Diversity Is Diversity Inevitable

Jopwell is a recruiting firm which connects the minority job candidates with the Tech companies in Silicon Valley. The main issue faced by the Tech companies is that the referral candidates are not serving the purpose and they can’t find talented minority candidates suitable to their companies. The companies are aware of the benefits like increased financial returns by having diversity in their workforce. Jopwell is currently serving 45 companies by providing them a pool of thousands of talented minority candidates and has been successful in placing a significant number of candidates in these companies. The company is focussing on diversifying the whole organization by filling the non-technical roles as well like finance, marketing,

“The multicultural training movement has indeed contributed to a greater and much needed understanding of the differences among various racial, ethnic, and cultural groups (Speight, Myers, Cox and Highlen, 1991).” In looking at this statement counselors will need to expand their thinking outside of the Western European contexts. There is a difference between Western culture and other cultures. Sue & Sue, 2012 states “ each cultural/racial group may have its own distinct interpretation of reality and offer a different perspective on the nature of people, the origin of disorders, standards for judging normality and abnormality, and therapeutic approaches. (p. 45).” As we are brought together with more cultures it is imperative to understand the differences, which will enable counselors to become culturally competent.

According to Wood (2004), diversity is America's newest cultural ideal. Furthermore, the author argued that diversity sprawls across politics, law, education, business, entertainment, personal aspiration, religion, and the arts, as an encompassing claim about human identity. Under these conditions, 21st Century organizations are shifting their recruitment and hiring policy to create a diverse workforce. Likewise, universities are instituting new admissions rules to establish a diverse student body. The importance of diversity has many roles and effects. For example, diversity can improve productivity, create innovation, enhance robustness, produce collective knowledge, and perhaps most important, sustain further diversity (Page, 2011,

What I found interesting in this chapter would have to be about Diversity “The New Social Norm " in the chapter it talks about the different cultural backgrounds, opportunity changes, peoples beliefs, and religion. I find this interesting because without social norms there would be chaos in the world. In today's era society is built upon the thought of citizen conformity to a prescribed set of values and norms. In the chapter, it states “The United States is a multicultural society. This is unlike a monocultural society in which everyone looks and acts alike and believes pretty much the same thing. Diversity brings with it both opportunities and challenges; it brings opportunities for people to find commonalities and share unique beliefs and

Diversity has always been a key component of American society. From its beginnings, the United States has struggled with deciding who establishes the norms and values of society, given that we are a nation built primarily through immigration (Bessett, 1997). Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual, Transgender and Queer (LGBTQ) people have been a part of society throughout history. There is evidence of same sex relationships at least as far back as ancient Greece (Crompton, 2003). Over time, negative societal attitudes in the western world developed and led to active oppression of LGBT community. These attitudes were then exported around the world. From approximately the 1930’s until the 1970’s, the vast majority of LGBT people lived their lives hiding

In this essay I will demonstrate an historical account of the amount and quality of contact that I have experienced with various diverse groups. First and foremost, I would like to state I embrace diversity. Diversity is what makes the world go round, God created diversity. In Corinthians 12:12 it states “Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ.” Without diversity there will be no excitement. Diversity is colorful it offers a variety of cultures, religion, race, language, ethnicity and people of different backgrounds. A beautiful name diversity.

I can contribute to diversity at The San Francisco Bay School by sharing my perspective, experience, and background with other students. Diversity is not only about race and culture, but also how people perceive the world. I am a visual learner, someone who prefers to learn by seeing examples. Even though I am a visual learner, that does not mean I do not understand different learning styles. I believe you must change your perspective and be open to new ideas. My perspective on learning is that there is always another way to solve a problem. Another way I can contribute to diversity at Bay is through experience. When collaborating with others for group projects, I can use my knowledge to do research and do my part to get the job done. For example,

Diversity, in general, is important because it provides our society and culture with varying, inimitable and stimulating perspectives. There seems to have a tendency to create groups and various social strata and you find it everywhere around the world in various degree. Diversity goes beyond recognizing that we are different in measurable ways. Diversity can create new ideas and changes that can be beneficial to a society, or even the world. On a global scale, diversity is fundamental to the development of new ideas, innovation and is a critical component of being prosperous on an overall level.

I understand that people go through hard times in life. Everyone has a background story, and everyone has a different view on the way they handle adversity. One Thanksgiving a few years ago, my dad had called and told me that he was moving to Michigan. I haven’t lived more than two hours from my dad, I had no idea how to take the news. He hasn’t been involved in my life for 17 years now, and I have grown to accept that he will never be a father to me. Stephen R. Covey said, “Strength lies in differences, not in similarities.” I am a carrot, an egg, and a coffee bean because I, too, suffer from adversity.

Imagine the planet Earth without plants or animals. What would it look like? Could humans live and thrive in such a world? What is scary is that in the future, such questions may not just be left to imagination. Humans have undoubtedly been affecting our environments since the beginning of our species from hunting to pollution. Some experts believe that we are now living in the period of the Anthropocene. Meaning, humans are almost solely responsible for the current state of the Earth. The planet Earth is now riddled with problems and impeding dander that, in the anthropogenic view, is attributed to humans. Correcting such problems will take more than a simple solution, if they can be corrected at all. Among the many problems within the Anthropocene, the problem of shrinking diversity poses a tremendous threat to the millions of species on the planet. Reducing the amount of green house gases released is a way to correct the shrinking diversity problem and although this solutions appears simple and potentially effective, it is just as riddle with problems like the big problem itself.
