Cultural diversity can be defined as the cultural differences that exist between people such as, language, traditions, and the religious beliefs along with the way society carries itself. It is inevitable in the United States to notice the wide variety of cultures that with the years have come to share this land with Americans.

Diversity has many definitions but only one true meaning. This concept Analysis is dedicated to exploring the broadened sense of diversity through active concepts with respect to term usage, and current literature research to support the understanding and relevance of the term itself.

The term ‘Diversity’ means the state or fact of being diverse; different or unlike. Within equality and inclusion it is the difference between individuals and groups including: culture, nationality, ability, ethnic origin, gender, age, religion, beliefs, sexual orientation and social class.

This paper provides an overview of the problems facing the police in their efforts to improve relations with minority communities in the United States, as well as a survey of previous research and existing literature on cultural diversity

a) diversity is the differences between people based on culture, ethnic origin, nationality, gender, race, religion, beliefs, age, ability, sexual orientation etc.

Diversity is basically the condition of being different and many times people think diverity is just about race and culture, but there wrong. Diversity includes different dimensions Loden and Rosener (1991) Describe two major dimensions which are primary and secondary. Primary dimensions generally states things that we cannot change which would be like age, race, ethnicity, gender, physicakl qualities, and sexual orientation.

Today’s law enforcement officers are faced with difficult challenging issues. Being trained efficiently is most important so they know how to respond to the many different issues. According to Schmalleger (2011), corruption, on duty dangers, deadly force, and racial profiling are just some issues today’s law enforcement has to deal with. Multicultural society is one of the main challenges that police officers face on a day to day bases.

First, when speaking of diversity many people tend to refer the word to race, so the definition of race and it’s explanation should be known, (McNamara, Burns) explains that race has voluminous meanings, confusing many people in the real use of the expression. The biological definition would explain that it’s genetically alignment with distinctive gene frequencies with hereditary characteristics. The simple answer, we can see the differences between people of different races (McNamara & Burns, 2009). Seems like such a simple definition for such a complex problem within our society within the world today.

Diversity extends beyond race or ethnicity, religion, culture or newcomer status to include factors such as geography, language, politics, gender, beliefs, sexual orientation, economic status, abilities, skills and interests.

A diverse society has an increase in global contacts and interactions in all areas because there is the police who ensure that every person in the society receives fair treatment, meets their particular needs and does not discriminate on grounds of color, nationality, ethnicity and a person’s religious orientation. However, some issues are at the societal and individual level and also at the power of the organization and may not be controlled by individual law enforcement officer’s own beliefs (Brown, 2013). This paper will exclusively explore how diversity and discrimination are relevant issues in policing and how these issues have changed over time.

For this week’s discussion board I used the article; Pardon the Interruption: Enhancing Communication Skills for Students with Intellectual Disability By: Bayes, Daniel A., Heath, Amy K., Williams, Carol, Ganz, Jennifer B., TEACHING Exceptional Children, 00400599, 20130101, Vol. 45, Issue 3.

The major problem for the law enforcement is resolving the increasing death of young African American citizens. Restoring the trust between the police force and the community along with the dignity and accountably to the police department. Is highly imperative the solution would be to identify police forces, and bridging the widening gap between the forces and the African American community, in order to build and foster trust. In the end, there needs be an end to racial profiling of any citizen races such as Latinos, Jews, minorities and poor, will help build a nation/community that accepts diversity and all cultures. The police needs to recoup and revisit the areas of community policing, ethics, integrity, and cultural diversity. Hate crimes/ bias crimes needs to be stopped in order to rebuild that trust in the community. Community policing is an important component of capacity the community, which cannot happen until a relationship based on trust is established in good faith. Community policing is actually the system of allocating police officers to particular areas so that they become familiar with the local in such as patrolling. Another field that police need to revisit is the ethics and integrity which means the moral philosophy that involves systematizing, defending, and recommending concepts of right and wrong conduct. The next topic that police need to revisit is cultural diversity which is the quality of diverse or different cultures as opposed to monocultures.

Cultural Diversity can define as the state of being different relating to the ideas, customs, and social behavior of a society. When discussing cultural biases, we are all made up of our cultural influences and inherit some of the racial, and gender, biases of our society. “Everyone (regardless of race, gender, or sexual orientation) possesses biased beliefs, attitudes, and stereotypes toward others” (Sue & Sue 2013).

While diversity is often a term used to refer specifically to cultural differences, diversity applies to all the qualities that make people different. From a management perspective, the key to diversity is to understand how different types of diversity and different demographic characteristics can impact human behavior. The four types of diversity that will be examined are: occupation, differences in skills and abilities, personality traits, and value and attitudes. For each type of diversity, the impact on individual behavior will be described.
