Since Lio went away, Minerva has been having headaches and bad asthma. She goes into her father's armorer and goes through the pockets of his clothes. She finds four letters addressed to her from Lio. He talks about his proposal that she leave the country with him, which of course Minerva knows nothing about. Furious, she drives the Jeep over to the Campinas house where she knows she will find her father's Ford.

In a terrifying dystopia, “People will come to love their oppression, to adore the technologies that undo their capacities to think” (Huxley 1). Brave New World, written by Aldous Huxley, shows the starkness of a world where uniformity is paramount and diversity is despised as the root of instability. No one thinks for themselves, but instead they simple echo what they have been programmed to say. Every person is bred to act and think the same as others in their social class. Diversity is shunned along with old world beliefs and conservative morals.
While creating a media project or program there are certain things you must consider before starting anything. Those are, the ethnic, multi-generational, ethic, and cultural aspects. All of these things are important to analyze in the creation of your project or program for various reasons. If you concern yourself with a specific ethnic group, things you are likely to encounter may be racism, or political matters. Whether you intend to bring up such issues, they are likely to occur no matter what

With any agency or department under the criminal justice umbrella, it is vital that the vision and overall goals of their existence are to be responsible for supporting the will of the majority and protecting the privileges of all people. These principles are outlined in the Preamble of the U.S. Constitution which directs individuals who are associated with the criminal justice system shall “ensure justice” and advocate “domestic tranquility” (Cronkhite, 2013, p.297). Agency employees that work in the criminal justice system must follow concepts that exercise discretion, which are the decisions that can deny a citizen their life, liberty or property. These employees will enforce the law and preserve the constitutional rights of the public such
Thank you for your response to my post. I agree Abby is an amazing role model for not only gender identity but diversity and oppression overall. Abby easily articulates how diversity and oppression are intertwined in all cultures and belief systems. Abby seems to have a natural ecological or systems perspective that has been developed through her own experiences which she easily transfers to highlight ongoing structural and cultural practices that are oppressive. I feel that Abby’s worries for her son were not about self-stigmatization but more about the freedom to be who you are despite culture beliefs and oppressive structures such as the gender stereotypes and segregation in the Hasidic community she grew up in.
M. Adams, W. Blumenfeld, C. Castaneda, H. Hackman, M. Peters, & X. Zuniga book, “Reading for the diversity and social justice”(2010) they explain social diversity and social justice. Highlighting social diversity is about social identity group differences and social injustice is the lack of fairness that produces inequality to a certain social group.

Chapter 2 was very interesting. It discusses oppression, and the undesirable feeling it brings to members within a society. To be more specific, Webster-Dictionary defines oppression as cruel or unjust treatment (Merriam-Webster, 2016). People who experience oppression within society, are known as minorities. These individuals are less in numbers, and unlike the mainstream population, they are very much misunderstood.

Diversity in America is an ideal that many other countries lack or cannot seem to get a grasp of. America has established itself as ‘The melting pot’ of the world. America is the shining beacon of hope to people who came to seek refuge and shelter from the parts of the world that were and are stricken by poverty. The Irish came when their crops failed, the Jewish came when they were being persecuted and executed by people who wanted power, the Mexicans came when their countries were filled with drugs and crime and they just wanted a better life for their children and their loved ones. But there are some people who do not feel like everyone deserves the opportunity to experience the ‘American Dream’, they feel like it is sacred and should be
In today’s era managers are challenged daily with disputes like ethics, diversity, working in teams, privacy, sexual harassment, and handling differences. Furthermore, these issues are discussed because they are constantly the debatable topics in the workplace. More importantly, handling differences and diversity is the current situations in the workplace.

It as if certain groups of people with similar attributes have one piece of the puzzle and by diversity you can accumulate different pieces to see the whole picture. For example, if a group was developing a shampoo conditioner for women of color and only had white men in their team. Will they be able to truly understand or see what these women would want? H&M controversy could be a good example of what happens when you do not have enough
Diversity in the media will bring awareness to situations that are happening in communities that not everyone is accessible to that, in turn, can better those circumstances. Due to the lack of diversity in the media, it has put a strain in minority communities which Nam goes on to quote Dori J. Maynard, “Lacking these voices, the ability of the media to serve the public interest is itself compromised. ‘The news media is not only failing to serve the communities, but the country at large when they fail to reflect what’s going on in communities of color,” said the late Dori J. Maynard, former President of the Robert C.’(Nam par.2) and the causes the media to fail in not informing people everything that's going on but Instead picks and chooses what they
