Cultural Diversity In NYU

I joined a program called SOCAPA (School Of Creative And Performing Arts) in hopes of becoming more independent and meeting other artistic teenagers like me. Almost every morning the actors took a morning subway to Manhattan where we’d take all kinds of acting classes at 440 Studios on Lafayette St. Every subway ride made me feel like I was an everyday NYC commuter in my twenties who took subway rides on the regular. We fended for ourselves-figured out our own meals, went grocery shopping, organized our dorms, and abided by a 10:30 curfew. Living in dorms made me feel like a college student. I met dozens of people that I never dreamed of meeting before. A melting pot of creativity and different cultures filled each square of the NYU Polytechnic University Campus. I came across photographers, actors, filmmakers, dancers, and singers. The diversity was outstanding-I was the only American in my dorm of girls from France, Panama, and the Dominican

The book also explores how despite immigration seeing as a normality in the Silicon Valley area, most of the interaction is shaped by differences in ethnic and racial traits. Jimenez explains that “the way that interviewees articulated the “us” and “them” in their lives comported with social-scientific research that emphasizes ethnic and racial differences as sources of both unity and division” (Jimenez, 2017). Although the cultural diversity is so ingrained in the community of Silicon Valley, this diversity is also a constant reminder of the racial and ethnic differences in the community which could sometimes generate negative outcomes. It does not only serve as a source of unity, like with the mixed culture it generates, but it also could

The variety of people and opportunity adds to the richness of the campus. The campus life offers the level of diversity I seek, the kind I can't find here at RCAD. The depressingly small, 1,200-student school prohibits me from learning anything about the world's cultural foundation, while NYU boasts excellent ethnic diversity. The atmosphere at RCAD is suffocating me. My growth is being stunted. I've done the research, identified my needs, and selected the school where I know I'll thrive. NYU has what I need to become the scholar, writer, and citizen I must be. The most significant thought for me is imagining myself ten years from now, frustrated and dissatisfied, constantly wondering "What if?" NYU has the power to fulfill me now, without any

As a bisexual man of color, with origins from Mexico and Puerto Rico, I am no stranger to diversity. I want to attend NYU because I desire a learning atmosphere that will nourish my identity, not tear it down. It is evident to me that NYU admits intellectually competent students who are socially, ethnically, religiously, and economically diverse. Walking through the crowded street of New York City during my campus visit, I looked up to the tall, imposing buildings, walked past diverse faces, and breathed in a gust of fresh air that smelled like street vendor food. At that moment, I realized that NYU is the fit for me because it is more than just a school ― it is a community of students filled with a vigor to learn not only from their teachers,

As a child raised in a foreign country, arriving to the US eight years ago, I frantically searched for something familiar. The familiarity that I looked for wasn’t what I found. It was individuals of different ethnicities, skin tones, religions, and ideologies that i found me. The trinkets they gave me – random words and phrases in their languages forgotten and retaught, insights into their worlds and cultures, and tasty delicacies- allowed me a new perspective, an open mind, and much clearer lens to peak through. The student body of NYU is undeniably one of the most diverse. While on a visit, walking between so many different individuals felt like traveling the world in the span of a few minutes. With such versatility of people and knowledge,

Kemi Llesanmi, director of the laundromat project(a project that tries to increase value of art in neighbourhoods in New York City) once said: “Through culture, new ideas are generated, diverse perspectives are unearthed, bridges are built between them, and civilization moves forward.” I think he couldn’t be more right.

Diversity on college campuses has increased, which has let people assume that racism decreased and acceptance expanded gradually, however minorities still face prejudice and discrimination. Harvard University presented a research where they gathered college students from 4 particular public universities and questioned them about the social behavior they have experienced or witnessed. In the contrary, they discovered that college students have encountered racist comments or negative facial expressions towards them from Caucasians (Caplan, page 31). This has led to propositions for instance, improving social conduct between children in school, more gratification in regard to one’s culture and positive outlook toward the culture of others because America’s obsession with race and racial attitudes continues to affect individuals emotionally. It is urgent to spread diversity at a younger stage of life, for upcoming children that are starting school. The need of role models around the nation is necessary and relevant to help multicultural education in the schools. Diversity has become significant since people all over the country are passionate about others knowing where they come from and making it possible of a more diverse society in the future.

Throughout history there has been a cluster of tension and conflict between police and minority communities within the United States. The job of a police officer is to enforce the law and protect all citizens regardless of their race, gender, or sexual preferences; however, more and more police departments across the United States are being accused of targeting and harassing those who are different. State and local police departments have been left to their own devices on how to police minority communities and improve cultural differences among their officers by seeking out a reform recruitment and adjusting policies in hopes to attract a significant improvement of minority applicants, all while training other officers in understanding

The United States as a whole is seen as the land of opportunity. New York is a major central for diversity and because of that many people from different cultural atmospheres have brought their families and dreams to New York City. Although Immigration patters throughout the last 200 years have varied, New York has consistently seen people from around the world move to the city and call it home. From the earliest points in our history as a nation, New York has been a center for trade and economic growth. New York is known world wide as a cultural melting pot. While other states have had immigration surges, none have compared to the diversity and sheer number of immigrants that have made their way to the City. This paper will focus on

College universities should actively strive to make their campuses racially diverse for the benefit of their students and society.

Living in New York definitely takes a toll on the common man. Symptoms resulting from the aforementioned condition include a nasty attitude, fast paced walking and defeated eardrums. Personally, I empathize with those three characteristics and then some. However, living in New York does have its beneficial side effects. As a direct result of New York’s exotic diversity, monstrous crowds and wondrous landmarks, I’ve transformed into an open-minded, stronger and observant individual.

Racial Diversity is described as the quality of having many different races or cultures represented in an organization. Racial Diversity has remained a constant battle on the campus of The University of Alabama since the time of the Stand in the Schoolhouse Doors. We have taken tremendous strides since then to expel acts of racism, but we must not foster clubs of exclusivity if we want to unite the Campus. Racism is a problem on campus today, as described by the “We Are Done” protesters. Other issues are: the Exclusion of African Americans in the traditionally White Greek system, and buildings named after white supremacy leaders. Along with the political coalition, the “Machine,” as problems that need to be addressed by our University

Even though you get all of these materialistic stuff but, something that intrigues about New York City is diversity and job opportunity. The American idea of a melting pot is correctly displayed in the city of New York. Walking in the streets you will find a black holding hand with a white while talking to a latino and calling an Asian. You will only find this type of collaboration of race and culture in this beautiful city. Even though New York City isn’t the most diverse city in the world but the borough Queens is the most diverse area in the world.

So today I am supposed to stand here in front of you guys and talk to you about cultural diversity. What exactly is cultural diversity you ask? It’s the diverse varieties of different ethnic groups within a society. So with that being said I would like to take this time and share with you some of the background of my cultural background, which is Italian. I wanted to cover the important topics such as, their movement to the U.S, The Mafia, and most importantly.. their food!

What is college? It is not a living, breathing creature nor is it a product. It is an aggregation of alumni, faculty, students, and future students. This aggregation separates NYU from every other college. To begin with, I love the cultural diversity at NYU. I want to attend a college where I can meet people from different ethnic backgrounds and learn not only more about them, but also about where they come from. NYU’s unique diversity comes from its incredible number of international students. Furthermore, a deciding factor for me choosing NYU is that it has the best study abroad program of any college, sending students to a wide variety of exciting places such as Florence, Accra, and Sydney. Additionally, I want to attend this school because
