Diversity Statement

Some say love is blind. I would like to disagree. When a person falls in love with another surely, they are aware of that individuals many characteristics such as gender, race, and age. And I believe it’s those very differences which attracted people to one another. This belief of mine made the concept of Diversity Awareness very interesting to me. Within this paper, I will describe and explain why I found the Diversity Awareness concept most important to me, the implications of not applying the concept, the actions I will take to apply the concept, and the impact this new insight will have on my supervisors, peers, and subordinates.

Growing up I have always wanted to impact the lives of others in a positive and supportive way.

There are many pieces of legislation that are put in place to protect and safeguard vulnerable people; like Mrs Naidoo. I am going describe five pieces of legislation and regulations, and explain how they safeguard vulnerable adults.

The first artifact I have attached for Standard Four: Diversity is a diversity project completed during the spring of 2015 for ED444 Methods and Materials for Teaching Social Studies and ED447 Instructional Technology. This project consists of different resources to use when teaching Kindergarten Social Studies Standard Three. This standard requires students to describe how rules offer safety at home, school, and in the community. This diversity project demonstrates activities that aid in individual experiences.

In my intro to social work class, I was able to learn more about the Diversity Certificate Program. When my advisor first told me about the program, I did not know if I wanted to do it depending on how busy my schedule was. But, after I heard more about the benefits and opportunities that I would obtain from this program, I decided that it would be a great opportunity and I wanted to be a part of it! Plus the program is flexible so I can be able to incorporate it in my schedule so I can graduate on time.

“92 BLX The Beat of The Bay. This is DJ Rodsky” boomed the radio into my preschool classroom at St. Mary Catholic School. My best friend Emani's dad was featured on the radio that morning, and my teacher let the whole class tune in. While in may seem like an odd occurrence to listen to a rap station in a preschool setting, it highlights the attitude towards diversity that shaped my formative education. Instead of the hand-picked, curated diversity that sometimes plagues schools, this encounter demonstrates the raw, unalderterated diversity that kindles appreciation for all races, genders, backgrounds, or affiliations without any reservations.

To increase diversity, employers are permitted to consider race or gender as a factor in selecting employees. Race differences in the workplace force diversification. I personally think that it is necessary. I would never think to hire or not hire someone, because of skin color or race differences. Hiring or not hiring someone, because they have a different skin color is just as wrong. However, because discrimination has occurred, history has created the need for laws to protect working class citizens. Breaking into classifications by race or gender is now common in the U.S. In making employment decisions, I do think that there are ethical factors that create exceptions to the rule. In particular, gender considerations playing an active

The University of Southern California claims that its mission is to demonstrate an “​enduring​ ​commitment​ ​to​ ​diversity​ ​of​ ​thought,​ ​experience,​ ​and people”. USC constitutes a significant portion of Los Angeles’s population and it is constantly expanding its reach on the surrounding area. In recent months, USC held its grand opening of University Village, UV, another massive addition to the campus. President Max Nikias claims that this construction will reinvigorate the neglected neighborhood, however this space is itself a contradiction to USC’s core statement on diversity because of its socioeconomic and cultural exclusivity. The university wiped out the international food court which stood before UV existed and replaced it

I've been blessed to have the opportunity to attend school with and work professionally with people from a wide variety of backgrounds and built effective working relationships with all of them. I firmly believe that the different perspectives that all of us bring to the table because of our varied backgrounds only serves to enhance the process for finding creative solutions to difficult problems and I applaud companies commitment to diversity which I

In my opinion living in a diverse society, along with understanding and knowledge is a positive route to acceptance on a variety of levels. When looking at my own life values and experiences I feel that as a person I don’t have prejudices and discrimination, however dependant on circumstances and peers I may on occasion say something deemed to be a prejudice. However the audience I have understand that this isn’t my view and that the reason behind saying something is more as a joke. For example my sister in law is Scottish, a prejudgment would be that she doesn’t like to spend money, never thinks its cold and drinks whiskey. If I

Hope all of you like the project and get the contact information from your teammates!!! Trust me, it will be so much fun. I still remember my project from last year and because me and my teammates put lots of effort into it, we actually won the first prize. Be creative and feel free to ask me or Jamie any question.

“The weight of human domination has crushed the galaxy for too long. We will follow you wherever the flight may take us.”(Anderson 144)This quote relates to me because it reminds me of how slaves and african americans were treated horribly. like the alien species in the star wars universe were treated. It also talked a lot equality and there was a whole group in the star wars universe called the Diversity alliance dedicated to making peace between all species and their world a better

Individuals with autistic spectrum disorders from black and minority ethnic communities face the threat of discrimination from two fronts, their ethnicity and disability. Individuals with autism may not understand culture and have their own preference, which can lead to conflict. EG: I supported an individual who came from a black Caribbean background. Her mother insisted she had foods from her culture, however, the individual preferred European foods and would refuse to eat the food her mother prepared. This lead to conflict with the carers, herself and her mother.

Land of the free and home of the brave is a phrase that many people use to describe America. Others may think of the United States when they see stars and stripes. Our forefathers strived to begin a nation that would be better than the nations of that time, and they surpassed that goal. When one thinks of America, there are many different ideas that pop into our heads. There are so many components that combine together to create this strong nation. Our freedoms and rights, diversity and equality, and how we overcome struggles are all ideals that represents the United States of America.

I am all about diversity! I am a huge fan of accepting and coexisting with people from all backgrounds, cultures and religions. But this is ridiculous. There are court battles over military memorials that are offensive and too religious. And this lady wants to put a strainer on her head for her DMV photo and everyone is all, oh, sure, ok.
