Diversity To Diversity

Does our common reader assigned to the class this semester adhere to the accustomed material when it comes to examining cultural diversity in the class? My conclusion is that our common reader The Trouble with Diversity by Walter Benn Michaels touches upon the social, socio-economic, health, and educational aspect of diversity. Observing how an individual’s status and race makes an impact on how they do in society as well as how they’re treated.

he trouble with diversity: How we learned to identity and ignore inequality. The article “The trouble with diversity: How we learned to identity and ignore inequality”, was written by Walter Benn Michaels and published by NY times on Dec, 24,2006. The author argues that The Great Gatsby give us a vision of our society divided into races rather than into economic classes. The Trouble with Diversity argues that our enthusiastic celebration of "difference" masks our neglect of the difference that really matters—the one between rich and poor.

I completely agree with you and I was also surprised about how people discriminate others in the health care system. Based on the research, Blacks and other people from racial groups “are less likely to be given appropriate medication for heart diseases or to undergo bypass surgery”. When I first read this, I was very surprised because I thought the discrimination rate is decreasing today, and most of the inequalities exist in workplace. Prejudices in health care system may cause some serious consequences if the patient couldn't get the appropriate treatment and attention.

Explains why its valuable to have different races in college campus. Explain how i have helped promote diversity.

I moved to California around one year and a half ago with my family. My parents decided to move here to give their daughters a better education and better opportunities. My parents are my biggest influence because they have helped me understand how important it is to work hard to achieve my goals. I learned that if I work for what I want, I can be very successful. My parents left their own house, land, jobs, and family just to give their daughters a chance to be successful in life. I think that seeing them give everything away just so that my sister and I can study and get our degrees is incredible. They have not only shown me to be independent and a hard working person, but they have taught me how to be considerate and selfless. I lived in

MasterCard has also partnered up with other minority-focused organizations, such as Women 2.0, which is focused on connecting talented women in technology to existing entrepreneurs (6). The relationship between Women 2.0 and MasterCard will help create communities of innovative women in technology, and to help them cultivate future leaders of these women and provide continuous support through their careers (6).

Based on the article, "Mindful Reflection as a Process for Developing Culturally Responsive Practices," prepare a 500-750-word reflective essay. Within your essay, address the following:

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.

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

What Does Diversity Mean to You, and What Does a Diverse Insurance Industry Look Like? By Amanda M. White, CPCU, API

My goal with the diversity grants is not just to enrich my personal knowledge, but looking at ways to bring more diversity to the transfer student population. For AA it is confounding low. Our program can serve as a beacon for underrepresented transfers and I always have an eye towards that goal in hiring, training and structure.

Change can be unnerving for everyone, but how one approaches it determines an ultimate outcome. Growing up in a society filled with opportunity and acceptance is an eye opener to how I can be a helping factor to a completely new atmosphere. Every community has its own unique characteristics, and being able to add to them helps improve the unity as a whole. These positive aspects require the acceptance of change and diversity, as well as commitment.

Many people see the goal of diversity and inclusion as having the "correct" numbers of people from different groups. But having a community with the "correct" numbers or "enough" different people means nothing without the willingness to empathize with one another. As a hispanic woman who was raised as a Jehovah's Witness, I often feel like I am just another number. But my background means more than that -- in acknowledging the obstacles I have faced alongside the many privileges I have been granted, I have learned the importance of empathizing with all people. At NC State, I will strengthen campus diversity not being a number, but by truly seeking to understand and connect with those around me.

I was born and raised in Dallas, Texas; to be more specific, the lowest income suburb of Dallas, Texas. The elementary school that I went to was the school for the lower income families and we were so equally diversified, that there was no such thing as a minority. Price Elementary was the name and the teachers were wonderful. They could have chosen to work in a school in a nicer neighborhood but they wanted to be there for children that really needed them. Although the school was great, the neighborhood was a rough place to raise a family. My parents worked very hard to move our family to Colorado Springs and to give their children a better opportunity. Their hard work has paid off. My brothers and I are all on great paths to success.

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. This reflection journal will cover what “human race” is and what role it plays in ones’ personal life and in a nursing profession. Moreover, what bias, assumptions and judgements are, and how to avoid them. Lastly, what caring is and what role does it play in nursing.
