The video Diversity Conversations: Susan Williams & Michele Norris was inordinately alluring especially once the video commenced. The outlook on race and how it is constructed and not biologically was immensely compelling to me because though we know that often times it is suppressed do to the societal issues dealing with race that exist today.…

Diversity is to respect everyone's differences, regardless of race, nationality, age, religion, culture, gender, beliefs, ability and talent. Each person is an individual, and by respecting this people can be valued on their contributions, and not subject to negative response due to their differences. Respecting and embracing peoples differences will allow for a better working environment, and will make everyone feel more happy. Diversity is important in the work place, as staff are employed on there previous accomplishments and job skill, their personal differences do not effect the recruitment decision. Where I work we have different staff members from all round the world, with different culture's, beliefs and gender, yet we all work together as a team, and every is treats each other with respect.…

In this essay I am going to identify and describe how prejudice and discrimination impact on individuals and groups in school settings, by researching the current legislations, policies and procedures that are in place for safeguarding the welfare of children and young people. I have thought about how our own attitude and behaviour impacts on the children and young people we work with and how important it is to promote anti-discriminatory practice whilst working with children and young people.…
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.…

Like every college in the United States Tabor College has many different programs within that students participate in. Ranging from band, all the different sports, music, fine arts, and computers. The diversity on campus is very noticeable to many people at Tabor. The reason that there is so much diversity is because of the different groups. Students tend to stay within their comfort zone so they don’t want to really socialize with other people afraid that they might not have things in common with them. This happens not only so much all over Tabor College but at every other campus across the United States. There has been many efforts into programs that try to bring the students together and try to have them interact with each other. Tabor College always tries to bring in students from all over the country and the world. There has been students from countries like Spain, Canada, and many others. All the students have different backgrounds, and that makes it so that students are always meeting someone new that is totally different from the last person.…

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.…

Looking at me you might wonder what I could possibly understand about diversity – middle class white male, college educated, married with two children, a boy and a girl. These broad generalizations describe me, but they do not define me; just as similar ones about others are equally uninformative. They note apparent features while failing to capture inherent uniqueness. To me, diversity encompasses respect and acceptance, concepts defined by actions taken to recognize and understand individuality, not simple toleration of obvious differences. Although I do not write articles or participate in protests demanding change, I quietly respect the dignity of individuals and value their perspectives. My service in the United States Army has profoundly shaped my attitudes and guided my actions supporting these beliefs.…
“Little lady, it's best you get out of here, it's not safe for you here.”, it's a phrase I heard more often than not while living in Baltimore, between the ages of nine and eleven. When I first heard this phrase I was convinced the officer and the city workers were just worried for my friends, who happened to be African-American and Latino, and I as a whole and just chose me out of the group to speak to. I am a white-passing Native American female, who lived in a city which has a predominantly, 63.7 percent, Black population.. I never looked at myself as privileged because of how I grew up, with a single mom, on the WIC program, and with no money to spare. But I soon realized, at quite a young age, just how wrong I was.…
