Diversity In New York City

Living in Manhattan is a struggle, its also prestigious and convenient. Consider that Manhattan has a population of 20 million, from that number about 7 million people commute to Manhattan for work.

In addition to fiscal capital, New York is a magnet and creator for human capital. International reputation of its education, healthcare, infrastructure, and amenity drives talents coming from the nation and oversea. DiNapoli and Bleiwas, 2016 claims that although most of the immigrants live on low-skill services, immigration contributes to the skilled industries in New York, for example, about half of the registered nurse are from immigration. High-tech industries, such as computer systems analysts have an increasing immigration occupation proportion rate (ibid). Immigration make up the population decline and guarantee the economy growth (DiNapoli, 2013). Additionally, despite of the economic contribution of the universities in terms of service

New York City diversity is often talked about and is one of the strengths that is often acclaimed by the city officials. However the stagnant nature of the diversification over 20 year period does not bode well. Maybe looking at the diversification over a larger period of time will tell a different

Since the six grade I always wanted to travel to Chicago for band. So I joined a band I had an extremely fun Time. I got to seventh grade and I was in concert band and if I wanted to perform in Chicago I had to make the symphonic band by eighth-grade. I practice so much in seventh grade that eighth-grade came around I was the second chair in the symphonic band tuba section. I made it through almost all of eighth grade year and made a lot of memories but, I still had one more to go, Chicago.

To begin my personal informative essay on diversity in the United States, I would like to point out what information has had the most influence on how I better understand and relate to others different from how I did in the past. I do not feel as though this class taught me any more than I already know about other races and ethnicities, in terms of, how their ancestors came to America, or what hardships particular racial or ethnical groups have grown through in the group’s history in the United States. What I do feel like this class has done for me is, put into prospective of how often and frequent prejudice and

There is a reversed relationship between the diversity and segregation of cities from Silver analysis base on citywide diversity index and integration/segregation index. By looking at the citywide index from Brown University’s American Communities project based on the 2010 Census, the percentage of citywide diversity index in Chicago is 70.3% . It indicates Chicago is the 7th in the most diverse at city level (45.0 % White; 32.9% Black or African American; 5.5% Asian; 28.9% Hispanic or Latino of any race; 13.4% from other race) . It also ranks the top as the most segregated city with -18.6% among the 100 most populous cities. From racial level, we see Chicago is as segregated as its citywide diversity base on mathematically method. From geographic

You made some very valid point in your discussion. This country was founded on social and economic diversity in which it does tend to categorize everyone into a certain group to feel a sense of validation of whom they believe they are or should be. European Americans did this categorization as a means to ensure that society will embrace them as the superior race and blacks and Indians as the inferior race. This segregation of humanity was denoted as “high” and “lower” class groups that became interconnected within the social and racial institution. Additionally, these distinctions such as skin color differences in America today are thought to explain perceived differences in intellectual, physical and artistic temperaments and to justify the

The United States population continues to increase in racial and ethnic diversity, therefore, it is pertinent that mental health professionals tailor their services to the needs of various cultural populations (Constantine, Kindaichi, Arorash, Donnelly, & Jung, 2002). The awareness that ethnic minorities experience negative consequences from being oppressed, resulted in the multicultural competence pedagogy and has helped counselors identify effective strategies to generate social change (Hage, 2003; Vera & Speight, 2003). Social norms that cause these injustices are identified, allowing for ethnic minorities to constitute and embrace empowerment. Moreover, this consciousness helps prevent therapists own bias’ from playing

“Diversity is about all of us.” Diversity is what joins us all together as a whole. It is what makes up the world. It can have a positive effect on a group.

Diversity is a very broad discussion today, it can range from race, gender, sexuality, political or religious views, or even mental disorders. In America, which is basically a melting pot of different cultures in itself seems to struggle with diversity in the one place it really shouldn’t, tv and movies. But how could the entertainment industry affect the way we view others? Simple, through representation. Representation is the act of showing off a particular group of people. Through this, the characters that belong to these groups, cultures or lifestyles act as representatives that show off how they interact with the world. This could be someones first time seeing how a person of a different race, sexuality, or religious/political views and however they are portrayed could become someone’s psychological alignment

Diversity exists all across the United States. It is defined as the state of having people who are different races or who have different cultures in a group or organization, according to Merriam-Webster dictionary. Along with the ever-growing diversity in America, brings along intercultural communication. Intercultural communication can be defined as a situated communication between individuals or groups of different linguistic and cultural origins. Due to the limitless amounts of diversity and intercultural communication across the United States, misunderstandings and clashes between cultures are bound to occur. These clashes have been as extreme to be used to explain violence and crime not only in the United States, but also throughout our entire nation. On the other end, these cultural clashes can be so personal in our everyday lives because of our expectations of a certain behavior coming from our own cultural backgrounds, as many others have very different cultural backgrounds and expectations of us.

I am currently at a placement site, where there is not much diversity when it comes to race. Many of my students consider themselves white or non hispanic with the exception of seven students. Out of those seven, two identify as African American, three identify as hispanic and the other two identify with two or more races. Besides race, I have diversity amongst gender, socioeconomic status, learning styles, accommodations, and modifications. My classes are comprised of more females than males who come from a variety of socioeconomic backgrounds. Some of the students come from well off families with occupations such as pastors, educators, military personnel, business owners, and doctors while others come from farmers, grocery store workers, restaurant employees and construction workers. Though there is nothing wrong with the occupations of the parents, it is obvious that there is a difference between the

The United States as a whole is seen as the land of opportunity. New York is a major central for diversity and because of that many people from different cultural atmospheres have brought their families and dreams to New York City. Although Immigration patters throughout the last 200 years have varied, New York has consistently seen people from around the world move to the city and call it home. From the earliest points in our history as a nation, New York has been a center for trade and economic growth. New York is known world wide as a cultural melting pot. While other states have had immigration surges, none have compared to the diversity and sheer number of immigrants that have made their way to the City. This paper will focus on

But this is the kind of environment I for some strange reason find attractive. Forgetting about the negative things that have been said about NYC, you have to remember that there are also so many possibilities in the bustling streets. The city opens doors for new opportunities and experiences, even if you’re stuck in a low paid job, it’s amazing to be able to slap NYC experience on your CV. There is so much competition between people that live in New York, the city will force you to constantly be the best the you can be and at the top of your game. I would like to be in an environment where I am constantly trying and encouraged to better myself, and NYC is the perfect place for that kind of tough love and
