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.

The concept of diversity is one that individuals may not think of when they think of nursing. Diversity is a major component to nursing and the care that is provided to patients. In this concept analysis, antecedent, attributes and consequences of diversity are identified. The following antecedents are: race, social economy, knowledge, gender, and education level. The attributes of diversity are individual, variety, perception, difference and civilization. The consequences of diversity are as follows; acceptance, decision making, cultural competency qualifications, respect, degrading, trusts

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.

I completely agree with you and I was also surprised about how people discriminate others in the health care system. Based on the research, Blacks and other people from racial groups “are less likely to be given appropriate medication for heart diseases or to undergo bypass surgery”. When I first read this, I was very surprised because I thought the discrimination rate is decreasing today, and most of the inequalities exist in workplace. Prejudices in health care system may cause some serious consequences if the patient couldn't get the appropriate treatment and attention.

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

I devoted my energy to the sciences and humanities in search of career sheathed in the satisfying guard of knowledge. However, I could never separate myself entirely from the preppy, entitled demeanor. From Boy Scout camps, church outings, job opportunities, and even a new school, I am still treated by people that have never met me before like the kid I grew up as: a white kid who has always had it made for him and will never have to worry about the future so he doesn’t cherish the opportunities and knowledge he has now. They could not be more inaccurate and I take it upon myself to prove it to them by not just words, but actions. Even still, I cannot enlighten them to my true nature. My only option left is to find a new community. A community that has been unmistakably swaddled in diversity for its existence: Tulane

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

As a South Korean adoptee from a primarily white town, I’m used to being one of five Asian students in the classroom. However, at UNCW, I was publically pointed out as being the only Asian student in a classroom of fifty white students. Additionally, as a member of the LGBT+ community, I also expected a little diversity on the sexuality aspect of campus diversity. However, the LGBT+ club is miniscule compared to sororities and fraternities or any other club on campus. And although I joined the Asian Students Association where we commiserate the low diversity together and I have made plenty of friends who like me just the way I am, there is still a tangible dichotomy between myself and the rest of the student body. So halfway through my first semester, I had two important realizations: First, I wanted to attend a college where I felt I am a part of the student body instead of being apart from the student body. Second, I do not1,000 miles away from Massachusetts to have an adventure. Boston, a mere hour away from my best friends, my dog Sushi, my mom’s homemade mac and cheese, is an adventure in

When working with clients you will most likely experience instances when your own values will make the helping profession difficult. According to Corey and Corey (2007), there are three multicultural counseling practices that assist the helping profession.

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.

It is always helpful to have some type of knowledge in case you meet or begin working with a person who is a member of a diverse group. If ever I encounter someone whose diversity I am not familiar with, I ask him or her questions to learn more. I do my best not to offend them by asking general questions and let them lead the conversation. I usually start off by asking where a person is from and go from there. I make it a point to let them know that I am always interested in learning about diverse groups so that they know I am curious about their culture.

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.

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.
