Being In A Diverse Community Analysis

I was very excited when I saw this essay prompt because diversity is actually one of the main criteria that drew me into NC State. All throughout my schooling life, for as long as I can remember, I never attended any schools that were diverse. There was always one extremely predominant race or gender, and it’s something that truly disturbed me. I am excited to attend a college that is so diverse in many aspects, that I will be able to benefit from in multiple different ways. I will be able to learn and understand new perspectives which will help me gain an open mind and heart to be able to accept different kinds of people. I will be able to familiarize myself with different backgrounds and cultures, because I am so accustomed to my own, I

In Common hour, we learned about Diversity, Community, & Social Justice. We learned that Diversity and Social Identity are interconnected, one cannot exist without the other. Social Identity is one aspect of Diversity, while Diversity is based upon Social Identity. However, both of these concepts depend on whether you experience Privilege and Oppression. Like Diversity and Social Identity, Privilege and Oppression cannot exist without the other. On the other hand, it’s not necessarily good that Privilege can only exist because of Oppression because people, regardless of their own personal accomplishments, are judged and discriminated by others.

The diversity of NC State would benefit me by allowing me to experience new relationships and skills. I learn and develop through my experiences, and the mixture of the campus, culture, and nearby cities would give me that growth. These new opportunities

As an active member of the LGBTQIA+ community at DePaul and at home, I know quite a few trans* people, or at least more than most, and the one thing I am most concerned about is being a good ally. I’m embarrassed to say that only since arriving at DePaul I’ve begun to look more into how any of my words or actions may come across as hurtful or as microaggressions. I’ve had issues with my gender identity in the past, primarily because the concepts of masculinity and femininity are so antiquated and subjective, but I truly have no way of understanding the depth of oppression that people of the trans* community experience. The expression of my gender is fairly inconsistent and many people have labeled me androgynous and I have considered agender (someone whom identifies as being without gender) but I’m fairly comfortable (not perfectly) with my current identification. So everything from gender misidentification and discrimination due to the fact that I no longer repress myself by dressing and presenting myself in an overly feminine way has led to some really crappy stuff. Regardless, I have had so many benefits and rights granted to me simply because of my cisgender status to the point where it made it difficult for me in the past to see them. People usually use my correct pronouns without asking, I have bathrooms available to me, going to get medical help isn’t a production in which I have to be concerned about

Diversity comes in many different forms. Growing up in a small rural town located in the midst of the Bible belt the diversity takes on a unique meaning in the small community I live in. I am a Senior Lieutenant on the Hallsville Drill Team, which consists of fifty girls that are together for fifteen hours a week. In that time I realized just how diverse lives can be. Through the relationships I have built with my teammates, I have learned that even though most of us have grown up in the same town there are aspects of our lives that are uniquely different.

As a person who is very open to different ideals and processes, I strongly believe that diversity is one of the most important tools to success in education, work, and life. The area of North Carolina that I come from is very distinct in its homogeneity; Marvin, North Carolina, is a wealthy, successful community but ultimately lacks in diversity. Growing up in an area constricted by unvarying ideals and views, one may become out of touch with differing thought processes or approaches to different aspects of life. NC State is truly a community that is diversified by dissimilar attributes, and these distinctions are what make a community great. I believe that I will able to benefit immensely from the campus diversity by being able to collaborate

I ENJOY WORKING WITH THE ADULT POPULATION AND BEING An NP This role has allowed me to expand my part, and better serve my community by advocating for vulnerable, high-risk adult populations while DELIVERING quality and safe healthcare.

The chapter by Ruth Frankenberg entitled, "Introduction: Points of Origin, Points of Departure", argues that the way one is perceived in society drastically changes their experience and advantage over others. Therefore, white women are often distinguished by their whiteness which gives them a more diverse racial experience (Frankenberg, 1993, pp. 1). With being white comes various additional components that set it apart from the other raced women of the world. Moreover, being a white woman automatically links them to a more favourable position of superiority in the way that they are often identified. This means that they get certain benefits by being white, as colonialism positioned them to have a large portion of control and authority

Being raised in a diverse community has taught me to be compassionate, insightful, and understanding what happens in the real world. Growing up I was always very blessed to have two parents who loved and cared for me as much as they did, and who have blessed me with a life that everyone deserves. I am very fortunate that my parents have raised me in such a diverse community because I believe that it has shaped me to be the person that I am today.

I wanted to go to a black college because I wanted to go to a school that everyone was the same ethnicity as me. My college life would be a lot more fun because black colleges just know how to bring the excitement to me. This motivated me to be part of that excitement and open up more so I can do more things in college. Then they have the many opportunities in stem such as mathematics and engineering that I want to proceed in. Also, these colleges have a more family-oriented feel that shows that the staff really cares about you and want to help you through college. Then they have many clubs and organization that you can join and created long lasting bonds with different people. I want to join many clubs so I can experiences different tasks

On September 16th, 2010, my view of the world, the state of humanity and, my sense of security suddenly changed as my brother was murdered. When this tragedy occurred, I was in the first semester of my junior year at Xavier with a major in biology/premed and minor in chemistry. I was scheduled to graduate May of 2012 however; my anticipated graduation date came and went without me crossing the stage. I had lost hope that I would ever finally cross that stage and pursue my dreams; I felt completely stuck in place. However, since his passing not only have I graduated with my bachelor’s degree but my mother and I have started a memorial scholarship fund for people who may have gone through a similar tragedy and need help paying for school. Taking

Is America diverse? America might be diverse as a whole but how about in our local communities? There are many ways of defining diversity: ethnicity, culture, religion, language, etc. Diversity is more apparent in our communities now compared to the past, but it doesn’t mean we are fully diverse as individuals. In local communities, people often chose to be close to people with the same ethnicity, religion, background, and culture. For example, on the Eastside of St. Paul resides the majority of the Hmong population in the Twin Cities. They choose to live close to each other because of the same ethnicity, background, and culture. This creates segregation and limits diversity from happening in the local communities. Most people tend to choose

It's important to understand our diverse country as a result of the various different people here in the US. The reason for all the diversity is that this country is a free country, not like where most of the immigrants come from. This country is also rich in resources and jobs that any could be hired. The country has one flaw, which is that many people consider they are superior than you so they will treat you like complete dirt. They judge you because of your skin color, race, gender, culture, background, etc.. they find ways to make you feel worthless, which isn't right.

My diversity experience began on November 12, 2016 in Wilmington, North Carolina at the Jamaica’s Comfort Zone restaurant. I chose this experience because I feel I need to learn more about Jamaica, Jamaicans and their culture. Also, because there appears to be a large number of Jamaicans residing in various parts of the United States, particularly in New York, Florida, and Georgia (Atlanta). Prior to searching for an authentic Jamaican restaurant, I decided that I needed to do some research regarding the culture of Jamaica; and, as a result of my research, I discovered that the culture of Jamaica is quite interesting to learn about. In fact, Jamaica is a mountainous Caribbean island just south of Cuba (see Figure 1) with a population of approximately

I would greatly profit from and contribute to the diverse campus at NC State. Inspiration and great ideas are fostered by the sharing of different viewpoints and experiences. Each individual is born into this world with a unique set of characteristics. Throughout life we allow begin to form our own set of values and experiences. When faced with a problem each of us will solve it differently as we approach from a different angle. Some people will find a solution that is completely hidden from others. Only together do we form a complete picture of the issue.
