The Importance Of Diversity In Lincoln County

The diversity and location of NC State is what draws me to this University. From the first moment I stepped onto the campus, to the tours and talking to current students, I felt the excitement of the campus. NC State is a rich community that is strong because of the variety of classes, teachers, students, and activities, and for the array of perspectives and experiences. From attending a small school in a small town, then transitioning to a larger high school, this feels like a natural next step.

For two days, I observed the first ten individuals entering the Jones-Sampson building located on the JSU campus. Observing these individuals allowed me the opportunity to explore how diversity is perceived from a small sample of the campus. I believe, a college campus is the perfect setting to view the hop topic called diversity. The population at JSU includes people from various countries, social economic backgrounds, class, gender, occupations, and sexual-orientation. According to the Webster dictionary, diversity entails the quality or state of having different forms, types, and ideas about something. For the purpose of this observation, the first ten individuals encountered were evaluated based on both their similarities and differences. The factors observed

The diversity seen in Washington County was in fact unique and although there is no short answer to why so many different European ethnic groups settled in the area, there are many plausible explanations as to the origins of their settlements. It is important to highlight the role of European immigrants as a whole in the United States before focusing in on Washington County. During the first fifty years following the American Revolution, very few European’s immigrated to the United States. Following those years, Europeans begin to immigrant in large groups for various geopolitical and economic reasons. Typical plains settlers were farmers in search of prime farm land that they could be the soul owners of. In most cases, European immigrants wanted to own land, and were unable to do so in their previous countries. Washington County was similar to the overlaying theme of immigration to the Great Plains. Washington County’s location in respects to Kansas City was a major driver for its diverse population. Many immigrants were able to travel via train to Kansas City, or if they took wagon, their goal was to reach Kansas City. With Washington County being relatively close to Kansas City, immigrants would flock to the area. With the Oregon trial running through the area, many European immigrants stayed in the region during the latter half of the nineteenth century. Furthermore, in the early nineteenth century, the area was seamed with roads converging towards Santa Fe, yet no

In Ohio there many different thing that makes us different as state. We said to be the most boring and we don’t have many interesting artifacts, but I think that there are many different things that you can find interesting in Ohio. There are many different historical regions in Ohio that a lot of people here don’t know about that makes us so different each city in Ohio have a different way of life because our ancestors were so different. This causes something as simple as dialect to be different considering how close to the south or how close you are to the north.

Being born and raised in College Station, I have experienced diversity. When I was in elementary school, race was never an issue. I went through each grade with a “class family” in which all peers were accepted and encouraged to learn, work, and play together. Students of all ethnicities felt a belonging and friendships were easily made. It was a time and age of innocence.

Baltimore County is a very diverse county, there are many whites,blacks, hispanics, asians etc… These different races get along very well throughout their area, they have very little problems. They have very prestigious high schools, with a lot of good kids. However, there is a problem that concerns The Board of the Baltimore County Schools. That is the lack of diversity throughout the teachers in the schools, people have been irritated about this. People of the county believe it's a real big problem, but others believe that it's not. There is a lot of discussion and controversy on what actions to take to make the schools more diverse.

INTRO: Prompt: What should “diversity on campus” mean and why? Hook: Does diversity help liberate narrow-mindedness? What exactly is diversity? To say that diversity is approached on school campuses is an understatement to the level of understanding in this increasingly globalized world. By its definition, “diversity” requires inclusion. Are school’s really working toward the inclusion of everyone? This means including color, national origin, socio-economic status, and sexual orientation. Looking at court cases and polls shown in the short articles, “Introduction from Place, Not Race: A New Vision of Opportunity in America” and “The Trouble with Diversity: How We Learned to Love Identity and Ignore Inequality,” their approach to strengthening

For over two centuries, the United States has a been a religious haven for anyone and everyone, regardless of religious belief. America has only been able to remain a powerhouse for this vast period of time because of their ability to accept and thrive upon diversity. Opportunities given in the United States allow and promote diversity, which brings forth understanding, perspective, and wisdom. Unfortunately, immigrants from certain religious backgrounds are not receiving the same opportunities that our forefathers believed each and every one of us are entitled to. Based upon the free exercise clause and the establishment clause of the first amendment, as well as section one of the fourteenth amendment, it would be unconstitutional to require immigrants to take a religion test.

It is important to understand our diversity in America because not everyone here believes or lives with the same standards. What may seem acceptable in one location, may be considered rude or offensive in another. It is also beneficial to be more knowledgeable of other people’s culture and how they interact among each other to create healthy relationships with new people. Learning about another person’s situation can also help you understand them and think less negative about others due to stereotypes. As humans we thrive when we come together, you will find that we have more in common than we do have of

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

"As a Texan, I have known many immigrant's families, mainly from Mexico, and I've seen what they add to our country. They bring to America the values of faith in God, love of family, hard work, and self-reliance; the values that made us a great nation to begin with (Ortiz)". One of our great president, George W. Bush, said these enhancing words and it now concerns me in this day of time. That now the world wants to imprison the Hispanic culture all for varies stereotypes. With President Trump theory of the wall this will cause many more issues not only with Hispanic immigrates but within America itself. Without the construction of the wall, America wouldn’t be wasting money, it will keep generating diversity and wall wouldn’t go against our founding father's rules and regulations.

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

Regardless of my town’s homogeneous population, I grew up accepting diversity and valuing individual differences even amid the same racial group. One of the first experiences of diversity I can vividly recall is the various religious beliefs within the Black community. My parents believed “exposure to the world around you” was one of the primary factors for raising a well-rounded individual. Therefore, we often visited different churches of various faiths.
