How Does Increasing Diversity Matter

Did the Age of Jim Crow ever end? Americans see “race” as a defined, indubitable feature of nature. Racism- the act of ascribing bone deep features to people to then humiliate, reduce, and destroy them- inevitably follows from this inalterable condition. White supremacist ideals, for instance, espouse unfounded ideas that revere the white man and scorn those of color, while also serving as a nonsensical justification for practices such as slavery, racial segregation, and Jim Crow. In “The Trouble with Diversity”, Walter Benn Michaels dismisses the concept and veracity behind race, as if it weren’t a societal issue worth addressing. To ignore the reality of race would be the equivalent of ignoring the plight and shared experiences of minority groups. “The Trouble with Diversity” insinuates that “diversity” is incompatible with the society we live in; this does not mean that people of color should have to encounter racial prejudices, whether in subtle or discernible ways.

“It is time for parents to teach young people early on that in diversity there is beauty and there is strength.” ― Maya Angelou.

Our country is a diverse place, where people come from different places. But recently our speaker for the TED talk had quoted that “Subjects were exposed to new stores that were negative to Muslim they became more accepting to military attacks on Muslim countries and policies that curtail the right of American Muslim” (Mogahed), people are proving that even though we’re a diverse country we don’t give free rights to just anyone. Its giving people the right to treat everyone differently just because of who they are. In our society, it's very hard to find a place where there isn't any diversity and people who believe in other things that what you believe in as in religion.

My ride along I decided to do with Bakersfield Sheriff’s Department on Friday where it became later windy. Arriving at short briefing before their shift eleven to nine at night Dept. Santos agreed to do ride along. After he gave me brief tour of the facility search and rescue, training building, and property room. He worked at prison then became a sheriff for twenty-two years plans to later retire in next three or four years. The sheriff’s department recently received new cars and computers in them before he had a Crown Vic which he missed. Responding to calls getting out talking to Hotel owners for attendants with warrants. He told me which motels where child molesters on parole and people with mental illness live along union. His job he has to multitask with radio while driving and typing comments after visiting a call that was made. Most of the calls like elderly abuse, domestic disputes, and arm robberies were mostly

Growing up, my understanding of diversity came from watching television and reading books; from these sources, I deduced that diversity meant embracing people with a different skin color or culture from your own in order to realize that they are people just like everyone else. This narrow view of diversity came from the fact that I had little personal experience with diversity. I grew up in a small town, and everyone in my school was either Native American or white. There didn’t appear to be any discrimination based on this difference; any adversity that anyone faced was based on personality differences or family feuds. That all changed when I started college.

The U.S population is known for its diverse nature and blends of various colors in day to day life. Most of the population we see around consist a lot of immigrants. Even in the early history of United States, besides the Native American Indians, a major part of population was immigrants. The heritage of American history is frequently seen in downtown china town of small city to the metropolitan New York. The diversity is immersed in all roots on United States. When the individuals of different backgrounds come together, work together and there is gradual gain of more knowledge. Someone who is raised in mountains of Himalayas will be far different from someone raised in hungry. Almost all ethnicities are present in United States and almost cover the entire globe in count. When new people come together, there is rise in new ideas, creativity, mechanics, artwork, culture and food on top of all.

Diversity, it is all about that it is all about the differences within the society; this includes age, gender, sexuality etc. Children in setting are to be treated fairly no matter who they are, where they come from or even who their parents are; children are to be kept safe when even or where ever they are because we have a right to protect the children from all kinds of harm.

Diversity to me means every race, gender identity, and culture being able to experience one an others differences with no judgment or criticism. Diversity to me also means equality and equal representation for everyone in the world. Also the meaning of diversity to me means people not making assumptions about a person whether it's about their race, culture or gender identity but just looking at a person and seeing them as a human being like everyone else.

I feel that everyone needs to understand diversity because it is part of life. Everywhere you go you meet someone with a diverse background. We understanding diversity involve recognizing and appreciating different cultures. Some people may be treating or just don’t want to anything about another ethnicity or that it can be similar to theirs. Diversity helps us to encourage and cooperate with others in every positive aspect. With that being said we need to understand diversity because it’s part of our

The diversity I have experienced during my childhood has best prepared me for life in the real world. I have attended an expensive private school with the children of senators, CEOs, and millionaires. I have lived in a two-bedroom condo with my single mother, two siblings and dog. I have worked jobs for as long as I was legally able to. I currently attend a public high school with people from all walks of life and different socioeconomic levels. I was raised to believe that your background does not define you – your character does.

This article introduces diversity in the classroom. A kindergarten teacher explains how she lives in a small rural town in the South and her students are all from Caucasian families.

The teacher places Eban beside a little boy name Yon Kim who was very kind and compassionate to Eban. The article introduces Yon Kim's background, He was found in the dumpster by his adopted

Diversity in society helps us to grow as individuals and open our minds to different ways of life. When you are exposed to different ways of life and see how other cultures carry on then you are no longer closed to the idea that we are all different. Diversity also promotes tolerance. In terms of being tolerant that means diversity can help us accept other cultures, it can even adapt some cultural ways and values into our society. The point is, we are all different. Yet the differences that we have between us can be used to strengthen society as we know it. Diversity allows us the opportunity to learn, grow, understand new ways of living, and experience life to the fullest. Without diversity, we are closed off in our own worlds, but with it, we expand our knowledge and we are no longer ignorant. When you are aware of the differences and embrace them, then you have taken the blind fold off to living differently and you are a better person for it. The key is exposure and using what you learned to increase tolerance and decrease racism. Ta-Nehisi Coates view of the Mecca, a passage into a far-reaching thought of blackness encouraged by greater exposure to the black diaspora, which represents the “lovely things”, the language, mannerism, food, music, and literature, describes the diversity of HBCUs. Diversity has been a force for change because it boosts educational innovation which leads to educational growth, more jobs, and interaction between diverse cultures.

My campus has had an increase in diversity of the last several years. To begin, we have become a bilingual campus serving students Pre-k through fifth grade. In addition we are a Title I campus with 64.9% of the students economically disadvantaged which is well below our district level 42.4%. In the past few years our campus has been on a learning curve to improve student performance, therefore I found Lapkoff & Li statement helpful, “To improve student performance, school may need to look increasingly beyond the academic curriculum and offer support to children of working parents outside the normal school hours” (2007, p.12). Currently we have moved our Tuesday tutoring club office campus to an apartment complex where many of our economically

Being around people who are different from us makes us more creative, more diligent and harder-working.

Diversity can be differences in age, gender, ethnicity, and religion. Having such a diverse workforce can be very challenging. (1) Today’s workforce is very diverse in respect to age. Before, corporate America consisted of workers ranging from twenty one up to late thirties to early forties. Now,
