    Walter Benn Michaels's The Trouble With Diversity

    In the introduction to his book, The Trouble with Diversity: How We Learned to Love Identity and Ignore Inequality, Walter Benn Michaels introduces his views on why diversity has come to be more appreciated than in times past, as well as his main point and goals for his book. Michaels organizes his introduction with an approach that allows a reader to fully understand his goals for the book, but uses a style of writing that may prevent an audience without extensive knowledge of the subject to fully grasp the meaning of Michaels’ message on diversity. Michaels begins his introduction by discussing The Great Gatsby. In which, a penniless man, Jimmy Gatz, transforms into a rich man that is an epitome of the American values of the 1920’s but is still unable to win…

    Barbara Ehrenreich's Teach Diversity With A Smile

    In “Teach Diversity – with a Smile,” journalist Barbara Ehrenreich explains the current conflict between people who would like to replace our Eurocentric bias in education with a multicultural approach and those critics and conservative scholars who are leading the backlash against multiculturalism and “political correctness.” Writing for readers of Time magazine, Ehrenreich uses her own experience growing up in the 1950s to explain that her narrow education left her a “victim of monoculturalism,” ill-equipped to cope with America’s growing cultural diversity. Ehrenreich applauds multiculturalism’s goal of preparing people for a culturally diverse world, but she is impatient at the “haughty stance” of the P.C. people because they mistake “verbal purification for genuine social reform” and they arrogantly bully people and “correct” their language. Since actions speak louder than words, Ehrenreich argues, the multiculturalists should focus more on genuine social reform – paying equal salaries to men and women, creating access for people with disabilities, and reducing date rape and alcohol abuse. The solution to the problem,…

    This has caused prevalent cultures in America to have incorrect or offensive understandings and assumptions about diverse cultures and values. Both articles reveal the sad truth that the way whites perceive different cultures and ethnic groups influences how these groups are represented in children’s literacy. Both texts also suggest that many “quality” multicultural texts have skewed and tainted representations of diverse cultures and ethnic groups (Bruce,…

    Cultural Diversity Research Paper

    Before volunteering at Roosevelt, I only thought of the word “diversity” in the sense of race and ethnicity. Now, I realize that diversity can span the entire spectrum of human life – from sexuality and social class to race and religious beliefs. I find that diversity in itself can serve as an asset to any individual or community. When a person only spends their time with like-minded people, they close the door to learning opportunities and allow prejudice to flow in. Roosevelt’s wide diversity enables persons at the school to engage in constructive conversations on both interpersonal and school wide platforms, opening lines of conversation between individuals from many different backgrounds.…

    Chapter 3: Diversity In The Classroom

    Chapter 3 is a very critical chapter because it touches on diversity in the classroom. Label jars not people was a very important heading, I thought was critical in the chapter. Many labels are often attached to people like the stated and it is very important we see students as children and students not labels. As future teachers it is important for us to promote respect for student’s culture, race, and ethnic identity and we should highlight everyone’s culture and ethnic background in our classrooms. We could highlight students cultures and ethnic backgrounds in many ways for example we could create an assignment where student’s talk about their ethnic backgrounds and cultures or have student’s bring something that is a part of their culture.…

    Through the words and pictures in this book, A Bad Case of Stripes, by David Shannon, children are being taught to be themselves. The patterns and images that show up on her skin do not represent what she is feeling on the inside, but instead, she is changing based on what other people are telling her she should be. The illustrations and text of this book interact in order to fill in the gaps for the reader. The pictures enhance what is being said in the book.

    Summary: The Importance Of Diversity In Children's Books

    Here are ways we can decrease the chances of lack of diversity occurring in children’s books. First, authors should continue to write diverse books and they will become less of a hard sell because over time people of color will see that their diverse backgrounds are beginning to publicly be portrayed as good members of society. Rothschild clarifies, that people such as librarians and authors are trying to improve the children’s world of literature by writing books containing colored characters and with disabilities. Rothschild repeats, “We Need Diverse Books, claims that the organization is in talks with many publishing houses, encouraging them to hire diverse interns, and that grants from We Need Diverse Books will support some candidates who could not otherwise afford to take those internships” (Rothschild). Organizations such as WeNeedMoreDiverseBooks should continue to award and acknowledge books and authors with diverse characters.…
