Racial Diversity Awareness

To begin my personal informative essay on diversity in the United States, I would like to point out what information has had the most influence on how I better understand and relate to others different from how I did in the past. I do not feel as though this class taught me any more than I already know about other races and ethnicities, in terms of, how their ancestors came to America, or what hardships particular racial or ethnical groups have grown through in the group’s history in the United States. What I do feel like this class has done for me is, put into prospective of how often and frequent prejudice and

For over two centuries, the United States has a been a religious haven for anyone and everyone, regardless of religious belief. America has only been able to remain a powerhouse for this vast period of time because of their ability to accept and thrive upon diversity. Opportunities given in the United States allow and promote diversity, which brings forth understanding, perspective, and wisdom. Unfortunately, immigrants from certain religious backgrounds are not receiving the same opportunities that our forefathers believed each and every one of us are entitled to. Based upon the free exercise clause and the establishment clause of the first amendment, as well as section one of the fourteenth amendment, it would be unconstitutional to require immigrants to take a religion test.

The chapter by Ruth Frankenberg entitled, "Introduction: Points of Origin, Points of Departure", argues that the way one is perceived in society drastically changes their experience and advantage over others. Therefore, white women are often distinguished by their whiteness which gives them a more diverse racial experience (Frankenberg, 1993, pp. 1). With being white comes various additional components that set it apart from the other raced women of the world. Moreover, being a white woman automatically links them to a more favourable position of superiority in the way that they are often identified. This means that they get certain benefits by being white, as colonialism positioned them to have a large portion of control and authority

Regardless of my town’s homogeneous population, I grew up accepting diversity and valuing individual differences even amid the same racial group. One of the first experiences of diversity I can vividly recall is the various religious beliefs within the Black community. My parents believed “exposure to the world around you” was one of the primary factors for raising a well-rounded individual. Therefore, we often visited different churches of various faiths.

It is critical to incorporate cultural diversity awareness into your routine when performing your medical assistants’ duties. We should use role-playing and critical skills to envision our current perceptions of patients and how we might treat patients differently with an understanding of diversity. Also, illnesses and disabilities can be viewed very differently depending on a person's cultural origin. That is something healthcare workers should keep in

“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

The student has autonomy over who he shares his sexuality with. He is not obligated to tell his coaches but he does have the right to not be subjected to the innuendoes from his coaches. I must assure his confidentiality. Because the student brought it to my attention, it requires beneficence on my part to address the language used by the athletic department. It would be nonmaleficence of me to not address the issue. I contribute to maintaining an environment where all students feel safe and free from harm. I will make a plan of action to promote further diversity awareness for all students and staff. Even though the issue has only been brought up by one student, I know it cannot be an isolated one. As part of the district yearly staff development,

Diversity is a potent factor teenagers and families look at when choosing the right college. In the twenty-first century, many universities are defined my race or religious.

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.

The lack of diversity in my home town played a definite role in my development. It has made a little more extremely conscious. When I first came to Laramie for school, I noticed that I was a little too sensitive. Whenever talking and socializing with people of a different race, mostly with African Americans, I wouldn’t want to come across as any sort of racist, which in turn made me racist. I am color conscious now, no longer determined to be color blind.

This week was a great in many ways because of the information as well as the meaning of the terms in the lesson. I work with small children daily and being able to communicate with them as I coach them is a blessing. Coaching children in the right direction is the same as coaching employees to do a better job in the workplace.

This is a poster used to promote inclusiveness and equality of disabled and able people in businesses. It is designed by the British film institute and disability equality in education collaboration as part of the "What have you got to offer?" campaign. This a campaign to suggest to businesses to make places more accessible to disabled people. The whiteboard to the right of the man says "Braille menus" which are used by blind people so they can read. This shows how the restaurant has become more accessible and therefore more inclusive of disabled customers.

The purpose of this year’s diversity month was to address certain diversity-related issues. We planned three discussions on topics that affect the daily life and performance of workers. The topics were work life balances, generational challenges, and political correctness. We decided on these topics after careful observation of interactions between workers . Suggestions from some workers also made the need for a safe space to discuss these issues clear . Across the PwC network, a week in September is dedicated to celebrating diversity. Last year, our activities included a mentoring program and a multicultural celebration. This year we decided to spread the activities over a month because of the different schedules. We also wanted to make

Our multicultural society has eliminated ethnic and racial prejudice. This is a statement that I somewhat disagree with. We live in a society today that passes prejudices on every little thing. Technology and social media have played a huge part in allowing the spread of it on massive scales. Someone always has an opinion to say, so they blast it all over online. I personal have been fortunate enough to never experience any type of prejudice, but I have seen and heard of it many times. Today’s society has certainly changed over timed and things are not nearly as bad as they once were, but we still face many ethnic and racial prejudice.
