The 20th century was a period of profound changes in the United States. It was marked by significant demographic shifts, cultural transformations, and social movements that shaped the country into a diverse mosaic. From the influx of immigrants to the civil rights struggles, diversity was a defining characteristic of American society during this time. This essay examines how diversity manifested itself in various forms throughout the 20th century and its impact on the nation. At the beginning of the century, the United States was already a melting pot of cultures and ethnicities.

Course Description: Ethnic Studies is designed to bring awareness and understanding of the problems facing the American people in the area of race and ethnic relations, primarily focusing on ethnic minorities. Ethnic Studies will focus on the nature and scope of relationships between minority groups and majority group in the United States.

Consumerism on the Rise The years of the 1950s and the 1960s witnessed significant changes that dramatically changed the ways American families and citizens’ lifestyles as well as changed the way businesses approached their customers and consumers. Out of the depth of a darkened economy the United States economy system was booming, more than what it had been since the stock market crash almost 30 years ago. Many areas grew as well as the economy. Around this time WWII had just ended and as a result, all the soldiers were returning from the battles that subsided overseas.

With the 90s came a heightened awareness of the nation’s ethnic diversity. People now demanded a fresh view of America as a truly multicultural society, a view that

As times are changing, so is the world’s vision of normal. Discrimination and segregation were a huge part of history, but the fact is that in this modern society, culture diversity is the new norm. Companies and organizations incorporate culture diversity in the workplace due to the benefits of various experiences, language skills, and productivity. Employees are the face of the company, and if they have the mentality of prejudice and ethnocentrism, it can affect the success of the business. While most people understand that the world is a melting pot, discrimination still exists in this world and these people are at a disadvantage. Whether it is because they are living in the past, had a bad experience, or have not been exposed to it, the world is a melting pot of culture, gender, and ethnicity. Regardless of how we are different, once “we can learn to appreciate that differences do matter and that becoming aware of those differences will make interactions with others much easier” (Devry University, n.d.).

The United States has Changed from a Melting Pot to a Vast Culture with Varying Racial Backgrounds

The First World War of 1914-1918, also known as the Great War, was the first total war in history. What began as a European struggle over the balance of power between the triple alliance of France, Britain and Russia on one side and the central powers of Germany and Austria-Hungary on the other, soon became a global conflict that involved the imperial powers of Europe, their colonies and lands such as the Ottoman Empire, Japan and the United States. Although the sheer number of countries involved in the conflict is enough to describe the First World War as a mass war, what makes it total is the fact that it was waged not only against the enemy's armies, but also against the civilian

Demographics in America have been reshaped in the past century. With an expansive immigration rate, the United States has grown to be a diverse country. The United States is quickly moving from being a nation that has a White Majority and minority groups of different races and ethnicities to one in which no single racial or ethnic group will be in the majority (Wilson, Gutierrez, Chao 2013). Although many minority groups are continuing to migrate on to U.S territory, some have surpassed others making them the more dominant minority in America. Latinos have surpassed African America as the largest minority, and the portion of the country that is white has fallen from roughly ninety percent to sixty percent (Hajnal, Rivera 2014).

According to the Department of Health and Human Services (2015) (HHS), physical activity generally refers to any body movement that improves one’s health by working their muscles. Physical activity can range from walking to running to doing yoga. However, the lack of physical activity is becoming an increasingly prevalent health problem in the world today, particularly women in developing countries. Regular physical activity is vital in women’s health to prevent many of the leading causes of death linked with insufficient physical activity. Cardiovascular disease is one of the leading causes of death for women around the world, accounting for one-third of deaths. Also, cardiovascular disease accounts for “half

This article discussed the growing racial and ethnic diversity in the United States. There are increasing numbers of aging adults who are immigrants, non-white, and ethnic minorities. The article stated, “Eight in ten older Americans are non-Hispanic whites.” However, there are less than two-thirds of Americans younger than age 65 which are non-Hispanic whites. Furthermore, the article stated, “In the total population, whites could lose their majority status as early as 2042.” Therefore, the United States is changing and will be more diverse in future years.

Diversity is what makes people different, not just culturally but in human differences. Having a multitude of differences in the workforce gives an organization the ability to use many ideas to reach a common goal. A person could say that a diverse group of people together in one room can accomplish greater achievements than a room filled with the same types of individuals. Managers understand the concept of diversity, and how important diversity is to the success of a company’s ability to implement programs that continue to develop a harmonious and diverse workplace. The recognition that diversity is a reality in the workforce has generated an enormous amount of activity over the years among leaders in business, government, and civil

American society is becoming increasingly culturally diverse. The 2010 Census indicates that the racial and ethnic makeup

The influence of race, ethnicity and immigration are hot topics in the United States of America because they have been misused by citizens to disenfranchise others from different racial inclinations. The historical injustices that have been committed against the Anglo-Saxons, the Mexican and the African Americans have been the major causes of disunity among the Americans. Slavery can be directly associated with the racial segregation where the white Americans have dominated other racial groups like the Blacks and the Latinos. The major jobs were allocated to whites while the immigrants, the Mexicans and other communities in the US suffered from squalor. This research work is aimed at dissecting the impact of racial segregation in the United States of America and the need for a more cohesive society where there is appreciation for the cultural diversity of the people. Race in the United States of America promoted seclusion, exclusion and segregation in many ways. The existence of racial discrimination has been evident in future generations and more work must be done to improve the American society.
