I Am Diversity
The world that I come from proves that I am diverse because I have moved from a white majority school to a high school with a very diverse community. The high school that I am now enrolled in is mainly populated by Hispanics. This has made me a diverse person because I have been introduced to different cultures than my own. I am accepting to all beliefs and cultures because mine was accepted when I switched school districts. The school that I came from had a certain way of living and doing something different was considered “weird” and “uncool”.If you seemed unusual to them you would not be accepted. At the school that I now attend students feel free to wear what they want without judgment, they feel free to speak their native language, and

    Personal Narrative: I Am Diversity

    To many in America, I am diversity. I represent a minority group, I am the exotic elephant in the room, and I am who companies include to up their diversity intake. My culture is the outline for my entire life; while it doesn't define me, it has changed and impacted my life is different ways. Diversity is the basis of all communities, and tolerance is a result of educating oneself on this topic. A group may be diverse in nature, but if not tolerant, they are not succeeding in being diverse in action. My life as an Indian-American student in a upper-middle class neighborhood may not seem to give much insight on diversity, but my experience has not been stereotypical. From an early age, my parents surrounded our family with Indians. It was not…

    Diversity In My Family

    Diversity is defined by the Oxford English Dictionary as “the state of being diverse” and “a range of different things”. To say that my family is diverse is an understatement. Not only do I have fourteen siblings, many of my siblings come from different countries, continents, cultures, and races. Because my family is large and multicultural, I have been exposed from a young age to the importance of diversity. Due to my early and prolonged exposure to diversity, I am no stranger to change and embrace it like an old, long lost friend.…

    -1This acclaimed movie which highlights the racial stereotypes that exist in America was a classic example portraying how everyone without much thought has some sort of prejudgment in the way they treat others of different races. This paper will examine my reactions to this classic movie and explain how it represented the diverse culture we have in contemporary America. I have seen Crash many times and have always been amazed at the realness of the subject matter and great example of the melting pot of cultures of the country we live in. As I watched the movie in class, I was able to relate to the characters more closely because what I saw on film is matched very closely at my workplace. I agree with many of the portrayals of the stereotype that were shown as I feel I have been affected by them. The movie producer’s efforts in showing the different cultures and the way they co-exist are very believable.…

    My Diversity Philosophy

    One blind spot I think I had at the start of the semester was the idea about disability. When you mention disability, I can honestly say that I always thought of the physical forms of disability. So when it came to helping accommodate for disabilities I would naturally think of things like wheelchair ramps or special seating in the offices. I never considered the fact that “invisible” disabilities were present in the workplace. Now when you say disability I think of not only the physical but also the mental and learning disabilities that can affect people within the workplace.…

    Essay On Diversity In America

    Coming to America from my native born country of Afghanistan was definitely a change to get a grasp of. Growing up here, diversity is very common. I believe United States is definitely a melting pot. We have people from all over the world settle here to create a better life. Growing up in the city of Saint Louis, I would say that diversity was a very common thing. I lived in a street where their were elderly American folks, African -Americans, Mexicans, and Bosnians. I was exposed to a diverse group of people at an early age. Low income communities such as the ones I have lived in tends to be the most diverse as oppose to living in Ladue where their the superior white race is the most common. Diversity is something that I have been comfortable with my whole life, being exposed to it as soon as I came to America definitely has shaped my mentality on this subject in a positive manner. During High school and my college life I have worked at various jobs such as Steak N’ Shake,…

    What Is My Diversity

    My diversity begins with my family's emigration to the United States in 1997. Migrating from a rural and quiet city like Namangan Uzbekistan, to Queens New York proved to be extremely difficult. The fall of the Soviet Union and the independence of Uzbekistan in 1991 brought Islamic revivalism to the country and with it, the persecution of the Jewish populace that lived there. Threats of violence and slander ensued and eventually, my family had fled the country. We arrived to America in hope of an inclusive environment where we would be able to freely practice our religion without fear of retribution. Through this experience, I've learned the importance on maintaining an open mind and an inclusive attitude. People from all backgrounds and religions…
