Positive Influence Of Diversity And Social Justice

According to the Equality and Human Rights Commission First Triennial Review 2010 “The Equality Act 2010 complements and builds on the provisions of the Equality Act 2006, which itself strengthened several aspects of discrimination law and set out the roles and responsibilities of the Equality and Human Rights Commission.”

I came to the United States as an international student on a student visa. Working with various student organizations as the president of Nicholls International Community, I have become more comfortable with working with those of all races. After graduation, I worked professionally for four years where I met people from all walks of life. During this times, I learned advanced techniques of performing whole genome and exome sequencing, trained other employees, coordinated projects and managed meetings. Additionally, I learned to manage work conflicts and become a strong leader through proper communication. These experiences have taught me to never stop working hard. Experiencing being part of the community in Nepal to New Orleans and to New York City has really broadened my view on the world. I will be able to share these experience and skills with the diverse student body of

In Common hour, we learned about Diversity, Community, & Social Justice. We learned that Diversity and Social Identity are interconnected, one cannot exist without the other. Social Identity is one aspect of Diversity, while Diversity is based upon Social Identity. However, both of these concepts depend on whether you experience Privilege and Oppression. Like Diversity and Social Identity, Privilege and Oppression cannot exist without the other. On the other hand, it’s not necessarily good that Privilege can only exist because of Oppression because people, regardless of their own personal accomplishments, are judged and discriminated by others.

Over the last couple of years, I have had many opportunities that dealt with me enriching diversity for my campus and community. Being a member of Phi Theta Kappa has many immeasurable benefits. One benefit that came with me being a chapter officer at North Hennepin Community College is that every year we get to choose a project that benefits or raises awareness to the community. This year me and my Phi Theta Kappa team chapter members wanted to see what our fellow student body members thought about equally underrepresented minorities in position of power. We were able to gather and interpret the results. From the results, I personally changed my attitude, I learned that everyone needs to be educated so that they could be more knowledgeable

One of the most challenging professions for African American males is social work. As a social worker, I have realized that I have to work under two domains. The first one is to work under the race identity and the second one is to work as a class identity. Although I am proud of being an African American, I usually feel sorry for myself being from unprivileged social class in the American society. The identity of being an African American male has affected my social work in many aspects. This is because it has made it impossible to carry out my professional duties because of negative perspectives and discrimination in the society. African American social workers are considered to be incompetent by the rest of the society hence making it impossible to delegate duties without any form of discrimination. This paper provides my own reflections as an African American male in the field of social work and how this identity has affected my practice in community work and advocacy duties.

This reflection paper has been written in response to the diversity, inclusivity, and social justice topics that were discussed in class. Understanding these core elements is imperative to being an insightful, capable and well-rounded Resident Assistant.

Yes, empowerment, diversity, and social justice issues are closely related to minority groups and women, but I wouldn’t say the above issues are only relevant to minority groups and women. According to an article by the name of Culture and Empowerment in the Deaf Community: An Analysis of Internet Weblogs stated, “Although deafness is traditionally conceptualized as a medical problem or disability, about 500,000 deaf people in the United States identify as members of an ethno-linguistic minority that takes pride in being deaf.” Also, this article stated, “A deaf woman had a fight with her brother, and called the police for help, but when the police arrived, they took the brother’s story as being the truth, and arrested the deaf woman, because they couldn’t understand her.” Yes, we as social workers are not to be judgmental in this field. Thus, this is why it’s important for us to fight social injustice, and seek to pursue change. Moreover, we as social workers have to be competent in this field, and recognize

I graduated from a high school of about 150 kids where about 80% where minorities and about 75% were qualified for free or reduced lunch. Coming in as a business major I want the chance to go back and try and fix how the school was ran. While my school tried it’s best to provide what was necessary to advance to a higher education beyond high school, they fell short. My junior and senior year I was lucky enough to have nearly all online classes, so I had a ton of free time. However, during this time I spent most of it helping seniors and juniors applying for college, editing their resumes, revising their essays, and just making them aware of all the programs and scholarships out there for them. I remember it was in these moments I felt like I really made an impact. I feel as if these are the same morals and beliefs that are held within Teach for American and I want to be part of that. While you review my application, I hope I exemplified all that you all are looking for, and If I didn’t I hope that I can later in the future.

I find that the concepts of diversity, inclusion and social justice to be important because they build on each other and have the power to change the world. When all of these aspects work together and are acknowledged then we are able to work toward changing social norms and creating aspects in society that are focused on equity, rather than equality. Of course, social justice should be the goal that we as individuals want to achieve in liberating areas of our that have limited and restrained others. I connect diversity and appreciating diversity with being the foundation to this equation of equality because individuals need to understand that there will be differences between people. I enjoy the statement on, “… Who is in the room?” because it starts to explain the variations in personal characteristics within a group of people. This is going to be part of my position as an RA within Resident Life because a floor’s residence are going to have wide range in their own diversities through their age, sexual orientation, journeys to get to college, race and ethnicity, etc. I am proud to have experienced the things I have and lived and go to high school in such a place like Aurora, CO to where I was able to live and embrace a diverse community. I came to define this diversity to be normal, but coming up to CSU and Fort Collins has shown me how much of Colorado does not have the same kind of standards. The next support beam to building this idea that works toward social would be

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.

As a first generation-student graduating college was a big accomplishment for my family and I. However, graduating as an honors student/mentor and trustee of the Multicultural Student Association at my university was an even more noble accomplishment. I sat on the executive board as the treasurer for three consecutive years. While serving as the association’s treasurer, I managed the club’s finances, promoted and organized events throughout campus, and motivated other students to take part in spreading cultural awareness throughout our campus community.

The values of diversity, justice, and sustainability have always played a vital role in my daily life one way or another. These three values are intertwined with each other, and are a substantial part of the person I am today and portray what I stand for. As a student at Pacific Lutheran, I would relate to all of these values and contribute to your flourishing community. As a Latina I would be contributing to create a welcoming environment for other minorities while promoting social justice and protecting mother nature.

Social diversity definitely affects perceptions, definitions, and proposed solutions to social problems because individuals in society have such different opinions, views, and beliefs. People who are from a different culture, ethnicity, and gender also affect proposed solutions to social problems. For example, someone who is religious might believe that homosexuality is morally wrong and the best solution to solve this social problem would be to oppose laws protecting homosexuality, to protest against homosexuality, and to abolish it all together. Someone who is not religious might believe that the best solution to solve this social problem would be to allow marital rights to homosexuals and to create laws in order to protect them. The opposing

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.

In Chapter seven: “Social Equity and Diversity Management” (pp. 159-176) of Public Personnel Management Context and Strategies (6th Edition), Donald E. Klingner, John Nalbandian, and Jared Llorens start by stating t achieving social equity in the workplace has been a very politically charged issue for the past 50 years. The readings suggest that there are three major strategies in achieving social equity, they are equal employment opportunity (EEO), affirmative action (AA), and diversity management. Although often confused with one another, EEO and AA are two different methods of promoting social equity. Equal employment opportunity refers to the policy of treating all individuals in the employment process fair and equitable regardless of race and gender. Affirmative action refers to efforts on the part of the employer to address the effects of past discrimination when equal opportunity employment efforts are not enough. Diversity management refers to an employer’s effort to ensure that individuals of all backgrounds work together in a workplace and take advantage of the diversity which leads to productivity.
