Divali is also a major festival which is celebrated throughout the region not only by the Hindu members of the community but also by other religions. Christmas is also a tradition or custom that is witnessed every year since it signifies the birth of Jesus Christ. This was not a particular norm or aspect brought by any slaves but was one which was forced upon them by the British colonisers. They forced their Christianity on the entire region and if you disobied you were punished.
This is what makes us a multicultural region. Food is also a major factor since it showcases all the different types of food and spices which was brought to the Caribbean region.These food are not only meals or dishes prepared but also any type or vegetables or fruits brought.

Race is the classification of humans into groups based on physical traits, ancestry, genetics or social relations, or the relations between them.
Throughout the years many races and religions were brought to the Caribbean, with them came their different festivals which we all celebrate together as one. One such festival or tradition is known by many as 'The Greatest show on Earth.' In old school Carnival or 'Mass' the people of this community as well as back then dressed as the whites or planters as their civilized way of being rebellent and they sort to mock them. This was passed on from generations to generations as costumes were used to showcase who exactly were the whites. with this festival came the love for soca and calypso music.The subjects of Caribbean music include issues of love, death, tragedy, religion, belief, happiness, sadness, conflicts, etc. By having such a wide field of experience to draw on, Caribbean music is able to appeal to all persons in all situations. There are many songs which show tribute to the slavery days, the trials and tribulations which the slaves had to undergo. There is a link below showing reference to this such song.

This can be related to the recognition of the Caribbean Region. There are a lot of sports around the world where the West Indies have been portrayed or have competed in.For example,there is a cricket team which represents this side of the world which is called West Indies cricket team and consists of the best of the best from around the Caribbean Region.One such player which represented for Trinidad and Tobago in particular was Brian Lara.
There is also a football team for Trinidad and Tobago which is known as 'Soca Warriors'. This is just to name a few, nevertheless, it can be noted that these sports were either bought to the Caribbean by the indentured labourers (East Indians) or either the British/ Spanish with reference to the football.All in all it can be noted that sports is a major factor which contributed and still contributes to this Side of the world.

Language in the Caribbean region was influenced by people from all over the world. Some of which included Amerindian, African, Spanish, French, Hindi and American/ British.However,throughout the years the true descriptive and prescriptive aspects of the languages were lost or either the individuals who spoke it adapted hence,changing it completely.Their voice is so unique in this region that one word such as 'Jah' can be simply understood not only by Jamaicans but also by environs. Language is a very expressive form of medium used to showcase one's attitude or tone towards a particular topic. In the case of the Caribbean region our language consists of a lot of slang as referred to the video below.

Colonisation can be simply defined as one country or state taking full control of another by using forcing methods. This was done by various colonizers who came to the Caribbean region in search of wealth and power. Some of the colonizers included the Spanish, French and British. They were the first set of individuals who introduced the act of slavery. “Slavery is the involuntary subjugation of one person by another or others. It involves the ownership and exploitation of the slave by the owner” Colonisation was a major factor which influenced the varieties of culture which was brought to the Caribbean Region. This was so since not only did one ethnic group come but also a variety. They stuck to their true roots or identities which they bought with them hence it was passed down from generations to generations and this is why certain aspects of out ancestors are still with us today shaping our everyday lives.

The definition of cultural diversity refers to differences among people because of their racial or ethnic backgrounds, language, dress and traditions. This allows a student of Caribbean Civilization  to fully comprehend and grasp the  theory which follows: Cultural diversity cannot be defined as one thing; only by complex measured generalizations of an individual, group, family or community within a society based on race, language, dress, gender, sexuality, food, religion and traditions
