was born in an average middle-class neighborhood. However, one of the most important aspects in my life is diversity and embracing everybody's differences. Being born in America but raised by Japanese parents made me see the world in two different perspectives since I was born. This is probably one of the reasons why I am so interested in diversity. I also lived in a place and attended school where there were a lot of diversity. I remember in my elementary school, every year we celebrated multicultural
Diversity is the Military is a broad topic which has its advantages and disadvantages in military organizational setting. Serving 5 years in the military I have known how diversified is our nation’s military based on race, religion and ethnicity.

The two frameworks that are presented in chapter four and five in the textbook Diversity Perspectives for Social Work Practice are ethic- sensitive social work practice framework and world view frame work. Chapter four categorizes people on ethnic reality. For example an ethnic reality may be that a women should do all the housework and men should work. People with an ethnic reality have a set way that they think things should be carried out. There thinking is very hard to deviate from because they
it’s as if you get an instant feeling of family. There are short people with tall people, mixtures of ethnicity, blue-haired with blond-haired, and freshmen with seniors. It is absolutely incredible to see the diversity that roams the halls. It promotes academic excellence and embraces diversity. It’s an unreal feeling to be able to be the person you truly are without
“The Problem with Political Correctness” Although trying to preserve people’s feelings is undoubtedly a good thing, political correctness has created this all encompassing idea that feelings are all important. In many cases explored later in this essay, feelings are preferred over reality and objective fact. Fat pride movements are evidence of the idea of feelings over reality. Fat pride movements essentially are just there to make fat people feel better about being fat. People don’t want to accept
ecosystem from our day to day life. This project on ecosystems briefly describes its’ concept and illustrates how ecosystem considerations change daily our decisions, and why is this behaviour change is important. Acknowledgement: This interesting project has given me a chance to realise the importance of ecosystem and made me study the topic in detail and understand it better.

While I agree with Hurston’s idea of embracing ones ethnic heritage, I disagree with her take on how people should deal with racial diversity, I believe that in today’s society many people believe that by saying “I don’t see color” makes the issue of racism disappear, however I disagree with the idea of tolerance being what our society has settled on, which is connected to Hurston’s idea that our race simply does not matter, which I disagree with.

But why does understanding someone’s culture matter though? It matters because, “People from different races, etc. have different life experiences that flavors their interpretation of events. These differences can bring strength to the group if it is valued and integrated into its dynamics. However, it can take time, intent and the willingness to be open-minded and non-judgmental about the value the differences
equality, and love? There are many different definitions of what makes something American depending on how one views America. American Literature aims to define the values and morals of American culture.
