Diversity And Honesty Analysis

Diversity was supposed to offer us respect and understanding. Yet somehow we ended up with so much resentment and confusion, so much division and discord, that for many, the project is ruined. The well of diversity has been poisoned. With a bit of effort and introspection, however, there is still great hope to pull off the impossible and unpoison the well and let diversity do the wonderful things it was supposed to do in the first place. Unpoisoning the Well, which is Part 4 of the four-part series Ourselves Among Others: The Extravagant Failure of Diversity in America and An Epic Plan to Make It Work, offers a game-changing plan to do exactly that. Drawing on real-world scenarios and offering a set of rules and guidelines that can be applied equally and fairly to ourselves and to others, this book concludes the series by offering an epic plan to reset diversity and push it in the direction it was always meant to go.

To help schools provide a good self-assessment on diversity Robert Shireman (2003) suggested 10 poignant questions colleges and universities need to ask when reporting their progress on diversity. The first question is to ask how the institution defines diversity and if their definition has a focus on gender, sexual orientation, religion, disability and other factors? The reason for the added focus is because, by just focusing on

One way to face this wave of diversity is to learn to accept and value it (http://www.online.wbc.org/Docs/starting/diversity.html). What is diversity? Why does it matter? Once this is

Diversity is an ongoing discussion in day-to-day life. Not many situations occur without diversity having a role. There are a multitude of topics that introduces or involves diversity, to include age, sex, race, gender, ethnicity and so on. Prior to participating in this Diversity Awareness class, I’ve always thought diversity was more geared around discrimination and racism. Through weekly readings and discussions, I have discovered that diversity is much broader than that. There are many countries that are mixed culturally

In Brave New World the leaders main priority is to ensure that everyone is content with their lives. Instead of focusing on honesty, everyone chooses to avoid the truth at all costs. Brave New World suggests that we should focus on other things, such as honesty, and less on happiness. It warns of the dangers of constantly needing to be happy which takes away from the full range of emotions that make us human.

The term diversity is not an uncommon word on campus, it is something we are looking for to ensure we are incorporating as much as we can everyday; in our conversations, hiring practices, mission statements, and more. But the conversation of diversity is not happening at the

Emphasized in 10 Reasons Why We Need Diversity on College Campuses is the expansion and growth of ethnic groups in America and the failure of universities to represent the population on their campus; America’s future workforce will be soon comprised of people of minority groups (Kerby). The county’s workforce will be inferior to other advanced countries if colleges don’t work to provide higher education for minority groups. By strengthening individual people, the society is collectively stronger. In order for this to happen, universities need to be focused on diversity in

Not until my summer spent at North Carolina’s Governor’s School did I truly experience diversity in a student population. Growing up in Lincoln County, with a modest population of approximately 10,000, left me with the opportunity of meeting people who knew exactly who I was, who my parents were, whose class I was in, and were almost exactly like me. Furthermore, being exposed to this type of people never allowed me to hear new ideas in person, as I only heard what beliefs had been passed down from generation to generation. However, my Governor’s School experience lead me to meet so many new people my age who came from all different walks of life. It completely opened up my perspectives and convictions to how I approach people, carry myself,

Over the past 25 years, society has shifted dramatically in a new direction. The demographic makeup of the United States continues to change drastically. Because of this change, everyone will be required to become increasingly aware of the people in their surroundings. Some may argue that diversity is based on gender, sex, creed, origin, or some other form of tangible trait however; diversity is much more than that. The American Nurses Association produces the Online Journal of Issues in Nursing. This publication has written several scholarly articles about diversity and healthcare. The article, Many Faces, Campinha-Bacote, states “Diversity. It is a word that means something different to each and every person”. What a great definition. As I continue to do research I am seeing more and more information about diversity and other people’s definition of what it is. One website I came across while compiling this research included http://www.diversityrx.org/ This particular site is devoted to providing resources to the community and healthcare employees about trends in diversity. This website is for anyone interested in cultural diversity issues. Healthy People 2010, is a ten-year

On November 4th 2017, a Promising Practice Conference entitled “ Education for a Diverse and Inclusive Workshop.” was held at Rhode Island College organized and supported by the Dialogue on Diversity, committee on college lectures, office of the president, the vice president of academic affairs and the Division of Community, Equity and Diversity RIc. The conference was divided into 14 workshop sessions, from letter A to letter N. I had the opportunity to register for one of the workshops although it was mandatory for us to attend.

The most surprising thing I’ve learned about diversity in this course is learned that diversity is very complex. We all come from different cultural backgrounds and it is interesting to analyze the amount of diversity in this country has. Diversity is essential to have better relationships with one another, but it can be extremely difficult to embrace diversity, especially when people have pre conceived prejudices.

My philosophy for diversity is that unity and a variety of cultures are essential in the modern world, and for the past two years, I have been a secretary in my school’s Diversity Club. Through this organization, we embraced the mission of educating people on different world cultures and celebrate them. University of Wisconsin-Madison’s emphasis on diversity feels like a match for my personal philosophy about diversity. The myriad of student organizations, focusing on diversity, allows me to share my culture and learn from others. Organizations such as Multicultural Student Nurse Organization and Indian Student Association will provide me with the opportunity to connect with other students committed to embracing the differences which strengthen

When reflecting on a Human Diversity course, I think that it is easy to say that being racist, sexist, or generally being against someone’s culture or upbringing, is wrong. That is not what I took away from this course. I took much more away. My idea of these concepts has broadened. I understand that we all have our biases, but I think that it is essential we do not let them affect the way we teach, or treat our students.
