I believe that AT&T should mandate a diversity policy because it will be able to make sure that there is respect between employees, employers and even coworkers. I believe that they should mandate a diversity policy because it means that the employees, employers and coworkers would respect one another nonmatter their religious views, gender, sexual orientation, race and color. I believe that even though Albert Buonanno an AT&T employee believes that his religious beliefs keep him from signing the current diversity policy I believe that he still would need to sign a diversity policy. I believe this because even though his and many other people’s “religious beliefs prohibit him from approving, endorsing, or esteeming behavior or values that are repudiated by Scripture.” (Buonanno v. AT&T Broadband) I believe that with it altered they would be able to …show more content…
This is because “Kant’s central principle that the imperatives of morality be “universalized” so as to apply to all, and that in all our actions we respect the other as an “end in itself” and never merely as a means to our own desires” (The Golden Rule In Kant and Utilitarianism) where “Utilitarianism’s stress upon maximizing the interests and happiness of the greatest number, clearly seem resonant with the spirit of the golden rule.” (The Golden Rule In Kant and Utilitarianism). Both Kantianism and Utilitarianism have to do with respecting others no matter their religious views, gender, sexual orientation, race and color. This ties into respect and therefore, I believe that AT&T should have their diversity policy altered to where it stresses on respecting others because it should not go against anyone’s systems of beliefs and anyone should be able to sign the policy without “religious beliefs prohibiting him from approving, endorsing, or esteeming behavior or values that are repudiated by Scripture” (Buonanno v. AT&T

    Diversity is inclusive not divisive and it is the glue of many successful companies. While analyzing diversity mission statements for corporations such Whole Foods and Gap Inc., I noticed that Whole Foods is more implicit in regards to the website map, while Gap Inc.’s provides many webpages on detailing diversity principals. Although Whole Foods require that employees under a diversity training program is not situated on their website. Both Gap and Whole Foods are dedicated to hiring from diverse backgrounds and operating in inclusivity. I really admire how Gap went a step further with their diversity approach by communicating “cultural sensitivity (Diversity Statement, 2016)” towards all stakeholders.…

One of America's greatest attributes is treating people equally whether you have the same beliefs or not, until today.…

    In “Google Is Trying Too Hard (or Not Hard Enough) to Diversify” (2018), an article published in The New York Times, Daisuke Wakabayashi asserts that Google has entered a moral grey area in which any attempts towards diversity reform will receive vast support from one group but sharp criticism from another. The author underlines viewpoints supporting and opposing the implementation of internal programs promoting employment equality by first introducing the corporation’s opinion that their lack of a diverse workforce is not “the way [they want],” then expounding upon the measures implemented to address this, criticized by Liz Fong-James who believes “people feel threatened” by such actions; she proceeds to present various lawsuits facing the…

    The Trouble with Diversity: Racial, Ethnic and Cultural Identity The study of diversity is widely exploited in political circuits in United States of America. Engaged from the presidential and ministerial speeches, it fits into their arguments without assessing the distortions that such a sequence suppose. Diversity is not a paradigm of equality. On this point, Walter Benn Michaels’s in his essay “The Trouble with Diversity: How We Learned to Love Identity and Ignore Inequality” allows to grasp some dimensions because "when it replaced the struggle for equality, the commitment diversity has weakened the political levees that contained the liberal thrust "(Michaels 2). In fact, despite the speech to deliberate accents claiming to provide visibility…

    The United States is considered the melting pot of the world as it is the richest in diverse cultures; however, in our workplaces today there is still an inequality of gender, race, and of several other diversity dimensions. As an example, there have been multiple reports in our recent news of sexual harassment of women and it is shocking that women, in today’s world, still feel compelled to keep quiet and don’t realize their own value and their right to not only say “no”, but to have the confidence to report the incidences in order to stop this continued behavior. It is also shocking to me that this type of behavior still exists. Why can we, an as American People, not make progress towards equality? Harassment is not equality; it isn’t…
