Diversity In 'People Like Us' By Brooks David

William Gass’s writes in his essay The Art of Self, discusses how “minorities should be promoted to major, and how sects gain possession of the holy” (43). This means that minorities deserve more respect and power than what they receive. While sects should gain sole possession of the holy, Gass references how non-minorities should get more respect and power than minorities. Another statement that connects to a previous comment written by Gass explains how some humans should let behavior just speak for itself instead of just relying on non-verbal communication. Humans cannot determine a person by looking at their gait or how much swagger they have, they have to look at the person’s personality and inside emotions and behavior before anything

Town in Ohio Holds Generations of Mixed Races Longtown, Ohio has held a mix of races for about 200 years, where interracial marriages have often occurred between African Americans, and white Americans. Despite the United States’ racist history, this town had flourished and thrived, though now its population has been slowly dwindling. Racial diversity is important, especially in the United States, where people from all over the word emigrate to this beautiful country. The articles “Ohio town holds rare history: Races mix freely for nearly 200 years” by Washington Post and “In the US, diversity is the new majority” by William Frey from the LA Times both include how races have affected events in the past and will in the future.

As someone who ventured out of a small town that was very close-minded to the outside world, I understand the value of embracing different viewpoints. This is why the mission of Georgetown resonates with me. Additionally, advocating for the underserved and treatment of the whole person are principals that Georgetown values which directly align with my own. Throughout my life, I have been a part of and witnessed the consequences of being a minority.

David Brook's essay focuses in the main part about the discussions and conversations on race, which is aimed to lead the readers to contemplate the assumptions we take for granted such as the critical question of is diversity a cared for subject in the United States?” Intro :- The occasion that gives rise to David Brook's essay “People Like Us”, is diversity in America. In his essay , David plainly and purposely confronts his audience – which are most likely Americans- with the reality of diversity in The United States .

Diversity, what does this unique word actually mean? Generally, this rare word means differences or variations or unlikeness. Today, research shows that diversity can be categorized into many context such as human context, ecological context, radio and telecommunications, business context and politics. However, Oxford English Dictionary offers different perspective diversity has another meaning for us to give a great focus on. They are pluralism, culture, gender, race, ethnicity, ethnic minority, and affirmative actions.

Nearly all religions in these respective countries are public in this way that the religions enrol their followers to get together in public places to worship. This cultural innovation, individualism and voluntarism contribute to the great diversity among the people of North America. Now, I am going to design the religious pluralism and cultural diversity based on their own country’s perspective. United States: Religion in the United States is constituted by a diversity of religious beliefs and practices. As a result, different religions have flourished from the earlier period beginning with various native faiths at the pre-colonial time.

We as individuals deserve to be treated with respect, kindness, and non-judgmental attitudes. All individuals all deserve the same rights and privileges as well as acceptance, tolerance, and self-esteem. Last but not least, all individuals have their freedom of choice and decisions. I believe us as a nation, need to learn how to socialize more and learn from one another.

Cultural Diversity is not something all countries have come to terms with. Some cities are more diverse and culturally rich more than others. I believe the one important factor of being an adult is to know how other cultures may be different from you own. In my opinion knowing what other cultures are like gives individuals and groups the ability to make sound decisions. Cultural diversity is something I love about living in the United States.

I can’t believe how my Cultural Diversity class has enlightened me. I now have a more detailed explanation of how immigrants arrived, where they arrived and why. I never gave a second thought to all of it before much less where our society is heading. It seems like there is a contest to see who can conform to a more unified culture first or moreover who can destroy it first.

In the article People Like Us, the author, David Brooks, argues that while the United States is a diverse nation as a whole in terms of racial integration, but block by block, community by community, and institution by institution, the united states is a rather a homogenous nation. People separate themselves to be around the ones they feel most comfortable with, be it by race, religion, social status, gender, and even sexuality. Instead of everyone in our nation coming together to be unified and diverse, “people make strenuous efforts to group themselves with people who are basically like themselves” (62). In the article, Brooks says, “But as neighborhoods age, they develop personalities (that’s where the Asians live, and that’s where

Throughout the course of time, it was common amongst white American students to be homeschooled. Now, despite the fact that any sort of racial segregation or discrimination is illegal, many African-American kids are being homeschooled since they suffer from such actions. In contrast, white children are homeschooled for completely different reasons. The main reasons why African-American families tend to homeschool their children are because of: Eurocentric curriculum and teacher’ attitudes, racial stereotypes, and harsh school punishments. Firstly, parents believe that the schools throughout the world are promoting European ethnocentrism.
