For instance, diversity can have benefits in the topic of work. According to Forbes, diversity in the workplace is, “crucial for creativity and social justice,” and, “companies with a diverse workforce are 35% more likely to experience greater financial returns than their respective non-diverse counterparts.” What this illustrates is that diversity can bring about benefits not only for the employees and owner, but also for the customer/whoever the work is being done for. The 35% boost in revenue will help workers be paid more as well as make the company more stable, and the extra uniqueness in the product due to the diversity in employees may improve the quality of the product for the consumers. Furthermore diversity can help resolve and prevent altercations in our social life and even politics.

When preparing for this interview I originally emailed some other participants and did not have any response. After discussing with some coworkers, I was told to reach out to Dr. Ernestine Davis.

Education systems do not reflect the concept of “imaginary cosmopolitanism,” due to the fact that people within specific social groups listen solely to themselves as opposed to becoming radial listeners to the issues that create social injustice and racial inequality. All people need to engage in universal conversation by advocating social change against the oppression of racial groups in America. Bethany Johnson-Javois mentioned in her lecture that “a lack of communication and collaboration are the reason why people are being silenced and progress is being impeded towards safety in this country” (Javois 2017). She mentioned that the field of academia has played the most important role in bridging the gap towards improving racial equality.
