Commitment To Diversity

According to the Equality and Human Rights Commission First Triennial Review 2010 “The Equality Act 2010 complements and builds on the provisions of the Equality Act 2006, which itself strengthened several aspects of discrimination law and set out the roles and responsibilities of the Equality and Human Rights Commission.”

Diversity means differences and variations, within in people for example different races, beliefs, physical appearances, age, capabilities, customs and gender and class.

I completely agree with you and I was also surprised about how people discriminate others in the health care system. Based on the research, Blacks and other people from racial groups “are less likely to be given appropriate medication for heart diseases or to undergo bypass surgery”. When I first read this, I was very surprised because I thought the discrimination rate is decreasing today, and most of the inequalities exist in workplace. Prejudices in health care system may cause some serious consequences if the patient couldn't get the appropriate treatment and attention.

Directing is a very powerful position. All directors, from the cinematic industry or from a high school theater company, determine who is considered beautiful, what is acceptable, which stereotypes will be perpetuated or dissipate. It was in directing for my high school that I discovered just how important a director’s role is in regards to inclusion and diversity.

I am an avid volunteer and my experiences beyond school have enhanced my expertise as an educator. My ability to be bilingual and my experiences in teaching in more than one country have proven to be an asset both in the classroom and on campus. I have a deeper understanding of what diversity means through my travels and have been able to build positive and indispensable relationships with diverse students and

When I hear the word diversity, I imagine the different colors of the rainbow each one representing the different skin colors, personalities, hair styles, food and a bunch of other things. Any combination of those makes us who we are and how we view the world. My philosophy is that you should be receptive and understanding to other people lifestyles and choices; you do not have to like everyone, but we need to be cordial and respectful. Diversity can be a challenge for some people. It is hard to accept the fact there are people different from you. My job involves dealing with people who are homeless, due to a mental illness, substance abuse or just terrible choices. 85% of the people we serve are African American. Luckily, I have never been

My goal coming to the United States was to have opportunities to get educated and to become part of something greater than myself. The challenge I have encountered in coming to the U.S. was the culture differences and language barrier here in South Florida. The Sunshine State offers a great deal of individuals not only in the U.S. but also from all around the world. As a twelve years old boy whose family lived majority of their lives in a rural area near Bangkok, I was never exposed to individuals from different ethnic groups or societies. I remembered my first day of school, where I roamed along the hallway, sitting in an intensive reading class, listening to words I am not familiarize with, school was very challenging and intimidating. During

I arrived to the United States on August 14, I landed in the afternoon in Dallas, Texas. Language was the first thing I which I had cultural shock. I knew I would be in an Anglophone country, but at the moment when I arrived and I could not understand anything, I entered in a little moment of panic, I was alone in the third biggest airport in the USA, with a delayed flight and with low battery in my cellphone. But I realized that the best thing I could do was keep calm and do my best.

Being raised in California I have been exposed to diversity in all aspects of my life, ranging from race to religion to disabilities. Growing up with severe visual impairment -- having strabismus and no depth perception -- has provided me with a unique understanding for people who grew up with additional challenges in regards to education. Due to this empathy, I was inspired to help people who endure these challenges in my community. This community outreach, in turn, greatly impacted me, shaping me and my outlook on communication.

Issues of diversity are crucial to a large urban district in Texas. All communications are sent in both English and Spanish, this includes phone messages, website post, and written communications. A parent liaison is employed at each secondary campus to facilitate communication between non Spanish speaking teachers and parents. Culturally inclusive celebrations are held several times a year. Professional development designed to help teachers learn Spanish are also available each

Significant commitment to citizenship through public service, school activities, community involvement, leadership and/or family. I can see myself supporting the multicultural environment within University of Georgia fully throughout my years there. I see myself as an open-minded student that welcomes and seeks cultural diversity everywhere and in almost anything I participate in. In fact, part of my criteria for choosing colleges was if the college of interest had a good level of diversity in terms of students, clubs and embraced various cultures, then I would consider it for application. I find it an expectation rather than an extra to be exposed to multicultural environments because my high school and my family are rich in diversity. At home, I am given a strong sense of my mainly Irish Catholic, and my grandparents tell me a lot about great-grandfathers and other relatives of mine that were of Irish, English and French descent. It was though my social experiences out of my home that I gradually found and sought out more multicultural knowledge. There are many clubs and groups within my high school that are culturally

Late sophomore year and the summer following, I volunteered at my community's family center. Most of my time was spent at the front desk: greeting and directing families, answering and assisting callers with their questions. For three days a week and 2-4 hours at a time, I was the first face families saw as they pulled open the doors, walked up the stairs, and stood before the front desk. When things weren't busy, I found myself stepping away from the desk to offer my help in things such as organizing donations, or aiding with the events that were held there. Here I developed relationships with staff, parents, and the children that came. I know my contributions to this community don't seem grand, and maybe they weren't, but I know that doesn't

Diversity Awareness should be important to all business organizations and business owners. Diversity in the workforce is extremely important because each individual is bringing a different perspective to the table and allowing an increase in productivity. Diversity in business is needed to have long term success and growth. In the 21st century, time has been changing and leaders/ owners need diversity to encourage new ideas and the continuity of their work. In certain company’s the idea of diversity can serve as the foundation of trust and respect between employee and employer. If the employee feels secure at his place of work, he is willing to further their career within the company. Diversity Awareness can be important outside of the organization

To become more involve in Diversity: I have chosen the development in the area to become more involved in diversity, am I an African woman and a U.S. citizen. I was born in the Ivory coast and I went to school in France. Diversity defines where people come from, and also their sex, race, and religion. When people involve themselves in diversity, they are able to learn other people’s cultures – food, music, dance, language, etc. The encouragement of diversity will benefit our society.
