Political Diversity in the Developing World
Developing nations have historically been characterized by civil strife, political instability, high population growth and other social problems (Comparative politics). Some of these countries are now experiencing economic growth and moving towards advancement as they attain political maturity, but others such as Burma and Somali are sinking deeper into political and economic failure (Comparative politics).
Also in common, most developing countries are post-colonial, but the continuing impact of colonization has impacted these countries differently. In Africa, pre-colonial state traditions were weak and when the European powers divided Africa into colonies, preexisting political units were not maintained. This has resulted in post-colonial states in Africa that have trouble achieving a political identify (Chiriyankandath). Still, others believe that colonial capitalism in Africa effectively contaminated that capitalist model to the extent that it not accepted as a basis to frame the post colonial state's ideological foundation (Chiriyankandath). In the case of Latin America, some see the reasons for current-day political and economic problems as being that their development was tied to Europe and the United States during the late nineteenth and early twentieth century (Dependency Theory & Latin America). According to this source, this development has been conditioned by the incorporation of the region into the capitalist mode of production for the exploitation of Latin America's resources and the negative implications linger today. To many, globalization and neoliberalism are the contemporary disguises for continued colonialism in Latin America.
The negative impacts of colonization alongside the narrow Western and U.S. understanding of the unique situations it has caused in developing countries play a very large part in limiting political and economic development. it's difficult to move forward when the developing countries do not see meaningful change in store for them.

Diversity in Organizations If we are to successfully change organizational members' attitudes and perceptions toward people from cultural groups other than their own, then we must start by examining how to effect that change so that it is implemented through all four layers of diversity. The approach that this paper discusses is based on the following model: Individual Behaviors -- Group Behaviors -- Organizational Behaviors This paper analyzes results of diversity training studies
Today, it is not uncommon for managerial leadership to be drawn from one pool and placed in the other in order to facilitate greater intimacy between operational aspects separated by geography and culture.

Diversity Training The school aims to recruit students that will balance the spectrum of diversity. Before this can be accomplished however, existing and future employees of the university will need to be prepared. "Diversity is about encouraging and enabling all employees to draw on their talents, skills, and experience for the benefit of the business." (Bruno, 2004) Schools that are diversity sensitive will more often be prepared for the competitive recruitment
