Response To Diversity

- Reflect on, with the children, their own responses to diversity and how they would include and respect a new child that comes to the school. For example greeting them and how they would make them feel like they belong.

What I found interesting in this chapter would have to be about Diversity “The New Social Norm " in the chapter it talks about the different cultural backgrounds, opportunity changes, peoples beliefs, and religion. I find this interesting because without social norms there would be chaos in the world. In today's era society is built upon the thought of citizen conformity to a prescribed set of values and norms. In the chapter, it states “The United States is a multicultural society. This is unlike a monocultural society in which everyone looks and acts alike and believes pretty much the same thing. Diversity brings with it both opportunities and challenges; it brings opportunities for people to find commonalities and share unique beliefs and

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.

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.

In looking on the subject of race you realize there is a racial stigma when it comes to health care. The American health care system is geared to treat the majority, while the minority suffers. As one looks at the African American society we see the racial discrimination in the health care system. According to the American heart association, “African Americans are 28% more likely

It is important to understand our diverse Americans because our country is full of unique people from across the world. Our society is built with people that celebrate their religion In their own way and our country lets us embrace our religion. Our society is an environment where people can exercise their religion without persecution of religion, unlike in other parts of the world where individuals aren't free to practice their religion. In addition, there will always be that Americans will respect you no matter what your background is, unfortunately there's also a small portion of Americans out there that will disagree with you and the choices you will make. As of right now there aren't many places to go without witnessing diversity at

Diversity is embedded in America’s DNA; this is best illustrated by the core message of our constitution. Though the founding fathers’ application of said document was woefully inadequate in terms of inclusion, and the United States has not always lived up to those grand ideas, we have steadily grown better at creating and inhabiting a more just and all-embracing society. Despite setbacks there is hope and progress. As diversity is the key issue of our, or any, time; we must continue seeking, promoting, and ensuring it progression. This is, in short, an imperative and enduring process.

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

My experiences as a first generation American, raised by Nigerian immigrants in a devout Catholic household, have given me the ability to love and engage deeply with people of all backgrounds and has taught me an empathy and compassion for others that I hope to contribute while working at Latham & Watkins. Because of my family’s unique background, and because I am the only man in my family, all of my relationships are with people who are different from me, whether the difference be in race, gender, ethnicity, or religion. Good relationships require empathy- an ability to view situations through the perspectives of another. They also require compassion- a genuine concern for the wellbeing of another.

Please provide specific examples of how your educational and professional experiences, background and philosophy demonstrate your commitment to diversity and equity, and how theses prepare you to contribute to Bellevue College.

I took a picture of people studying in the lounge on my floor because it shows a white dominated space. On the twelfth floor of Middlebrook Hall, the majority of the students are white. Almost any time I go out into the common areas, I am surrounded by white people, and if I so desired, I could choose to surround myself with solely white people. I am almost always able to feel at ease being surrounded by white people like me who have the privilege to choose to not discuss issues that might be uncomfortable for white people to talk about due to white fragility. Although the white students on my floor have the inherent power to be racially exclusive, we make the decision to be inclusive and make our floor a safe space for everybody regardless

When thinking about my diversity, you could think that, since I grew up in small town Iowa, I would have very little experience dealing with diversity of any kind. Fortunately, my family has done many things to expose ourselves to different cultures and experience diversity across the world. Although I am still stuck with some of the prejudices and biases that come along with growing up in a small, primarily-white town, I think I have also been well prepared to deal with the diversity that I have encountered at Wartburg College as well as the rest of the world.

August 25, 2015 was the first day of class and I did not really know what to expect. I just assumed that we would be discussing how to deal with diversity within the diversity. Instead we took it to a whole new level and went deeper and discussed other aspects of diversity that I never really even though of. I really liked how you showed us the video of the agriculture because it opened my eyes and I started thinking of other aspects of diversity. It was interesting because I had a fixed mindset and thought of one level of diversity. As soon as we started talking and relating everyday issues, I thought of one that I had never really thought of before. I am left handed and throughout the college in a lot of classrooms about 95 percent of the

Diversity means difference. The fact or quality of being diverse. People's differences can be many and varied. People are different in the way they look, dress, behave, believe and worship; where they work; how they live; age, gender, Sexual orientation, Marital status, Politics, Religion, Disability, Socio-economic differences, Family structure, Health, Values, Race, Culture, National origin, Ethnic group - yet also have many similarities. In a diverse society people need to tolerate and value differences in people so that we can continue to be individuals. Diversity allows people to contribute to society. The more people are economically active, the more successful is the economy and this then benefits everyone. Diversity

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.
