Diversity Reflective Report
Being on the Finance Committee for McCombs Diversity Council this last semester and talking to the various companies that come in to talk about diversity in the workplace I have realized that diversity of thought is substantially more important than cultural or racial diversity. This experience has inspired me to actively looking for ways to broaden my perspective of culture and thought; consequentially, I found GS’s diversity cornerstone program and would love to have an experience that not only furthers my professional development, but also my intellectual one.

    In today’s society, one has to be culturally competent and sensitive to diversity issues in order to understand others. The reasons for this are to broaden one's worldview of others and be more open-minded, increase one's awareness of others' identities and cultures, as well as increasing one's knowledge of different ethnicities, races, and cultures. This allows someone to work with people from different backgrounds and be more accepting of the various cultures and people we will have to work with.…

    Gender discrimination is quite pervasive in our society. Schools, childcare institutions, family, media, and other societal institutions transmit and preserve stereotypes regarding women and men. In the Western societies, conventional gender traits are frequently related to power – men and their specific activities are classified as influential, public oriented, important, brave, productive, strong, outgoing, and having increased value, social recognition, and monetary rewards. On the other hand, it is widely believed that the main traits of women include; family-oriented, caring, dependent, and passive.…

    So what exactly is "diversity"? Well, in short, it means differences among people, it makes each and every one of us unique. Over the years, Americans' freedom has been tied to religious and ethnic affiliations that privileged certain people over others. In the past, Americans have allowed freedom for some and slavery for others. In all, American diversity has been a common theme throughout U.S. history through the roles of race, ethnicity, gender, and religion.…

    When you go to work, you clock in, and you go about doing your job. You converse with your coworkers. You go to lunch with your co-workers. You even talk about what each of you is going to do on the weekend. This is a normal routine for you and for most people. Well, for some people, it is not. Lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender (LGBT) individuals struggle each and every day throughout their days to have a normal workday, like the rest of us tend to have. They don't get to come to work and converse with their coworkers, like the rest of us. They don't get to comfortably attend a lunch date with a coworker and it be considered normal. They don't get to even talk about what one another are going to do over the weekend. These things are not considered socially acceptable or even normal to people whom are not gay, lesbian, transgender, or bisexual. This is what I will be focusing on over the course of this paper. The specific work related or job related concerns and issues gay employees often encounter that are not encountered, or not encountered, as often, by heterosexual employees. I will also be discussing some strategies and recommendations for dealing with those identified concerns. I have conducted some research that I will go over in the course of this paper that will help me to explain my rational.…

    It is visible to see that women have come a long way in our nation to now from the beginning of our construction. It was not easy, and many issues are still not completely solved, because of stereotypes and discrimination against women. Stereotypes such as “women are bad drivers” and “women should not be paid as much as men”. However, there are many organizations that have been founded and used to help in fighting against such discrimination, and help in supporting women in equal rights, in places, such as the workplace and society in general. When our country was first forming, women were unable to vote for a very long time after it was decided they could not. They also had were expected to play certain roles, such as staying at home to do the housework, take care of the children, clean, and cook. The strength of women “shined” through in the most visible way during WWII. Many women were obligated to maintain their usual roles, and do a lot of the work the men would be doing, because the men were away at war. Women were also not offered the educational benefits men were in our history also. It was pretty set in stone that the men were “the thinkers”, and that there was no need to educate women. It is much different now. Women are able to receive education just as easy as a man can, not to mention the laws that have been made to protect the equality rights of women and men. The roles in women have changed drastically. It is now “the norm” to see a woman with a career, and many that have families too. Many households now share all of the household responsibilities, and often time the finances too. However, not everyone agrees that this has been a positive step in our nation since the Civil Rights Act. Many people still believe a woman should stay home and continue the role that was planned for them in the first place. A major issue that raises these opinions is the amount of crime and problems our nation has with our…

    After completing my first semester of college, I have found a special drive within myself to do more and more. I was fortunate enough to seek help from individuals who also see the diversity barrier as a problem and ask them to educate me on why this is a problem and how can we as individuals do our part. Being from a city like Los Angeles, where we can find an exhausting amount of different cultures, we would expect to have many different faces in multiple professions. Instead we see the minimal. I attended a conference at the UC Irvine School of Medicine that really opened my eyes to the problems of diversity in medicine. This is a conference that I will forever be grateful that I attended. Here I listened to speakers of similar background…
