In order for all people to survive and prosper in America they must work together, and the more that they distance themselves because they feel as though they have to hold onto their traditions the more difficult it becomes for people to accept the ways of others as also being valuable (Takaki, 2002).
This does not mean that people should forget who they are or where they come from, but only that they should also be open to the experiences of others and why people do things the way that they do them. People can learn much from others, but when diversity is encouraged but cohesiveness is not there is little that is learned except how to keep to oneself, and that is not at all helpful. The American people only seem to come together during times of crisis or around the holiday season, instead of being willing to show that spirit of openness and goodwill all year long. Their diversity keeps them from understanding others and America has gotten so interested in being 'politically correct' that it has forgotten the principles on which it was founded, which is starting to anger a lot...
Whether a person is democratic or republican should not really matter, as all people have their opinions but also have things to offer to others. Without more people who are willing to set aside differences in the hope of seeing and utilizing similarities, this country may continue to pull itself further and further apart. That could be disastrous for the future of the nation and the people who call it home, regardless of their race, gender, political affiliation, education, or anything else about them.

How do gender differences affect communication? Generally, males and females communicate somewhat differently. Males tend to communicate very directly and to focus on issues, often without considering more personal aspects of the conversation or the feelings of the other person.

Males also tend to
2) Verizon's commitment to diversity meets the needs of America's changing demographics. Visible minority groups are becoming an increasingly large portion of the population, to the point where in some border states certain groups are projected to be the largest ethnic group in the coming years and decades. In the face of such demographic shifts, a diverse workforce can be a powerful tool for sustainable competitive advantage. It captures a greater
Therefore I reasoned until now and still do, that were discrimination as restricted by question 1 between students, faculty, staff and administrators a problem, it would come up, because other topics of racial inequality do freely come up in discussion.

Race and Ethnic Inclusion and Exclusion In Ira Berlin's (1998) Many Thousands Gone: The First Two Centuries of Slavery in North America, the author shows how groups in the U.S. struggled to exclude other groups.
