this is for homework, you may share my own stories and say its an older adult you saked. I am grandma age if that helps.
