Having food on the table, a roof over your head, and a job to make ends meet. It is a basic human right. We live in a global era where all people need one another to survive and succeed. Immigrants bring diversity to the United States, along with their cultures, and skills, which help make us stronger as a nation. Without diversity in our society, we would be self-centered, which means we need immigrants.
It is important to understand our diverse America because every day our population starts growing from people with different backgrounds. Our schools, jobs, and parks there will be people with different culture, religions, beliefs, or color skin. It’s important to understand our diversity because that’s what unites us as a great country accepting those despite where they’re from or color skin. As we grow, we want to teach the younger generation that it’s important to accept diversity and regardless of one's background we are all the same as humans. If you think about it America was made from descendant immigrants who have been here for generations and leaving their print of their culture every day as America accepting their background because
Hello Clara, in the first sentence, do you believe that diversity makes America stronger? Or just the overall highly populated land is what makes America strong? But, I agree, the political structure does become different once immigrants start becoming citizens and begin voting. Since we have individuals immigrating from Latin America, Asia, the Middle East, etc. They all have experienced a different background, so they are all seeking a different form of freedom or opportunities.
Beyond this many teachers gave poorer evaluations of students due to their race or ethnicity (Egalite et al.). By having more racially diverse teachers we can help students achieve and pursue success. Integrating this diversity is also important for white students because it allows the students to understand and value equal and fair opportunities for themselves and their peers. These pieces of evidence support that students' test scores are positively skewed when a teacher shares the same race and culture with the student. While test scores are important they are not
"we ought to be united by our diversity rather than divided" Those are the words that I preached to my best friend Juan that still ring through my mind. This was the sentence that proved that I was becoming wise. This was the sentence that could change the world around me.
Chapter 10 in Cultural Diversity deals with treating victims of hardships. There were a few key themes that impacted me more than others and I would like to talk about those. There were many subjects and points made that I found interesting, but to keep it in a two page paper I will summarize as best as possible. I will say that I have learned a lot reading this specific chapter, understanding how things that affect others can so easily be swept under the rug, or just expected to be forgotten or forgiven as atrocities from the past. Reading through the chapter I see that as a common theme.
Immigrants bringing diversity and culture to the U.S: Immigrants come to the U.S for hope of a better future for themselves and their family. Not to mention that, they help the U.S to be a stronger and diverse country. Immigrants bring so much to the U.S. For example: their culture, experience, traditions, foods, holidays etc. In the mexican culture; they carry their language, religion, and values.
Diversity and inclusion, with any future clients, should be personalized and should work their alongside rather than for them. This concept is imperative to me and I feel confident that I will execute this as a social worker. However, I need to become assertive with challenging discrimination, oppression and cultural assumptions. I need to attend more conferences that focus on this area of professional development. Next year, as a student with less responsibilities, I am hoping to immures myself actively in discussion about cultural competence.
Contextualizing the Concept of Diversity: This section discusses the concept of diversity through contemporary narratives and the legal definitions of diversity in the U.S. and India. "Diversity" as a concept in both countries has been interpreted in contexts of their history, constitutional reference, sociopolitical scenario, and demographic composition. In the U.S., the concept of diversity represents racial and cultural differences; diversity has been perceived, translated, and practiced as "differences" in race/ethnicity and social identities (Ghosh, 2012). Further, diversity in the context of social identity emphasizes historically marginalized social groups such as African American, Hispanic, and Native American. It is a well-known
Diversity & Inclusion To better deliver enhanced care for a diverse population of patient, it is imperative that healthcare organizations upsurge the diversity of their staff. As a leader, it will be my ultimate objective to develop a platform of diversity and inclusion in order to engage the rest of the team and provide first-rate, unbiased care for all. Diversity is paramount in healthcare for the elimination of health disparities in the quality and access of health services. The health of certain percentage of the population such as minorities continue to lag behind due to the issues such as access to healthcare and its quality. This has been as a result of ineffective patient-provider communication and also provider prejudice.
As a gay, black man, raised in a predominantly white and heteronormative suburb of Georgia, I long for diversity and a change in scenery. When I visited California in July of this year, I felt an immediate, strong connection to the way of life, the people, the personalities, and the ambiance. I knew that I needed to be somewhere where I could be unapologetically me and be accepted for it, and I feel like I could find that in California. I have always been a very expressive individual, whether that is through my appearance or just speaking my mind. My mother is a very closed-minded individual, and because of this, she and I have always had problems with her blocking said expressiveness.
All students are unique in their own way. In any given classroom a teacher is designated to, he/she must be able to cater for diversity. Students are diverse is many ways, for example, their motivation level, personalities, disabilities, interests ,language, learning styles, abilities, cultural background, socioeconomic background, past learning experience and their social economic states; therefore each student will learn differently because of their individuality. In catering for diversity in my classroom, I will create a number of strategies which will assist all students in fulfilling their learning needs. If there are students in my diverse classroom that come from a low socioeconomic background, I will cater for them by bringing resources
Diversity breaks up every person in the world all up into groups and it affect us all in everyday life. Diversity separates us all by Color of skin, Religion, Age, Gender, Nationality, Language, Major and the list goes on. It affects me on the daily basis like my major in college so I 'm put in a certain class. My color of my skin divides me into another group. No matter what we do or say Diversity will always affect us daily and you can never escape
Introduction The lessons I have experienced for education in diversity and oppression within a multicultural society have taken many different forms, however the similarities of these lessons are evident in the following reflections I have explored. In my reflections on gender bias, sexual orientation, race perspectives, religion and spirituality, and classism, I can see there was a subtle, if not strong, disconnect between the values I learned throughout my life and the current status of diversity as it is in modern societies. A new awareness and appreciation about the value set I once defended has evolved due to the subsequent literature and varied forms of media which I have been exposed to in the past several years. Values which surround oppression and privilege are usually just below the surface of multicultural relationships.
My heart was a drum constantly palpitating in attempt to keep something alive; in this case it was my adrenaline filled body. Diversity was spread among the talents that put on a show, but after waiting for hours, four men that called themselves Fall Out Boy strode onto the pitch platform just anticipating creating memories. Blaring beats started playing encouraging the crowd to gombol to the angsty song. Glimmering strobe lights illuminated beads of sweat down their flushed cheeks as the scent of sweat invaded my nostrils and the ballad carried on.
