For me to explain if my organization practices diversity or differences we need to understand the meaning of these words and what they would look like in practice in an organization. Variations within a work environment can be easily mistaken for practicing diversity within a group. Differences can be very similar to variety but there are a few key factors that distinguish the two. Ahmed (2007) suggested, "The overwhelming response to my question about the ‘turn' to diversity was that this term…

alienated by the rest of society. But why did he do this to himself? Keller had been hurt by something he had held on to previously in his life. Keller’s perspective on belonging. His acceptance of the Nazi Party and his complacency had killed his Jewish wife and child in his mind. To Hitler, only the beautiful was necessary in our world. He collected art, and removed the world of that which he deemed ugly. Jews, Homosexuals, anything that stood out to him. Throughout the novel, Keller states…

We live in a world today where we are surrounded by violence. It seems to me that violence has increased within the last few years due to cultural and religious differences. Although violence has increased, has it really been effective? In my eyes, violence does nothing but hurt others. Instead, I believe that nonviolence is more effective.

[3] However, following European contact, the societal system was shifted to the patriarchal structure where the power and status is through the father’s lineage.[4] Thus,…

Distinctively visual texts attempts to manipulate the way individuals interpret and explore the images they see; critically affecting the way they make interpretations of the experiences they face in the world.
