Conversation

I was reading about how some cultures strive for homogeneousness in their communities.

That's interesting! Do you think it's a good thing?

It can be, but too much homogeneousness might lead to a lack of diversity.

True, a mix of different ideas can really enrich a community.

Root Explanation

Homogeneousness → It is formed from "homo-" (from Greek "homos", meaning same) and "genus" (from Latin, meaning kind or type) and the suffix "-ness" (meaning the state of being). The word describes the state of being of the same kind or uniform in composition.

Memory Tip

Think of 'homo-' meaning 'same' and 'genus' meaning 'kind' — this helps you remember that homogeneousness refers to a state of being uniform or of the same kind.
