One of the objectives that the team discussed was diversity in the workplace. Major corporations have encountered issues concerning diversity in the work place. Our team can directly relate to this subject in the workplace since all of us are diverse minorities in our individual work place. It was discussed in the group that diversity in the workplace is the manager’s responsibility to insure that the workplace is a diverse environment.

While attempting to overcome our own biasness can be challenging, acknowledging them can prevent us from discriminating actions (Harvey, 2011).…

Diversity is to have open ears no matter who or what the story is behind the person.…

People who weren’t taught of other social groups are usually the ones that are ignorant towards others. Ignorant people are usually those that are not knowledgeable of others who are different.…
