Diversity In Houston

“Diverse” is probably be the most commonly used word to describe Houston. After all, we are the 7th most diverse city in the country and that diversity is seen in our cuisine, our colleges, our neighborhoods, our workplaces, and especially our music scene (Rhodes 1). There are a wide variety of genres being represented in Houston. Yes, Houston has the nickname “Screwston,” but there are also huge followings in other genres, like indie rock, alternative, jazz, classical, blues, metal, and even Afro-Cuban. It’s always interesting to receive a flyer for an up-and-coming alternative band show at Fitzgerald’s, one of Houston’s premier live music venues, and then as you walk

I do not believe Texas with its changing demographics and social climate will be on the brink of another switch in party dominance anytime soon as immigration, guns and education are major factors. The demographics of Texas deal with the rising growth of the minority population throughout the years. In my opinion, I think minorities make up roughly half of Texas’s overall population. According to utexas.edu, “[a]s the reality of demographic changes set in during the late 1990s, part of what defined many Republicans as moderates was an emphasis in both rhetoric and policy toward increasing the party's appeal to Latinos and other ethnic and racial minorities”. Although the Democratic Party is known for receiving votes from minorities, the Republican

Here at The University of Texas at Austin, we embrace and encourage diversity in many forms, striving to create an inclusive community that fosters an open and supportive learning, teaching and working environment. Our strength as a university draws from our wide range of perspectives and experiences, and we support a free exchange of ideas alongside thoughtful consideration of our differences. The UT Austin Division of Diversity and Community Engagement (DDCE) offers more than 40 programs and initiatives that support this vision, strengthening diversity on campus and in communities across the state, all while helping to shape the future leaders of Texas and the world

In Ohio there many different thing that makes us different as state. We said to be the most boring and we don’t have many interesting artifacts, but I think that there are many different things that you can find interesting in Ohio. There are many different historical regions in Ohio that a lot of people here don’t know about that makes us so different each city in Ohio have a different way of life because our ancestors were so different. This causes something as simple as dialect to be different considering how close to the south or how close you are to the north.

Although there are many different religions celebrated in Texas, there are different ways they were brought to Texas and how they're celebrated. Along with many other American states, its diversity is large. There are religious and nonreligious activities that are associated with Texas in general. Non-religious cultural activities are celebrations that are sole to only Texas or a specific region in it.

According to Josh Sides, author of “L.A. City Limits,” there are three reasons why the demography of Southern California shifted so much in the 20th century. Sides states that diverse racial composition, dynamic economic growth, and dispersive spatial arrangement are what makes Southern California what it is today. He believes people migrated to the Los Angeles area looking for a better opportunity for work and living conditions. In the book, Sides makes it clear that Los Angeles is the city where African Americans chose to reside in order to seek better living conditions. People, especially minorities, wanted to be treated fairly and they wanted to be looked at as equals. Sides gets this point across clearly when he says “…they wanted to be treated with respect, dignity, and equality in public…” It is because of these reasons that minorities began changing the face of not only Los Angeles, but the entire state of California.

The University of Louisiana at Lafayette is a cultural epicenter for Lafayette. With students from all over the world gathering together in an area around the size of 4 city blocks, our campus has two vitally important things: density and diversity.

One million people moved into Harris County between 1970-1982. This was the greatest boom anyone had ever seen; this was brought about by the increasing value of oil. In 1980 Houston was a one company town with eighty-two percent of its primary sector jobs tied into the oil industry. Oil was in demand at the price of three dollars and twenty cents in 1972 increased to thirty-two and fifty cents by 1980 Houston was booming, however in 1983 the oil industry collapsed causing one hundred thousand jobs to be lost. This would change the world as Houston and Texans knew it, where as in the past people relied on natural resources from the land such as cotton, timber, cattle and oil, they would now have to rely on their knowledge and skills. The

Are State Senate district 12, and State Assembly districts 24 and 25 racial gerrymanders prohibited by the Fourteenth Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause with race as a predominant factor in redistricting?

Diversity exists all across the United States. It is defined as the state of having people who are different races or who have different cultures in a group or organization, according to Merriam-Webster dictionary. Along with the ever-growing diversity in America, brings along intercultural communication. Intercultural communication can be defined as a situated communication between individuals or groups of different linguistic and cultural origins. Due to the limitless amounts of diversity and intercultural communication across the United States, misunderstandings and clashes between cultures are bound to occur. These clashes have been as extreme to be used to explain violence and crime not only in the United States, but also throughout our entire nation. On the other end, these cultural clashes can be so personal in our everyday lives because of our expectations of a certain behavior coming from our own cultural backgrounds, as many others have very different cultural backgrounds and expectations of us.

Katy, Texas is a town with abundant cultural diversity due to an overwhelming amount of people moving here from all over world to work in the energy industry. Only a small minority of the population was born and raised here making it among the most diverse places in the nation. Living and working as a grocery store cashier here has allowed me to interact with a variety of people in this unique melting pot, which presents an array of obstacles.

In Houston, there are no limitations of the food that can be found around the city. Houston is fully diverse with countless traditions that have been passed down. The best we learn about the cultures is through food; a realization that not everybody acknowledges. These cultures has even expanded to school lunches in Cypress and Katy, to be more diverse rather than just serving hot dogs and burgers. As a Hispanic teenager, I am pleased to have been exposed by the many meals and traditions of Mexican, Salvadoran, and other heritages.

Being raised in California has allowed me to experience and educate myself on diverse backgrounds, cultures, and lifestyles. California is a melting pot, a beautiful serenity of different people. As a social worker, we will have to work with a diverse range of clients and remove any bias to work effectively. I was raised into a family of different ethnicities, religion, and political beliefs. Though we have our differences, we can still come together to celebrate our lives. Also, as an LGBT person, I feel that I should be more open to diversity because many others have opened themselves to the community over the last couple of years. We do not need to understand fully the differences of others. We need to strive to open our minds up to things
