The philosophy of the primary school where I work is that every child's unique needs and abilities should and must be honored. Children's different learning needs and styles are incorporated into the curriculum. On an informal level, teachers are encouraged to make use of lesson plans that utilize different types of media and methods of evaluation. Lesson plans often make use of visual and kinesthetic aspects of the learning experience as well as more traditional methods that emphasize mathematical, spatial, and verbal intelligences.

Disparities and inequities are impacting families and communities of color in disproportional rates. The child welfare system is no exception. Solutions are as complex as the issue itself but finding new ways to engage with the families we work with can draw out a more comprehensive understanding of the issues and concerns they face.

Diversity has played an important role in Canada’s formative history. Today, Canada boasts the highest percentage of foreign-born citizens than any other G8 country. In Canada’s multicultural society it is important that any acts of discrimination are avoided since it can have grave consequences. Canadians are protected against discrimination by the Human Rights Act, which was formed in 1977 by the Parliament of Canada. The act ensures equal opportunity to individuals who may be victims of discriminatory actions based on a set of prohibited grounds such as sex, disability, or religion. This paper will discuss the legal issues in human resources in relation to the Human Rights Act and will focus in particular on the discrimination section in

I find that the concepts of diversity, inclusion and social justice to be important because they build on each other and have the power to change the world. When all of these aspects work together and are acknowledged then we are able to work toward changing social norms and creating aspects in society that are focused on equity, rather than equality. Of course, social justice should be the goal that we as individuals want to achieve in liberating areas of our that have limited and restrained others. I connect diversity and appreciating diversity with being the foundation to this equation of equality because individuals need to understand that there will be differences between people. I enjoy the statement on, “… Who is in the room?” because it starts to explain the variations in personal characteristics within a group of people. This is going to be part of my position as an RA within Resident Life because a floor’s residence are going to have wide range in their own diversities through their age, sexual orientation, journeys to get to college, race and ethnicity, etc. I am proud to have experienced the things I have and lived and go to high school in such a place like Aurora, CO to where I was able to live and embrace a diverse community. I came to define this diversity to be normal, but coming up to CSU and Fort Collins has shown me how much of Colorado does not have the same kind of standards. The next support beam to building this idea that works toward social would be

One action I will pursue to begin to seek familiarity with people with different backgrounds is by incorporating the knowledge I gained from the first four Ds during my interactions. I intend to begin striking up conversations with people of different backgrounds. I feel as though I can easily incorporate this into my daily life during lunch, when instead of sitting quietly and eating, I can speak to those sitting around me and enjoy the conversation that can ensue, keeping an open mind, as I enjoy my lunch. I feel as though I should naturally let the conversation flow, and let each encounter be unique, without using a preset script, or without trying to direct the conversation in a particular direction.

Rachel is a Native American woman who attended a top-tier law school. She graduated in the top 5% of her class and is now partner at a large law firm. When Rachel had her second child a year ago, she went part time at the law firm. She continues to stay abreast of the changes in her practice area, antitrust law, often writing articles and speaking on CLE panels. She also continues to mentor young associates at her firm. One of Rachel’s past clients is considering adding the firm to his company’s preferred provider list. However, the client doubts the firm’s commitment to diversity and inclusion given the paucity of women and minority associates and partners. He often tells Rachel that law firms must understand the “business case” for diversity. He adds that a firm’s lack of women and minority attorneys is a factor in deciding whether to add a firm to his company’s preferred provider list. Rachel has been

A salad bowl is not a form of blending, but a form of uniqueness that forms a whole in which America compares due to prejudice reasons towards immigrants. Many Immigrants face discrimination due to them not assimilating with the American Culture. The history of immigration goes back many years with many immigrants bringing their own cultural distinctiveness. The many reasons for immigrants to be discriminated against brought them many hardships and battles they had to face on a daily basis. It is these exact experiences of prejudice and discrimination of which helps shape their lives. Their pursuit of success is directly related to these endured hardships.

The individuals in society are who make social interactions. Within those social interactions, individuals create groups based on their similar interests. Unfortunately, those groups have evolved to become negatively influenced. Within these groups are individuals with prejudice, or negative attitudes about people from a certain group, who discriminate, or treat, people from other groups differently (Ciccarell & White, 2017). The individuals within a specific group identify themselves as a part of the in group also referred to as “us” or the people that belong and others outside the group as the out group also referred to as “them” or the people that do not belong (Ciccarell & White, 2017). In-groups appear to have a positive connotation and out-groups are viewed to have a negative connotation (Crisp, 2004). Jane Elliot conducted an experiment known as the Blue Eyes Brown Eyes exercise that expressed these interactions within society. Her experiment viewed the prejudice and discriminatory attitudes certain groups, specifically minorities, come across on a daily basis. Normally, individuals with brown eyes are the minority and individuals with blue eyes are the majority. However, in her experiment, she switched the groups to where brown eyes meant majority and blue eyes meant minority. Her purpose was to have the blue eyes or out group in this situation feel what it is like to be other than white in our society (Mukuka, 2015).

Discrimination comes in many forms. Discrimination and diversity are closely linked considering the reasons behind discrimination are what makes up the definition of diversity. Not only is discrimination made against gender, race, and religion, but it is also made of age, disabilities, appearance and in a lot of cases, women who are pregnant too. This is very much a reality for many employers. There are laws protecting acts of discrimination. This topic is so sensitive, that many employers implement diversity and discrimination into their mission statements. Many companies make it their practice to host training sessions to prevent discrimination from happening, then there are many companies who can’t afford such training for their
