Reflection On 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,

Did the Age of Jim Crow ever end? Americans see “race” as a defined, indubitable feature of nature. Racism- the act of ascribing bone deep features to people to then humiliate, reduce, and destroy them- inevitably follows from this inalterable condition. White supremacist ideals, for instance, espouse unfounded ideas that revere the white man and scorn those of color, while also serving as a nonsensical justification for practices such as slavery, racial segregation, and Jim Crow. In “The Trouble with Diversity”, Walter Benn Michaels dismisses the concept and veracity behind race, as if it weren’t a societal issue worth addressing. To ignore the reality of race would be the equivalent of ignoring the plight and shared experiences of minority groups. “The Trouble with Diversity” insinuates that “diversity” is incompatible with the society we live in; this does not mean that people of color should have to encounter racial prejudices, whether in subtle or discernible ways.

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.

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

Pursuing significance is not merely growing personally due to a challenging medical situation; it is choosing to live a life led for others because of overcoming adversity – to foster a compassionate connection with the community that will give the chronically ill an equal chance at flourishing. Selflessly acting as an agent for change via the promotion of acceptance and inclusivity of people with disabilities within society is significant. Becoming an attorney will allow me to live a life of significance by working toward successfully diminishing the stigma of disabled people being often perceived as helpless or faking their symptoms – since many disabilities are not physically visible – for sympathy from non-disabled people. Consequently, stigma related to disabilities is a major barrier to creating an inclusive community which can

She can't remember what happened. Why are guards here? Why is Dash bloody? Why is the prince holding her on the couch? And why the hell does her arm hurt? "What happened?" She slurs, annoyed to find her voice unclear.

Diversity. What this means is being different from someone else in some type of way. I believe, this to have a positive effect in the world.

“I was at my friend Nikki’s house.” She says, she looked even more confused but held her tongue, clearly wary of the officers.

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.

“,,.No way.” Ruby murmured, finally realizing what Rei was trying to get at. The answer was so simple, so obvious. How did she not spot it before?

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.

After Emma didn't respond, Ruby continued. "Victor said he's miserable, Emma. He said Killian won't go out with them anymore, he won't talk to them, and he won't even leave his apartment! Doesn't that sound familiar?" This time Emma looked up and she couldn't help but see the sadness and pity in Ruby's eyes. There was a part of her that wanted to deny Ruby, tell her everything was fine, but another part of her wanted to cry on her shoulder and tell her how miserable she was too. Weakness was something Emma did not show, she had to stay strong and keep all her feelings to herself.

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 class, we had three guest speakers that came to talk to our Diversity class. The first two were a pair, that included Wayne Hawk and Jewel Mosley-Edmonds. Hawk’s speech covered information on how to achieve the Child Abuse and Neglect Certificate, and Jewel spoke more in depth about the social work program. The third guest speaker was Jim Ritcher; who presented a lecture on privilege.
