North Eugene Diversity Poster Analysis

In 2017 with technology being so immensely distributed, ideologies and cultures are shared with great agility. As a result, homogenization and monoculture are all concepts that are inevitable to occur. For example in this cartoon the author, Andy Singer illustrates the causes and the consequences of social globalization and monoculture. In addition to that, he uses various disney characters taking over a tropical region using popular transnational corporations, as a way of representing how popular culture is forcing foreign cultures to marginalize their ideological beliefs and ethnologies. Furthermore leaving this world with decreased diversity, hence a place far from the idea of a pluralistic society. Overall, the symbols in the author’s illustration

INTRO: Prompt: What should “diversity on campus” mean and why? Hook: Does diversity help liberate narrow-mindedness? What exactly is diversity? To say that diversity is approached on school campuses is an understatement to the level of understanding in this increasingly globalized world. By its definition, “diversity” requires inclusion. Are school’s really working toward the inclusion of everyone? This means including color, national origin, socio-economic status, and sexual orientation. Looking at court cases and polls shown in the short articles, “Introduction from Place, Not Race: A New Vision of Opportunity in America” and “The Trouble with Diversity: How We Learned to Love Identity and Ignore Inequality,” their approach to strengthening

Racial diversity is something that is often discussed on college campuses. As a student who self-identifies as a minority in more ways than one I often feel like I have a pretty good understanding of the subject of racism and race. However, often times when these issue are discussed I learn something new; this was the case when reading the articles this week. This week’s articles examined the issue of race from different perspectives. This allowed me to re-examine the issue in a fuller manner; it also allowed me to question some of my own notions that I hadn’t really challenged before.

Ours is a growing and wonderful community. With growth, however, come greater challenges and even greater opportunities. Our community consists of many people from many different cultures and with growth it will become even more diverse. We have all seen tragedies unfold in schools across the country and as made evident by the necessity of our bullying policy, the issues of ignorance and intolerance are also alive and well here at home. This is why we must address issues surrounding cultural diversity. Cultural diversity is simply the blending of different cultures – people with different backgrounds, routines, looks, beliefs, styles of dress all coming together to form a community. The challenge is do we continue to stick our head

The word diversity is indispensible in college pamphlets. Pictures of multicultural friendships permeate across each page in hopes of providing a mirrored image for prospective students. These pictures suggest a promised safe place for young adults of all backgrounds. However, in the instance of San Jose State University, one could argue their actions differ from the pictured proposal. Their main focus became avoiding liability rather than facilitating a safe environment for ethnic difference. This mentality typically reflects a view that claims acts of active racism and blatant bigotry should take the forefront of discussion while their comprising acts of passive racism are left behind. Campus conversations about race are being silenced

A conversation needs to be had regarding the effects of diversity. Diversity in practical terms is the inclusion of people from different walks of life whether it be color, race, or heritage. This topic is one that is sensitive for many people because of the history attached to this subject. In the past decade there has been instances where the supreme court has had to address the topic of “Diversity” to justify this ongoing debate. Like in the supreme court, college campuses have also discussed diversity in their college for a multitude of reasons. Additionally, they too have found many reoccurring problems relating to diversity, which will be addressed in this paper.

During my sophomore year of high school, news reports broke of "race wars" taking place at Brevard High. I am well aware of the fact that this place I call home is often riddled with complaints of racism, bigotry, and prejudice. While I have never personally experienced this injustice, I sympathize with those who have and hope wholeheartedly that genuine and real change takes place, allowing Brevard to shed that off-putting image in time.

The presence of fear begins to reduce when students start to create a tolerant, inclusive social normality. This theory is discussed in a study conducted by Rebecca L. Stoltzer and Emily Hosselman. It is concluded that when looking at the pros and cons of a more diversely populated campus climate, these results insinuate a, “promising relationship between increased diversity in the student body and a reduced number of hate crimes on campus” (Stoltzer and Hosselman 654). It is Stoltzer and Hosselman that actually argue the investigation of how students rather than the institutions can reflect on campus climate. This can once again be completely traced back to student interpretation and how they choose to react or not react on those interpretations. This topic is also explored in an article by Raymond A. Winbush in which he pleads to, “Establish a campus committee involving high-level administrators and students from both the victimized group and popular campus organizations such as fraternities and sororities” as one of his do’s on a list of do’s and don’ts (Winbush par. 26). This is a great way in order to promote inclusion without instilling fear or blame on certain groups of

Today, we have a diverse student population within our public schools. However, more can still be achieved for equality in our society. The struggle with racism and segregation are still very present in America; we see proof of their existence in the news almost every day. The shootings in Charleston, SC and Ferguson, MO are evidence that heinous crimes, which extend beyond education, are still committed in America based on race. However, the removal of the Confederate flag and movements to end racially-motivated crimes are signs of

The next segment during Diversity Day would have counselors running groups in order to educate students to stand up for others and also hear first-hand stories from other students that have been treated differently for being different. Counselors will facilitate students in discussing past stories of witnessing or receiving discrimination and have the students discuss what they have heard. For students that have witnessed these acts, they can discuss how they felt when they decided to stop the act of discrimination. Additionally, they can also discuss with the student how they felt when they decided to not stop the act of discrimination. For the students that have suffered from acts of discrimination they can explain how they felt when someone stepped in to help them. Additionally, students can explain how it felt when no one stepped in and just watched as they suffered from discrimination. The purpose of this activity is to educate the students on how the victims feel when someone helps them compared to someone who does not. Additionally, it will educate students on how people felt when they helped someone in need compared to someone who watched the incident without intervening.

Yet, as public schools become more diverse, demands increase to find the most effective ways to help all students succeed academically as well as learn to get along with each other. We stand committed to fostering and sustaining a pluralistic, inclusive environment that empowers all members of the Dexter R-XI School district to achieve their highest potential without fear of prejudice or discrimination. Within our district we focus on effective communication and cultural experiences in order to create a civil environment for all to feel comfortable enough to grow and learn. The overall goal is to make sure all students and staff are in an environment where they feel safe to learn. Here at Dexter R-XI Schools, we believe that every student falls into a particular group that can be assisted in furthering their education in a multicultural way.

Have you ever been called something horrible that was based on what race you were or something even worse than name calling? (Rhetorical Question) In the book, Beyond Heroes and Holidays, Enid Lee explains racism as the “use of individual and institutional power to deny or grant people and groups of the rights of people, respect, representation and resources based on the color of their skin”. (Logos) Such types of discrimination occur most often in schools and are expressed in many forms; in this case, students are the main targets of racism which affects not only how they interact but also how they learn in schools. Unfair situations, social problems, and negative behaviors are all the cause for a huge problem known as racism, which in today’s society is a huge problem that needs to be solved in schools everywhere. (Parallelism)(Thesis)

It has taken many years, and many struggles of students, faculty, alumni and community members change Forrest Hall to destroy the institutionalized rasism MTSU built up in those years, and it is now the time and all of our responsibilities to finally put this racist past to rest, and to continue furthering diversity and brotherhood throughout MTSU’s campus. MTSU is a school that promotes diversity, a word that is promoted in its True Blue pledge. But if the Forrest Hall name remains, this completely undermines what the university has been promoting. MTSU has vowed to these students to be a safe place that not only helps to further their careers and education, but to enrich their lives and instill values that will aid them for years to come.

Hudson, the “perfect” bubble in Northeast Ohio, is seen as serene and flawless; when, in reality, it’s a breeding ground of bigotry. This bigotry is not as rampant and explicit as the protests and riots we see on TV, but it is slowly grown, like a tumor, noticed only by a careful eye. A debate in class taken place a few weeks ago shows this perfectly. As our class argues about government imposed hiring quotas, it became clear that the majority of the kids in the room wanted an all white workplace. They didn't speak poorly about minorities, they simply implied that they were lesser than the dominant race in Hudson, caucasian. This upset me. How can our nation move forward with so much hate fostered from a young age? I had to speak up. Knowing

In Heritage High School, there exists a substantial gap between minority and white students engaging in arduous subjects, as only fifteen-percent of minorities enroll in Advanced Placement courses compared to the staggering seventy-percent of white students participating in ambitious classes. This disparity among students has accelerated the semblance of a marginalized society consisting of minority pupils, who remain futile in pursuit of academics. I seek to tarnish the illusion of inadequateness, as remaining fulfilled causes a person to not accel. To challenge myself is utterly necessary in upholding an inclusive society, which demonstrates that minorities are seeking to improve themselves. To be an exemplar in the standards of a dignified student of color. This perpetual drive of success develops the foundation of an inclusive society. The efficacy of a student's tenacity will propel the urge of prosperity within themselves. Society is solely a spectrum of colors, a pack of crayons, to not pick an choose a colors you are comfortable with, but to include the diverse, plentiful array of colors, to illustrate a painting of opportunity. An illustration of a vivid colors brimming with a rigor is the utter depiction of an inclusive
