¶ … diversity is a non-starter. In fact, even if a population is not 'diverse' as currently defined, it is nonetheless infinitely diverse. Each member of any group, defined under the standard parameters for diversity or not, is unique unto himself or herself. Diversity is, in fact, built into human society, as it is into the societies of the animal kingdom, the plant kingdom, and, if one wants to stretch it that far, even the mineral kingdom. While there is greater homogeneity in a box of rocks of one type than, for example, in a box of puppies all of one breed, there are still unique characteristics if only in size and shape.
But diversity, as a concept, is useful in dealing with and contributing to human society in the 21st Century. We have recently experienced a number of centuries in which diversity was held in low esteem. In fact, any population that was 'diverse' from the majority population was, in fact, considered to be little more than a box of rocks, with about the same needs, desires and rights for all too great a portion of human history in general,...
For a thoughtful person, embracing diversity consists in no more than this:
Accept others for who they are, and express who you are.
Diversity is a lot more than skin deep. It goes far beyond hair color, far beyond national origin, religious beliefs, preference in form of government, or any legal preference at all. (To be sure, illegal preferences are also hallmarks of diversity, but I would prefer not to include them, as I would not like to be seen as promoting them.) Diversity goes beyond native tongue, beyond abilities or disabilities (mental, physical or even spiritual), financial or social. As each human being's DNA is different from every other human being's DNA, so is the outward expression their genetic makeup produces. Even identical twins do not always think or act alike…
It is important to recognize the many different areas within adult education, and what type of students these areas attract. Ultimately, for the adult education department to be successful, it must attract a wide variety of students, and keep at least some of those students coming back to continue their education in order to be successful. Adult education serves a vital role in the upper education system, and it
women's entrepreneurs: Evidence from an East African Economy (Ethiopia) It is an established fact that the Micro and Small Enterprise (MSE) sectors can help large parts of the populace in underdeveloped economies like Ethiopia as the means for livelihood. African women are beleaguered with societal and cultural challenges and overall entrepreneurial attributes, and that is reflected in the lack of their entrepreneurship development. This study hence takes up the issues
TANF Time Limits The Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, or TANF for short, is one of the more controversial and maligned or one of the most lauded and touted social safety net programs in the United States. Whether it is praised or denigrated depends a lot on who is doing the talking and what their motivations are. TANF has turned in a political football on a scale that dovetails quite nicely
Abstract While there is only so much a teacher and a school system can do for a student, the school systems and employees within the same should do all that they can to inform and prepare students for adult life, the workplace and their place in society. There is so much to see in the news and other media that is very discouraging and disheartening. While at least some of that
Public Administration: Presenting for the Future Immigration Policy Reform The term "immigration reform" is used to collectively refer to all efforts that have been undertaken by a country to amend abuses and reduce faults in its immigration policy. These efforts could be geared at either promoting and encouraging immigration or reducing and even eliminating the same. A perfect example of the former is the UK's promotion of the absorption of foreign-educated health
Air Pollution Many Americans cities, however, are doing little to combat air pollution. There are many steps that can be taken to combat air pollution, and many cities are failing in this regard. There is underinvestment in transit, a focus on carbon-intensive power, and there are many cities that are designed in such a way that carbon pollution is a fact of life. Air quality can vary within an area, so
