n a childcare setting it is vital that each and every practitioner is aware of the Equality, Diversity and Inclusion policy and procedure and it is also vital that this policy is implemented in the everyday provision. With practitioners being aware of this policy they should ensure the activities they plan and provide involves equal opportunities and that every child in the setting is also treated equally.

Women have had a rough way to go for many years when it comes to equality. They face many negative things in today’s society and that is the way it has been for many years. History shows that women have been fighting for equality for decades, because many people believe they just can’t do the things that men can. There’s a website that has been helping women fight for that equality since 1966. That website is www.now.org. Before then women never really had any help. They had to rely on each other to show everyone what they could really do. Women have fought to try and end discrimination when it comes to jobs and economic justice. So the status of women throughout history has changed,

In 1989, the AICPA recognized a need for not only ethnic diversity but also gender diversity. Stemming from the Upward Mobility of Women Task Force, the AICPA’s Women’s Initiatives Executive Committee (WEIC) was formed in order to promote opportunities within the accounting profession for women. The WEIC serves to raise awareness of the gap in progress of women in becoming leaders throughout the profession by providing

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

You made some very valid point in your discussion. This country was founded on social and economic diversity in which it does tend to categorize everyone into a certain group to feel a sense of validation of whom they believe they are or should be. European Americans did this categorization as a means to ensure that society will embrace them as the superior race and blacks and Indians as the inferior race. This segregation of humanity was denoted as “high” and “lower” class groups that became interconnected within the social and racial institution. Additionally, these distinctions such as skin color differences in America today are thought to explain perceived differences in intellectual, physical and artistic temperaments and to justify the

Something that I learned in this course that I saw in the video is that these people are mentally strong in the face of adversity in America. For example, although the man named Joseph, who has been laid out from work several times, his kitchen was set on fire, stabbed, and hit by a car, his response was surprisingly dull. There's also a guy who has trouble sleeping because of nightmares. However, compared to the things they've been through before going to America, things like that were probably really upsetting at most but not enough to shake them as survivors that has seen and experienced much more than that. For me as well, what stood out as significant is when Joseph videoconferencing with his mother who both thought they were dead and

Throughout most of history, women have endured so much. They almost always had fewer legal rights and career opportunities. The main professions tied to women were wifehood and motherhood. According to "Women's History in America" (1995), “Women were long considered naturally weaker than men, squeamish, and unable to perform work requiring muscular or intellectual development.” The common stereotype was “a woman’s place is in the home.” Women went through the struggles of not being able to get an education, voice their opinions, not having the right to vote, and being viewed as property.

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

In my intro to social work class, I was able to learn more about the Diversity Certificate Program. When my advisor first told me about the program, I did not know if I wanted to do it depending on how busy my schedule was. But, after I heard more about the benefits and opportunities that I would obtain from this program, I decided that it would be a great opportunity and I wanted to be a part of it! Plus the program is flexible so I can be able to incorporate it in my schedule so I can graduate on time.

The primary need on our campus is a diversity program. With the opening of another middle school campus this year, our campus has gone from being one of the largest and more diverse campuses in the district to being one the smallest and least diverse in the district. A diversity program will allow the minorities on campus to share their culture in order to build a community that understands we are all more alike than different. Currently this need is not impacting the achievement of students on campus, however, if not address I feel that ultimately this could become an issue that may allow students to feel uncomfortable and create dissention. By partnering with parents and members of the community, I think a program could be developed that allows every culture the opportunity to shine.

“92 BLX The Beat of The Bay. This is DJ Rodsky” boomed the radio into my preschool classroom at St. Mary Catholic School. My best friend Emani's dad was featured on the radio that morning, and my teacher let the whole class tune in. While in may seem like an odd occurrence to listen to a rap station in a preschool setting, it highlights the attitude towards diversity that shaped my formative education. Instead of the hand-picked, curated diversity that sometimes plagues schools, this encounter demonstrates the raw, unalderterated diversity that kindles appreciation for all races, genders, backgrounds, or affiliations without any reservations.

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.

Land of the free and home of the brave is a phrase that many people use to describe America. Others may think of the United States when they see stars and stripes. Our forefathers strived to begin a nation that would be better than the nations of that time, and they surpassed that goal. When one thinks of America, there are many different ideas that pop into our heads. There are so many components that combine together to create this strong nation. Our freedoms and rights, diversity and equality, and how we overcome struggles are all ideals that represents the United States of America.

University athletic department, responsible for marketing, ticket sales, customer relations, corporate relations, student relations, alumni connections, and community connections. The diversity program has been lax at best, with half of the staff comprised by student interns, adhering to a standardized diversity protocol has proven to be a challenge. Ushering in the new year, with a critical cultural crisis looming over America, it is imperative that businesses evaluate and implement diversity protocols that exceed expectations, in order to protect the university, employees, and customers. Taking the interns turnover into consideration, is it vital to create an effective and comprehensive diversity program. Whereas, the interns
