Business Administration With A Concentration Of Human Resource Management

The most important core value for this case to me is cultural competence. The National Association of Social Worker’s (NASW) describes the importance as cultural competence for a Social Worker to develop “a knowledge base of their clients’ cultures and be able to demonstrate competence in the provision of services that are sensitive to clients’ cultures and to differences among people and cultural groups” (2008). This really seems to be key to this case because the school seems to have Heterosexist values, Heterosexism is having prejudices against those that do not fill the heterosexual norm(Burn, Kadlec, & Rexer, 2005). These values tend to have effect on not only the individuals that may be homosexual, but their greater family system. Often heterosexism can increase psychosocial stress for both the family and the individual. This is extremely common and can even be done through anti-homosexual language such as the things Miranda has over heard.

She goes on to describe how she grew up in a very open environment. Where her parents never even assume that she will like be straight. As a young girl she was thought the meaning behind many common homophobic slurs. She was in shock that people can go around just saying them. She tries to educate her peers but finds that to many of them don’t understand. The author goes on to understand that her world view make her see things different than her peers.

Setting the proper context gives due diligence to the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, (LGBT) community. It shows the great effort put forth in fighting for equality. Setting the proper context requires research of historical and statistical data, which are limited. A majority of the population wishes to suppress the efforts in achieving LGBT equality. Illustrating a historical overview creates a timeline of the major events leading up to the role colleges and universities have in the United States in bringing awareness to the social awakening concerning LGBT issues. By changing curricula, higher education raises awareness of its faculty and students. This provides a safer environment for LGBT students, and helps prepare heterosexual and cisgender students for the diverse world they will encounter after leaving their college/university.

Throughout the course I gained various insights about the LGBT community and those related to the LGBT community. There are three main insights that I gained from this class Intersectionality, concept of gender, and finally lingering bias in workplace.

I never take part in an open discussion about gay, transgender, and other types of sexual orientation. The only public discussion about this matter that I am used to is the unpleasant comment of my parents ' or my Pastor’s comments. I remember thinking that is going to be so strange to talk about sexual orientation in class. However, I cannot deny that I learn a lot from the subject in class. I receive a kind of knowledge that I didn 't expect. Being part of the class discussions and reading a book by Lauren Myracle open my eyes in many ways, which I will explain later on. I was surprised to find out that the world is not so much black and white anymore. Of course, I am not saying that I didn 't know about lesbian and gay people before. I am saying that other types of families are becoming more and more popular around the world. Believe me, I know that homosexual people are everywhere and they are normal people like us. They are people with a quest to make the world know that they are “normal” like every on else. Let me explain what I learn.

In my research paper I would be explaining in detail the research I found about my three

Lesbian, Gay, bisexual, and transgender make up one of the largest minority groups in the workforce but happen to be the least discussed when it comes to building relationships with employees. As a result, they deal with numerous challenges in terms of them coming out to employers, wage inequality, GLBT employee support groups, the effects of GLBT (non) discrimination on the workplace and business outcomes are identified as the major themes of my current review. Social institutions, legal frameworks, and cultural norms were determined as the key pillars of sexual orientation discrimination in the workplace.

Educators teaching their class content about lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender students will open-up the dialogue concerning conversations that may not otherwise take place. According to a study conducted by Bishop, “only 23% of schools whose school psychologists responded are educating their students about LGBT families . . . The practice tends to be less formal, meaning that it is incorporated by the individual teachers and is not a system-wide decision” (777). The curriculum should be enforced on a systemic level. The responsibility of teaching students to be civil and knowledgeable citizens falls on the school board, administration and teachers.Making it It is healthy for all students to have a wide spectrum of knowledge of people coming from different backgrounds and to have an understanding of them.

When Kristen began her speech, I questioned whether or not I would be able to relate to her message. I am not a lesbian, I thought, she is going to talk about coming out. This is going to be a long class. Despite my low expectations, I was pleasantly surprised with Kristen’s speech, as she began to discuss the issues of gender inequality and heteronormative expectations that I struggle with daily. Kristen motivated me to “do me”, and to define myself as an individual. I often feel too aggressive and forward for

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender. These are all names that are given to those in society who view themselves differently from the world because of their sexuality. The LGBT community has grown tremendously throughout the years. Worldwide, millions of people have joined or are joining this community to depict their pride in who they are, as they walk the brave streets of New York and Los Angeles in their new beginning. This life interested me. Their transition, their journey, their process, everything. I wanted to become an observer and and get some insight into their lives, perhaps even make some comparisons to my own. I wanted to observe their nature in public places and how people react to them. I wanted to view the role they play in society for the other LGBTs in the world and even the heterosexuals. To get an overall idea into this lifestyle I interviewed several people who are really involved in the LGBT community, people who went through tough pasts, judgment, depression, anxiety and more all because they wanted to express who they really are. These three people have stories that are serious and inspirational, stories that are perfect for me to express through my paper and to give the world a message about the lives of the LGBT community.

One common theme throughout the course of this particular dialogue is the overall acceptance and tolerance towards gay rights. For example, you proposed the scenario in which a woman did not want to offer her services to gay couples, and everyone in the class agreed that she should indeed be forced to offer her services. Christina even stated why do people care what other people do in their life? While listening to everyone’s opinions on gay rights, I got the impression that we are somewhat intolerant towards individuals who did not agree with gay rights. I witness this same intolerance in my everyday life. It has become taboo within our generation/peers in the United States to openly disagree with gay rights or gay marriage. If an individual does not agree or support gay rights, they are often face backlash and are scorned at. For example, when American Idol runner-up La’Porsha Renae stated during a press conference that she does not agree with the homosexual lifestyle, she faced immense backlash. She stated, “I am one of the people who don’t really agree with that lifestyle. I wasn’t brought up that way….But I do have a lot of friends and a lot of people that I love dearly who are gay and homosexual and they’re such sweet, nice people. We should just respect each other’s differences and opinions and move on.” Although her comment was respectful and simply expressed her opinion and views on the gay marriage, many people were displeased with her statement. She was forced

Quantitative research is simply an extravagant name for analyzing data with numerical values. While it does require numbers to calculate accurate hypothesis, quantitative research can be used to eventually create hard factual data. Within my current field of study, quantitative research methods are being used very frequently. I am studying in both business administration and human resource management and will identify how both fields could benefit from this research method below. Additionally, the pitfalls or negatives will be analyzed to ensure that there is a clear understanding of how best to use this method of research to the absolute maximum.

Throughout my time in high school, I lived in an environment that provided very little support for LGBTQ+ students. I attended a very conservative Catholic high school that viewed LGBTQ+ people as 'unholy' and 'blasphemous.' Being the only openly gay student in a school of 600 it was difficult for me to go out of my comfort zone in the fear of rejection. In college, I knew that I wanted to use my past experiences and privilege to combat oppression and to help voice the narratives of those whom are marginalized in our communities. Since making this decision, I have become the president of my university’s LGBTQ+ organization called BUKnighted, which has given me the opportunity to collaborate with students and faculty to begin bringing about systematic change on Bellarmine’s

Students enrolled in a general diversity course at University of Houston-Clear Lake participated in a poll regarding their opinions and thoughts regarding the identification of being gay or lesbian. Then, after just one semester of the class, the same students were asked to retake the poll. “Participants in diversity courses exhibited increased heterosexual privilege awareness

Before taking this class, I had some basic knowledge about genders and sexualities because I accidently took the junior cluster class instead of the sophomore inquiries when transferred to Portland State University. In the beginning of the quarter I was not interested because I thought I was going to be a repeat of junior cluster but I was wrong. I got to learned a lot during this class. This class was more discussion based whereas my other class was all theory and tests. I really enjoyed this class. Taking this class opened my eyes to many different and complex issues surrounding the LGBTQ community and the way that society imposes certain expectations on certain groups of people. I learned about the importance of language as a tool for people to express their experiences, the history behind different misconceptions and myths about different communities (Bronski), and why society is predisposed to marginalize minorities (Frye;
