'Diversity'. It's everywhere you look these days. When you switch on your TV set, you open up a newspaper, or you just look out your window - it's there. It seems everybody has a lot to say about diversity, but what does it mean, what does it really mean? And what does the future hold for a racially 'diverse' America? Well.. let's look at the fine people who are pushing for the 'diversity' line. Who's opening the borders to hordes of illegal aliens in order to 'diversify' the racial makeup of the United States and allowing these criminals to collect welfare and vote? Who's saying we should have to make way for Blacks and Mexicans in our own society, forcing us to change our ways, our culture, in order to accommodate these people, and …show more content…
Nobody cared to how these people felt in our community because of exactly that: it was OUR community and if they were going to live here they were going to have to accommodate US. 60 years ago they didn't care about these people because they had no reason to. There was no reason then and there is no reason now, there is no possible benefit for us in bringing these people into our country; to feed them, to clothe them, to house them, to educate them and then after that to find jobs for them. That's exactly what's happening right now though; the first two, food and clothing are taken care of by welfare, housing is taken care of by the huge housing projects you will find in any big city, and everybody knows the color of people who tend to live in those. Education is taken care of by our 'integrated' school system and by bussing poor Black kids into well-to-do White schools just for the sake of 'diversity'. And after all that, they are either employed through the racist 'affirmative action' programs, or they sit back and collect welfare off the taxpayer for the rest of their lives while they find an equally 'diverse' wife, and keep her spitting out kids like a roman-candle. One can look at any study on crime in the more 'diverse' areas of cities, counties, or states, and you will see that as the 'diversity' level rises, so does the crime rate. The same is true with the spread of AIDS, syphilis, and other venereal diseases. So why the push for this
Diversity can be defined as ‘the state of being diverse’. Diversity literally means difference. Diversity recognises that though people have things in common with each other, they are also different and unique in many ways. Diversity is about recognising
Diversity has many definitions but only one true meaning. This concept Analysis is dedicated to exploring the broadened sense of diversity through active concepts with respect to term usage, and current literature research to support the understanding and relevance of the term itself.
Diversity basically means difference. Diversity is about understanding that everyone has things in common but also that everyone is different. Diversity is about embracing those differences because if everything and everyone was the same then life would be boaring.
So, why do we need diversity? As America grows, the differences in cultures among individuals become colossal. People are becoming closed-minded about others who are disparate from themselves,
Diversity means to value and respect the differences and individuality of people. This means to embrace the differences between people and to treat a person’s race, culture, religious beliefs, age, sexual orientation, gender, physical and mental characteristics etc. with respect.
Diversity: A wide range of characteristics and backgrounds, including social and cultural backgrounds, different religions, colours of skin, hair types and disabilities. Such diversity contributes to the strength of a community.
The idea that "diversity" is one of the country's great strengths is now so firmly rooted that virtually anyone can evoke it, praise it, and wallow in it without fear of contradiction. It has become one of the great unassailably American ideas, like democracy, patriotism, the family, or Martin Luther King.
Diversity is about recognising, valuing and taking account of people's different backgrounds, knowledge, skills, and experiences, and encouraging and using those differences to create a productive and effective educational community and workforce.
Diversity is defined as people coming together from different races, nationalities, religions, and sexes. Diversity has affected America today in a positive manner because it has given people the chance to gain
Dr. Seuss once said, “Today you are you, that is truer than true. There is no one else who is youer than you.” I think this statement makes a great testament to the greatness of being a diversified people. People are classified negatively by their race, gender, economic status, and many more categories, but what someone views as a weakness just might be another’s strength. The Merriam Webster dictionary defines diversity as “the condition of having or being composed of differing elements, especially the inclusion of different types of people in a group or organization.” I agree with this definition, but I don’t know that it fully covers the multiple aspects that go into the topic of diversity. My experiences this semester in class, in my observation hours, and in my diversity hours have allowed me to see a wider definition of diversity than I ever knew.
When I think of the word diversity, I think of culture, religion, race, religion, and background. Diversity means to mean being able to observe and learn from others that have grown up in a completely different setting and are accustomed to other ways of life. Diversity to me means being different, but not divided. Diversity is a way in which we can appreciate those who are different and open our minds to learn and love what they have to bring to our society or community. Diversity is not entirely based upon race, diversity includes people that have different backgrounds and different stories and life experience than others.
The concept of diversity encompasses acceptance and respect. It means understanding that each individual is unique, and recognizing our individual differences. These can be race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, age, physical abilities, religious beliefs, political beliefs, or other ideologies. It is about understanding each other and embracing and accepting the differences to become stronger as a group.
The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines Diversity as “the condition of having or being composed of different elements: especially the inclusion of different types of people in a group or organization (1). It is evident that diversity impacts every country worldwide, as there is not one country in the world that is not diverse. Although there will be the minorities and majorities of a country, whether a government likes it or not, each country is diverse in its own unique way. With this, we are able to analyze the problems of the past, deal with the current problems we face, and ultimately, we will be able to predict the issues diversity will cause in the near future. While reading, analyzing, and interpreting the article: Managing Diversity
The United States is one of the most diverse nations on the earth, originally conceived so, and often described as a great melting pot, as “all nations are melted into a new race of man, whose labours and posterity will one day cause great changes in the world” (St. John de Crèvecoeur, 1782). Yet, despite the country’s diverse population, the workplace remains a place of inequality as women and minorities continue to earn less than their white male counterparts (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2011; U.S. Census Bureau, 2009) and advance less in managerial and professional positions (Kinicki & Kreitner, 2008). The question of workplace diversity is a polarizing debate with proponents of diversity measures arguing the business benefit of
According to Merriam-Webster’s Online Dictionary, diversity is the condition of having or being composed of differing elements, especially inclusion of different types of people in a group or organization. Growing up in southwest Atlanta, it was rare for me to experience a diverse culture. Everyone surrounding me was the same: a black child attending public school. Low standards brought lower test scores. With little to no academic expectations from the school board, it was difficult for students like myself to be motivated to than achieve more than mediocre. However, I refused to be another statistic. I refused to let myself slip through a school system that could not care less about me. This influenced me to not only encourage myself to aspire
