This sound like diversity might be a common thing between diverse 
groups. In this case, diversity is universal. This reminds me on the 
idea that religious freedom was once a good idea - the diversity between 
diverse religions might in some respect be similar to the diversity of 
diverse groups and to the diversity of diverse geographical situations. 
This leads to a simple consequence: You do not have the right to tell 
anybody how to live, where to live and what to believe. And nobody has 
the right to tell you how to live, where to live and what to believe. I 
would call this a dogmatic undogmatism . So maybe the general right to 
diversity is an option?

I'm not sure how difficulties in public life might look like. One 
example: I have seen a lot of unethical public behaviour today: People 
driving around in fuel driven cars and flying in fuel driven airplanes. 
For me, that's a difficulty I face in public life and I have no idea how 
to overcome this difficulty. Do you mean something like this?
