Culture And Diversity

One’s environment has a huge impact on the person’s morals and upbringing. The culture that surrounds individuals allows and leads these individuals to join a specific social status or class. A person’s goals and aspirations can be attributed to the individuals that person surrounds themselves with. Culture and ethnic diversity leads one to have different religious, linguistic, and social background. The human race is so diverse and interesting due to the ethnical diversity that surrounds us. Different regions in the United States acquire different mindsets, food preferences, and everyday lifestyles.

America if a culture forever changing. You can see when stroll into town or in a supermarket, we see the diversity of our country. America is a culture of diversity. America is a culture of diversity because of the difference between religion, politics, people, their food, and even clothing.

The United States possesses a racially and ethnically diverse population. There are many people living within in the U.S. who all commonly share a cultural background or are of the same descent, mainly owing to the country’s immigrant population; each of these ethnic groups contribute to and play a major role in America’s cultural background. Whether it’s Hispanic Americans or Asian Americans, the United States is one of the most diverse nations in regards to culture and has a wide selection of different ethnicities. Due to the country’s broad range of races, the U.S. has continuously gained many benefits from the various cultures in society, the economy, and in so many other ways; particularly the evolution of American culture. Although,

We all are diverse in our own ways whether it is influence by culture, race, religion, or gender. Some would say my diversity comes from my culture but I would say it came from my belief of the way I grew up also. I was born in Haiti and grew up with different family members and Grandparents while my mom moved to the united stated and help seek a better life for me and my siblings. Even when we were around family member who also support us no matter what growing up without a mother always being there to refer to, taught me how to be independent not that I wasn't grateful and understanding of what my mom was doing it was still character bending. I either learned things on my own or through someone else’s mom. When I was at the age of nine years old my mom worked so hard and sent for me and my three other siblings. Moving

Culture and diversity play an integral aspect of the educational environment and shape students behavior. Culture also affects student perceptions and their relationship with people and the world around them. Promoting diversity is the goal of many universities but achieving this goal on a day -to -day classroom can be challenging for educators. According to Lowenstein & Bradshaw (2014), the classroom and clinical settings are deemed multicultural due to the massive influx of immigrants entering the country. These multicultural trends pose a challenge to nursing educators in creating the innovative curriculum that is culturally sensitive to meet the needs of diverse students. The 1960s’ and 1970s’ brought about significant revolutionary changes

I come from a small community, where there is not much diversity. Most people in my community share the same cultural beliefs. I have not traveled anywhere outside of the United States to even experience any other cultural customs. My only source of knowing about diverse cultures is through the news media. There is really no place to even meet someone with a diverse culture in my community. In my small community the majority of the residents are the same, except for the Amish that live throughout the community. I work at a hospital and often care for these individuals. I have learned some of their cultural beliefs and have found them to be very different than the mainstream Northeast Ohio cultures.

I perceive myself as a person that values a diverse culture. In my life, I was raised to respect and value the culture of other people. My parents would always say that every human being needs to be respected regardless of their beliefs, their social network, and their economic status. The culture of others varies and is defined as the language that the diverse people speak, the religion they believe, and the lifestyle that individuals choose. Furthermore, I’m from a country that has diverse communities who have different cultures, but also have some similarities. To value others culture is what I most respect, and do it my way of life. In a nutshell, people need to value other cultures because every society and community group

Since I started this class, I have a learned a great deal about cultural diversity in the classroom and abroad. My perspective has changed slightly but my knowledge of this subject has improved. In my family, my father taught me about the civil rights movement and the evils of segregation in the U.S. My parents taught me to be tolerant of all humans, no matter what they look like, how they dress, or their sexual orientation. My family has always been liberal thinkers who taught me the dark history of racism and bigotry in this country. As an educator I would be accepting to all race, creeds, and religious peoples.

Diversity in classrooms can open student’s minds to all the world has to offer. At times diversity and understanding of culture, deviant experiences and perspectives can be difficult to fulfill, but with appropriate strategies and resources, it can lead students gaining a high level of respect for those unlike them, preferably than a judgmental and prejudiced view.

In the nursing profession in order for there to be quality care there needs to be an understanding of multiple cultures. Cultural diversity is the “plurality of ideas and opinions for behavior to which people are exposed, adding to the texture and complicity of a society.” (Craven, Hirnle, & Jensen, n.d., p. 1396) Cultural acceptance and knowledge of diverity does not just begin in the place of employment, it is also important in the education of nursing as well. Diverse teaching and a diverse set of nursing students is what is needed in order for cultural diversity to be understood and for quality care to be met in the up and coming nurses. In nursing education there needs to be diverse nursing students, increased effectiveness in education with diverse nursing students, and in hospitals an increase in racial and ethical diversity.

The United States is a multicultural society in which health professionals handle people from various origins. Now the question is: “How nurses meet diversified needs of human lives?” Each day, nurses make optimistic changes in human lives by providing care. This holistic care includes each and every aspect of health. This includes, but isn’t limited to physical, intellectual, emotional, and significantly cultural dimensions. In order for nurses to provide transcultural care, they need to be knowledgeable to understand significance of cultural diversity and take measures to provide culture competent care.

Cultural diversity has become a strength within the many communities the results of decades of fighting for equality for all Americans. However, over the last decade there has been a dramatic rise in conservative, religious, family values groups, that have become no better than the school yard bully we all avoided as children. Psychological theory of essentialism, play a major role in the psychological makeup of these conservative groups, shunning anything or anyone that they simply cannot understand. Essentialism, supports stereotype prejudice, psychologically embedding the thoughts and ideas of these prejudices engrained into the psyche of the individual, making these stereotype prejudice a core value (Bastian, & Haslam, 2006). “People essentialize emotion categories by assuming that members of the same category” behave in the same manner, fostering a prejudice against people (Lindquist, Gendron, Oosterwijk, & Barrett, 2013). The psychological phenomenon of essentialism has virtually halted progress, encouraging regression and causing division.

When I started this semester I came into the classroom with a few preconceived assumptions. I assumed that I would be learn little more as I thought that I was already well versed in what diversity meant. This idea was not because I had taken formal classes on it as I am a Biology major and as a result only took a couple of classes concerning sociology or any other classes that would approach the material taught in a class titled ‘The Role of Cultural Diversity in Schooling’. Rather this assumption was based on my own identity as part of a minority. My family is Mexican. I am Mexican, having been born in Mexico. I’d seen and experienced first hand what it meant to be part of the minority. I knew, before I stepped into the classroom, I’d likely be the only Latino in the classroom, something that I predicted based on the demographics I had seen in EDUC 350 and EDUC 422. However my assumption was incorrect.
