Diversity Of Perspectives

This paper is going to cover my personal reflection of what diversity means to me. I will discuss the messages I learned as a child about various minorities and majorities, and how my views have changed since then. I will also describe a situation in which diversity directly influenced my life. This paper will also include reflections of the common read novel The Other Wes Moore: One Name, Two Fates. I will detail how the main characters experienced diversity. I will give examples of how diversity changed their lives and which person I personally related to the most.

1. Briefly explain the five choices speakers can make. How do these elements determine a speech’s success or failure?

Many people grow up not ever wanting to accept anything; they want to always push for something better. All over the United States people believe you have cancer and are going to possibly die that you should push against the odds and try to live. This is one reason that the assisted suicide act is such a controversial thing.

Overall the process leading up to the speech was a great experience. Even though our group was close this speech was able to help us learn more about each other. This speech was able to help us understand each other and grow as a group. We learned how to work with each other and adjust work to fit everyone’s schedule. This was a great opportunity for us to show responsibility, teamwork, and leadership. We are satisfied with the grade we got on the speech because we put a lot of time into

My speech was characterized by three overall strengths. The first strength is that I was fluent and used good hand gestures to help explain my meaning for the audience. The second strength was that I spoke for the audience, using an animated voice that was not monotonous. The third strength was that I engaged the audience by using good eye contact. Combined together, these three strengths helped establish a relationship between me and the audience so that I felt as if I was actually teaching them a skill, not simply giving a presentation to a disinterested group.

1. What did you did well? Why do you think you did well on these aspects of your speech? Elaborate.

As I reflect over my life, I appreciate the many diverse experiences I’ve came to encounter. My experience with diversity dates back to birth. I am from a small rural town, Moss Point, MS. and notably the last state to abolish slavery. The town currently has a population of 13,704 people and consists of 73% Blacks or African Americans, 23% Caucasian, 1% Hispanic or Latino and 1% bi-racial.

According to my family and cultural values, I have learnt to respect and understand other cultures and their beliefs. I always try to increase my awareness of the various dimensions of diversity. I always try to examine my own cultural identity and how that identity affects my relationships with others. In my opinion it is really important to become more aware of my own attitudes, perceptions, and feelings about various aspects of diversity. As an educator I think it is really important to make a commitment to increase an understanding of diversity.

Perspectives are a weird thing, they can either help lives, or ruin them. Perspectives shape the world, and how we view the world. Perspectives is the freedom of speech, and the censorship of speech. Perspectives are many things, they come in all shapes and forms. And for mine, NAPLAN shouldn't set minimal standards to qualify for HSC.

A frequently used way of opening up discussion is to use a quiz of some sort to allow employees to test their knowledge of diversity issues. There is an almost unlimited range of information suitable to use in a quiz. People seem to like quizzes. Consider the popularity of quiz programs on television and radio. Quizzes can be fun and a non-threatening activity for learners, and create a climate of safety, provided they are not dressed up as a test and employees do not feel humiliated if they do not know the answers.

Speaker 1: The speaker was able to sum up the major points of the presentation in her conclusion at the end, which made the main points clear to the audience. During the presentation, however, she often struggled to not get too detailed in her explanation as she read a lot of extra, unnecessary information from her notes. Her heavy reliance on notes made her seem not as knowledgeable about the material.

In the first speech for this class, my main goals were to gain confidence to voice my ideas and use speech to make a difference in peoples’ lives, and to practice overcoming my speech anxiety therefore be able to use my nerves to focus myself. Overall, I believe that I did improve in both of these areas as a result of information from the book, mini speeches, and the larger speeches.

When I hear the word diversity, I imagine the different colors of the rainbow each one representing the different skin colors, personalities, hair styles, food and a bunch of other things. Any combination of those makes us who we are and how we view the world. My philosophy is that you should be receptive and understanding to other people lifestyles and choices; you do not have to like everyone, but we need to be cordial and respectful. Diversity can be a challenge for some people. It is hard to accept the fact there are people different from you. My job involves dealing with people who are homeless, due to a mental illness, substance abuse or just terrible choices. 85% of the people we serve are African American. Luckily, I have never been

Comparing to my pervious speeches, I thought I was more confident and effective. Since we were in the small room, I made sure that the tone and volume of my voices were balanced. Moreover, throughout the speeches I used various hand gestures to help me get connect with the audience. Preparation is one the most effective way to improve in any kinds of speech. Therefore, I could have done better by practice and preparing more.

We live in a society where people come from different countries, they belong to different cultural, religion, ethnic groups, and races. All these factors come together and contributes to differences that make us unique from each other. Hence, a multicultural country with huge diversity.
