Diversity

Diversity and Equality in today’s society It seems today that diversity is something that should be embraced but diversity is as distant as equality. In his essay “People Like Us,” David Brooks acknowledges that American society as a whole does not really embrace diversity and equality. In fact, most Americans group themselves with people who are just like themselves thus leading to the argument that likeness shapes American culture, not diversity and equality. “But people love it. Make no…

My doctor, dentist, and dental hygienist are white. I grew up in a small town in North Iowa and there were around four people of color in my class of 90. My family moved to the Cedar Rapids area when I was…

The Trouble with Diversity: Racial, Ethnic and Cultural Identity The study of diversity is widely exploited in political circuits in United States of America.

Between my leadership…

made the decision to cast white actors instead of letting minorities play their own roles. While Hollywood is known for being a white industry, over the past years more noise, such as the hashtag #OscarsSoWhite (8), has been made about the lack of diversity in their films. The problem, known as whitewashing, is being called out more and demanding a transition of the industry. Whitewashing takes away opportunities from minorities, misrepresents…
