I believe in diversity because uniformity is boring and can bring on problems in life. Diversity is important to me because it gives me the chance to experience lifestyles, beliefs, foods, etc. than what I am used to experiencing.…
In spite of decades of diversity policy and practice, America is in many ways more divided than ever when it comes to issues of identity. Critics from the political left argue that we simply need more diversity to overcome the division, while critics from the political right argue that diversity has devolved into an unworkable set of unfair entitlements that are themselves the cause of the division. Understanding the Misunderstanding, the first part of the four-part series Ourselves Among Others: The Extravagant Failure of Diversity in America and An Epic Plan to Make It Work, explains the sources and causes of the social divide in America, and also shows how neither the political left nor the political right have understood the problem or…
This paper will critically analyze Elijah Anderson’s paper titled “The Cosmopolitan Canopy.” Anderson and I share two things in common; we are both long-time residents of Philadelphia, colloquially known as Philly, and we both have developed deep insight on how individuals behave and react relative to others in public settings. In short, we both study and partake in the field of sociology. In “The Cosmopolitan Canopy”, Anderson argues that immigration, laws, and affirmative action have led to a greater diversity in urban cities and metropolitan areas, thus creating settings where individuals can mingle and interact freely with one another in a peaceful manner.…
Although, several of people might disagree with my opionion on conformity vs individuality because they probably think that being a conformist is a great thing that being a follower won’t led you to the wrong path , having negative influence, trying to be someone else can therefore affect your human being. Maybe those who choose to be conformist are not successful because they’re basically trying to be like everyone else copying other peoples appearance…
Many people assume that to fit in you have to be like everyone else. Most people think that you have to dress like each other and talk like each other to be accepted in today's society. People are losing their humanity by conforming an enormous amount , they are trying to become someone they are not. What happens to all the brilliant people that do not want to engage in society because they fear the will get out down or shut out with their different ideas? We as humans need to be aware of how much conformity can change us.…
It is important to understand our diverse in America because there is different types of people in our society. For example our color, race, sex, religion, etc. Although, we are all different we are all equal. Many people seem to judge by looks and it shouldn’t be like that. We should all get to know each other and see the different in our country.…
Today in the U.S people are from everywhere, and the U.S become better and better. Diversification has created today's America. People who think diversity is bad for the development of the country are living in the old days. It already become history. Let’s think about the U.S history.…
Our country is made up of a variety of contrasting people. America wasn’t always a diverse country. We gained diversity by people immigrating to America searching for a better life. In the articles,” A Quilt of a Country,” and “The Immigration Contribution,” it displays examples of how America is made up of many disparate parts and history to form one. The two authors, Anna Quindlen and John F. Kennedy used distinct dictions which made what was similar and different stand out.…

Developing a strong sense of identity is essential in a child’s early years of life (as it underpins the principles, practices and learning outcomes of the EYLF) and Culture is the key building block of identity meaning developing a strong cultural identity is essential to children's sense of who they are and where they belong. It is extremely important for educators/service to nurture, celebrate and reinforce each child’s cul-ture and support them in the development of their cultural identity in order to ensure that they are growing up to be proud and confident learners. Respect for diversity is one of the key principles in the EYLF and My Time, Our Place, diversity can be in many forms i.e. language, ethnicity, beliefs and values, family…

In relation to conformity, Emerson said that it was better to be true to an evil nature than to behave "correctly" because of society's demands or convictions. But is it still right when you kill, or rob, or do crimes just because that is what you want and the fact that the society loathes such deed does not bother you. Yes, we always want what's good. The philosopher Jean Sartre said in one of his works that nothing could be good for us without being good for all. And yes, they is nothing wrong if you let yourself be absorbed by the society and act "correctly" in other people's eyes as long as it would benefit or it will be better or the best for…
I believe that diversity is imperative throughout our everyday lives and in media. Diversity in media, writing, and toys serves a prodigious role in learning self love. Growing up, I rarely…
Diversity everywhere. Differences between people can result in conflict, no doubt, so how do we avoid that? A strong connection can be made between people, because of their differences, as long as there is respect. With respect, comes acceptance. I think in Texas vs. Johnson, American Flag Stands For Tolerance, and The First Amendment they all show great key examples of where diversity stood, but everyone listened and worked together to accept that.…
In the first place not everyone celebrates diversity like they should. It’s amazing how no two people can be exactly alike. We all have different perspectives on life and not everyone realizes or respects it. Not everyone has the same outlook on the world, and not appreciating it is terrible. We the people of America are showing our kids, the future if america, that it is ok to not accept people for who they are.…
