Reflection About Diversity

Jopwell is a recruiting firm which connects the minority job candidates with the Tech companies in Silicon Valley. The main issue faced by the Tech companies is that the referral candidates are not serving the purpose and they can’t find talented minority candidates suitable to their companies. The companies are aware of the benefits like increased financial returns by having diversity in their workforce. Jopwell is currently serving 45 companies by providing them a pool of thousands of talented minority candidates and has been successful in placing a significant number of candidates in these companies. The company is focussing on diversifying the whole organization by filling the non-technical roles as well like finance, marketing,

When America was founded, it was established on freedom and equality for all people. At first it was just religious freedom, but eventually freedom of speech, press, petition, and more. In time, America began to be known as a “melting pot” of cultures as more and more people came because they wanted this freedom; the more people who came though, the more problems America had. There were too many cultural discrepancies between people, and ultimately America, the country based on freedom and equality, faced challenges concerning diversity.

As an occupational therapist, healthcare worker, and an immigrant, I am a part of diverse communities. Living and working in diverse communities have not only helped me to become culturally competent but also grow personally and professionally.

What does diversity mean to you? It’s often hard to identify diversity and what it means to us. We see diversity and its impact on the world, but we don’t always see the issues right before us. What about intolerance right here, right now? What about stereotypes and judgments made about someone based upon his or her sexual orientation, race, or economic status? We see it every single day in the news, on college campuses, etc. People sometimes become uneasy when we talk about the concept of diversity. Sometimes, we are

The Beyond diversity workshop dealing with racial issues made me think more in depth about what people of color have to endure. I have always tried to put myself in others situations to help me better understand their actions, and this workshop shined some light onto issues I have not considered. These issues (like how the majority of the United States population sometimes ignore one pivotal point in history—slavery, and celebrate others—like 4th of July) encompasses what social psychology is about: how we relate to, and treat other people. Obedience, as discussed in Pettijohn with the shock experiment, help me better understand why good people may treat others the way that they do. For example, in my home

Diversity is defined as “the condition of having or being composed of differencing elements” (Webster Dictionary). Through my clinical experiences I have seen a lot of diversity whether it be different ethnicity, the family culture/make-up or students living with disabilities in the classrooms. Specifically, in my urban clinicals I saw more ethnicity and culture diversity differences between student to student and student to teacher relationships. However, in my suburban school clinical experiences I also saw diversity, but in a different way. Here I saw much more diversity in family make-up.

I found this article to be very interesting. It really got me thinking about different people’s live. Sadly, most people rely on stereotypes to shape their life. They expect the white race to be hard working a strive for success. They expect African American’s to be slackers. They expect that Hispanics will head towards manual occupations and Asian Americans to be the hard-working out of all the races listed. Since, these stereotypes are presented so much people start to feel like this is who they are going to be. They don’t think they can be anything better or different from their stereotype. I find that to be really sad because everyone should be able to be themselves. They shouldn’t have to be who everyone else wants them to be. I really enjoyed reading this article and would like to read more like it.

For my leadership rubric I choose diversity. Understanding the diversity of a group is essential to creating a productive organization. Each person brings a history, culture, and a set of beliefs that shaped them into who they are now. These differences should be celebrated, because differences are what help organizations accomplish positive change.

Diversity is more than a person’s ethnicity, it is about understanding the uniqueness in one another and not only embracing, but celebrating the levels of differences contained within each individual.

To resolve the issue of diversity and the issue occur because of that, healthcare providers need to be alert about it. Every group and human being have their own view about how he/she believe, how they react in a certain situation and how they want to treat their self. Even from the same group or from same language people they have a different style of communication. Man and women have their own way to see their job satisfaction and promotion. In every cultural group, there is some own way they work with like some Muslim women don't dare for breast care screening or other medical care if it is not feeling comfortable for them. There are some cultures where they are not allowable to be in front of stranger man. Some styles of different culture

The purpose of this paper is to reflect upon the diverse experiences that I have had in my personal and professional life. Fortunately, I have had a large mix of diverse friends and experiences in my life. This paper will discuss those diversities as well as the plan to expand on my current knowledge.

When reflecting on a Human Diversity course, I think that it is easy to say that being racist, sexist, or generally being against someone’s culture or upbringing, is wrong. That is not what I took away from this course. I took much more away. My idea of these concepts has broadened. I understand that we all have our biases, but I think that it is essential we do not let them affect the way we teach, or treat our students.

“On the basis of diversity, I am certain that I relate to most of its aspects. I was born in Cameroon, a developing country in Africa. Migrating to The United States exposed me to not just gender diversity, but also to racial, cultural, and religious diversity. I moved to The United States in 2015 at age 15 and started community college at age 16. At the time, I did not view myself as unmindful, but I thought of how my life was going to be like in class. The environment was new to me, I wasn’t sure of how things are done here, but that did not bother me at all. I had been watched in the news that America welcomed everyone, hence I did not feel uncomfortable being different or having an accent that people didn’t understand.

Everyone contains baggage, some big, some small. It is part of our day to day lives, and is usually something we are not even aware of. Although I have only been in class for a few weeks, I have become more and more aware with the baggage that I contain. Through talking about major issues with my fellow classmates, or just becoming more aware and more knowledgeable of these particular issues; I have learned so much about myself, my community and even the world.

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.
