It was the great Mahatma Gandhi who said, “The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.” Thus, serving as an Advisory Board member would give me an incredible opportunity to continue rising up and reaching back to my community. I would be able first, join in the conversation because I was once told “alone we are strong but as a team we are stronger”. Secondly, it would give me the favorable pleasure of brainstorming with elite diversity champions to come up with suitable ways to reinforce the importance of diversity and inclusion. I am extremely excited and looking forward to being a part of ADCOLOR Advisory Board, which will be a major steppingstone in achieving one of my life’s goals, and I believe that my passion,
I find that the concepts of diversity, inclusion and social justice to be important because they build on each other and have the power to change the world. When all of these aspects work together and are acknowledged then we are able to work toward changing social norms and creating aspects in society that are focused on equity, rather than equality. Of course, social justice should be the goal that we as individuals want to achieve in liberating areas of our that have limited and restrained others. I connect diversity and appreciating diversity with being the foundation to this equation of equality because individuals need to understand that there will be differences between people. I enjoy the statement on, “… Who is in the room?” because it starts to explain the variations in personal characteristics within a group of people. This is going to be part of my position as an RA within Resident Life because a floor’s residence are going to have wide range in their own diversities through their age, sexual orientation, journeys to get to college, race and ethnicity, etc. I am proud to have experienced the things I have and lived and go to high school in such a place like Aurora, CO to where I was able to live and embrace a diverse community. I came to define this diversity to be normal, but coming up to CSU and Fort Collins has shown me how much of Colorado does not have the same kind of standards. The next support beam to building this idea that works toward social would be

In the wake of the recent presidential election a wave of discomfort, despair, and devastating anxiety has swept across some of our citizens. Protests and riots have emerged across the U.S. in an effort to make this realized apprehension heard. Those who feel negatively impacted by the election may feel lost or uncertain of the future for their families, friends, or for themselves. They may feel as if their voices have gone unheard.

I honestly don't understand why there is so much hatred toward immigrants when this country is only made out of immigrants. All we do is try to shame other people ethics background to try to feel superior when all we are doing is showing the lack of respect. People like this are being the disgrace of this country. We should be proud of the diversity we have and learn to respect one another. At the end of the day this world we live in is not ours because we are born to die. Might as well do positive changes in the world we live in while we live and not start with all this evil hate and disrespect. At the end we are all humans and children's of God. Stop this nonsense already.
The Readings for Diversity and Social Justice did an excellent job of discussing the many perspectives and factors that come into play when dealing with the issues of oppression, as did the video Separate and Unequal revealed the ongoing struggle of desegregation of schools across the nation following the Civil Rights movements. But there was a fault that I personally felt prevented the whole story from being told. There was a missing perspective, the opinion of the middle class, and so I present the article below from the New York Times titled, Middle Class Is Disappearing, at Least From Vocabulary of Possible 2016 Contenders.
An environmental innovation that has been introduced to the sport industry is the division of Diversity and Inclusion. In 2014, The Atlanta Hawks were in the middle of a crisis when the former Hawks’ owner, Bruce Levenson, email was leaked obtaining controversial topics regarding race and class. To counteract the damage the organization sustained from the leaked email, the Atlanta Hawks created the Diversity and Inclusion division, which Ms. Nzinga Shaw took office as Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer--the first in the NBA. Ms. Shaw along with her division of diversity and inclusion are making sure that the Hawks, as well as influencing the entire league, to welcome and incorporate stakeholders who encompass different races, genders, and
A diversity statement is located on most colleges and universities websites. The purpose of many of these statements is to show colleges and universities are committed to diversity on their campuses. Leaders of the colleges and universities believe colleges should give students the ability to see a global society on their campuses. This global society includes individuals from all walks of life and from different backgrounds and socioeconomic statuses.
Exclusion, as defined in Making Diversity Work, is the alienation or ostracization of a person or people group because of their classification (Carr-Ruffino, 2005). More than likely, the excluder views the excluded as inferior to their social group. For example, Catherine, the only female lawyer at her law firm, is often excluded from the conversation shared by her male peers. Exclusion results in the formation of ingroups and outgroups (Carr-Ruffino, 2005). The different degrees of exclusion are stereotyping, prejudice and discrimination (Carr-Ruffino, 2005).
Cultural diversity, or multiculturalism, is based on the idea that cultural identities should not be discarded or ignored, but rather maintained and valued. The foundation of this belief is that every culture and race has made a substantial contribution to American history. However, many people remain opposed to the idea of multiculturalism, or cultural diversity awareness, while others often support it and yet have no clear idea of how it should be taught. The diversity of the United States is truly astounding, as many different ethnic and racial groups have contributed to the social,
Diversity and Inclusion is a field within Human Resources that focuses on ensuring the cultural sensitivity as well as the cultural inclusion within an organization (RBC, n.d.). More specifically, diversity is both including and respecting differences of ethnicity, gender, age, national origin, disability, sexual orientation, education, and religion (RBC, n.d.). As where Inclusion is the state of being valued, respected, and supported regardless of what diverse background you are from (RBC, n.d.). One metaphor to further understand the difference between the two is: Diversity is being asked to the party, inclusion is being asked to dance with everyone. If you google “Diversity and Inclusion,” the first few
I am currently majoring in Human Resource Management and the impact of diversity on my field is tremendous. The concept of diversity is steadily changing and requires that Human Resource Managers and upper management, create a working environment that everyone feels valued, respected and not discriminated against due to their culture, race, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, lifestyle, age, pregnancy, ethnicity, disability, color, social class, or geographic origin.
2. Inclusion in Modern Britain Much has been said about the responsibility of RE to promote the SMSC development of pupils and to prepare pupils for their experiences and roles later in their adult lives (Department for Education, 2013b: 5). Considering the 2011 Census data revealed that 25% of people in the UK define themselves as having no religion (as opposed to 59% Christian and 5% Muslim), it seems that modern life in Britain will involve experiences with individuals who do not align with a religious worldview. This equates to roughly 14.1 million individuals who do not align themselves with a religious worldview.
The importance of promoting and maintaining a workplace of inclusion and cultural diversity within any healthcare organization (HCO) is like no other time in history as the U.S. population itself becomes more diversified. It is projected that by 2060 more than half of the population will be of minority race (US Census Bureau, 2015). With our country growing more diverse each year, natural history and progression would suggest that our fundamental institutions such as our HCOs should also become more diverse (Rasmussen, 2017). Achieving and maintaining profitability in the current and continuously emerging marketplace will be benchmarked against MHCC ability to adapt to these changes (Modern Healthcare, n.d.). The financial burdens related to
