Values Of Diversity, Justice And Sustainability

According to the Equality and Human Rights Commission First Triennial Review 2010 “The Equality Act 2010 complements and builds on the provisions of the Equality Act 2006, which itself strengthened several aspects of discrimination law and set out the roles and responsibilities of the Equality and Human Rights Commission.”

When contemplating the subject of diversity in relation to ethics, several questions may arise for the first-year counseling student. These inquiries may be broad or rather specific. Primarily, one may wonder if the topic of diversity itself is such a significant subject that it is outlined in a code of ethics. Secondarily, if diversity is addressed, is it treated as a singular subject or broadly covered under an umbrella of principles? Consequently, every student should strive to understand how professionals best respond to the range of issues involving diversity. One may retort that while “everyday” people may dismiss the issue, diversity is indeed an important matter worthy of attention,

There are many valuable aspects to living in a diverse community, but the most valuable to me is the wide range of perspectives on world problems, and local situations. With a more diverse student body, People will bring new insights and ideas that others may not have thought of. It can also educate people about cultures, traditions, and backgrounds other than my own. This can be very helpful because with the knowledge of another culture,

In Common hour, we learned about Diversity, Community, & Social Justice. We learned that Diversity and Social Identity are interconnected, one cannot exist without the other. Social Identity is one aspect of Diversity, while Diversity is based upon Social Identity. However, both of these concepts depend on whether you experience Privilege and Oppression. Like Diversity and Social Identity, Privilege and Oppression cannot exist without the other. On the other hand, it’s not necessarily good that Privilege can only exist because of Oppression because people, regardless of their own personal accomplishments, are judged and discriminated by others.

One of the most challenging professions for African American males is social work. As a social worker, I have realized that I have to work under two domains. The first one is to work under the race identity and the second one is to work as a class identity. Although I am proud of being an African American, I usually feel sorry for myself being from unprivileged social class in the American society. The identity of being an African American male has affected my social work in many aspects. This is because it has made it impossible to carry out my professional duties because of negative perspectives and discrimination in the society. African American social workers are considered to be incompetent by the rest of the society hence making it impossible to delegate duties without any form of discrimination. This paper provides my own reflections as an African American male in the field of social work and how this identity has affected my practice in community work and advocacy duties.

Yes, empowerment, diversity, and social justice issues are closely related to minority groups and women, but I wouldn’t say the above issues are only relevant to minority groups and women. According to an article by the name of Culture and Empowerment in the Deaf Community: An Analysis of Internet Weblogs stated, “Although deafness is traditionally conceptualized as a medical problem or disability, about 500,000 deaf people in the United States identify as members of an ethno-linguistic minority that takes pride in being deaf.” Also, this article stated, “A deaf woman had a fight with her brother, and called the police for help, but when the police arrived, they took the brother’s story as being the truth, and arrested the deaf woman, because they couldn’t understand her.” Yes, we as social workers are not to be judgmental in this field. Thus, this is why it’s important for us to fight social injustice, and seek to pursue change. Moreover, we as social workers have to be competent in this field, and recognize

The analysis of policy in regards to impacts on students, families and community, leads to a discussion of problems within our society and their influence on the very policies created to respond to these circumstances. Within the educational sphere, all polices contribute to the lives and educational experiences of every student and as a result, their families and the community. This case study looks at the Department of Education and Training [DET] Diversity and Equity policy and outlines a school-based scenario that analyses diversity and equity within the classroom. The case study analyses the policy and scenario to formulate discussion about how students, families and communities can be impacted by diversity and equity and

I see myself contributing to the fabric of University of Washington’s student body. We are a mixed racial family; my father is Hispanic, and my mother is Caucasian. The pillars of values that define our family and myself are: faith, family, community building, education and service. In that, I believe “you earn tomorrow’s opportunities today”, and that “everyday matters”. I hold a strong work ethic, a positive attitude, and I am resilient. I volunteer in multiple organizations such as Bellevue Foursquare Church and district camps. I also volunteered with the Asian Language Pacific School, and took part in the Conversation Buddy Program, in which I used my background in Japanese to help the Japanese community. Additionally, I tutor my peers

I find that the concepts of diversity, inclusion and social justice to be important because they build on each other and have the power to change the world. When all of these aspects work together and are acknowledged then we are able to work toward changing social norms and creating aspects in society that are focused on equity, rather than equality. Of course, social justice should be the goal that we as individuals want to achieve in liberating areas of our that have limited and restrained others. I connect diversity and appreciating diversity with being the foundation to this equation of equality because individuals need to understand that there will be differences between people. I enjoy the statement on, “… Who is in the room?” because it starts to explain the variations in personal characteristics within a group of people. This is going to be part of my position as an RA within Resident Life because a floor’s residence are going to have wide range in their own diversities through their age, sexual orientation, journeys to get to college, race and ethnicity, etc. I am proud to have experienced the things I have and lived and go to high school in such a place like Aurora, CO to where I was able to live and embrace a diverse community. I came to define this diversity to be normal, but coming up to CSU and Fort Collins has shown me how much of Colorado does not have the same kind of standards. The next support beam to building this idea that works toward social would be

Imagine the chaos in the world without any governing documents being enforced. Not having documents like the constitution would affect us in many ways. Our laws, beliefs, culture and many other things would be changed. Americans need a governing document in order to establish keeping communities civilized and organized and it should guarantee Freedom Equality and Diversity.

Throughout history social justice has proven to be a factor which has addressed the prejudices involving people of all diversities. Social justice has shown no partiality to the individual snared, tormenting the minds of those who have not been just recipients of fairness. The victims of social injustice suffer greatly and continue to suffer from the lack of civilian aid. The world has been prone to the intolerable acts of social injustice; a cause we could not abscond. There are questions of how one can tackle these actions and affairs to solve a protracted complication. The fight to diminish social injustice is to promote social justice and embrace diversity. The longer we stay oblivious to the effects and damages controlled by social injustice, we will perish from the consequences. The solutions contain two main factors: The educational process of understanding social justice and clarifying cultural diversity by spreading awareness of how these two entities can help eradicate some of societal ills.

Having the opportunity to be a part of a campus full of diversity will open up my eyes to acquire the mind of a world traveller, able to learn

There are at least four as the most important: sustainability, demographics, diversity, and ethics. First, sustainability covers two bases, employment and environmental. In term of the employment, employees are given necessary benefits, as well as, pay in order to improve their quality of life. As for the environment, natural resources power economic and social development to ensure a long term healthier planet and the ecosystem is not disturbed. Given these points, sustainability protects the environment and human health without compromising our way of life..

When I hear the words culture and diversity there are many things that come to mind. Growing up I lived in a diverse neighborhood, went to very diverse schools', kindergarten through high school, and I went to church groups that eventually lead to me getting the opportunity to experience a whole new country and culture during my mission trip. All of these things have contributed to my knowledge and appreciation of the diversity and culture in my life. Learning about these things has helped me keep an open mind about the humans that surround me every day. It has also helped me to become more aware of human rights and the way it has affected our world and our culture.

In Chapter seven: “Social Equity and Diversity Management” (pp. 159-176) of Public Personnel Management Context and Strategies (6th Edition), Donald E. Klingner, John Nalbandian, and Jared Llorens start by stating t achieving social equity in the workplace has been a very politically charged issue for the past 50 years. The readings suggest that there are three major strategies in achieving social equity, they are equal employment opportunity (EEO), affirmative action (AA), and diversity management. Although often confused with one another, EEO and AA are two different methods of promoting social equity. Equal employment opportunity refers to the policy of treating all individuals in the employment process fair and equitable regardless of race and gender. Affirmative action refers to efforts on the part of the employer to address the effects of past discrimination when equal opportunity employment efforts are not enough. Diversity management refers to an employer’s effort to ensure that individuals of all backgrounds work together in a workplace and take advantage of the diversity which leads to productivity.
