As stated in the previous chapter connection, there are many challenges that stand in the way of urban education. The main issue discussed in chapter 10 of the book “Affirming Diversity: The Sociopolitical Context of Multicultural Education” by Sonia Nieto and Patty Bode, was the issue of bilingual programs never having enough support by schools. In addition “bilingual teachers have been segregated programmatically and physically from other staff members, making both teachers and students feel isolated from the community (p.380)”. This issue has always been highly debated because while some people believe bilingual programs work, others believe the opposite. Regardless of who is right or wrong, the truth is that we live in a country that

Professionally, it is my intent to develop lasting relationships that will provide the support needed to be successful in this field. Finally, I would like to give as many children, as many people who are in need of a voice the chance to be
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.

1- What does diversity mean to you? 2- How has being a student at the University of Utah been? 3- What is the University doing to make you feel welcome on campus, and how can it be more welcoming? 4- Do you feel there are enough educational opportunities for students on campus to learn about people of different races, ethnicities, and other identities?
Over the past years, America has had many immigrants come from all over the world to become American citizens, which allowed America to become a diverse country. The different cultures, languages, and the races make America the melting pot. While some people believe America embracing diversity creates unity, it can be argued that America is moving toward a new standard in which diversity and individuality are encouraged more than uniformity and conformity because people are being taught different languages and some people combine or teach others their culture. Children all over the country are being taught many different languages. Learning different languages is important because our country is more diverse than others.
How could diversity in the United States potentially lead to collapse? There are many elements that contribute to collapse. Whether it’s on a larger scale, like a country, or on a smaller scale, like a family. There is an infinite amount. But the most important one, is diversity.
We all know the Shakespearian play Hamlet and its many remember able cast. By either reading it in high school or maybe watching one of the many film adaptations. Though what do we really know about the characters? Is Gertrude really innocent in the death of her husband, or was Ophelia’s death even suicide at all, and most importantly maybe Hamlet really has become mad. Yes, even the charming prince of Demark cannot escape the clutches of insanity.
There is always a need for improvement of parental and community involvement to support diversity and the students of the school.

It also takes raising money to improve the support of parents and encourage diversity within school. The stakeholders that are involved include one assistant principal, two parents and a school based group.
In my mind, diversity—and the subsequent journey ones reaches to attain their own, personal definition—is analogous to art; the final masterpiece is always unique and beautiful, no matter the amount of time, effort, and hardship it underwent. And similar to art, diversity should be shared in order to promote creativity into the lives of others. In my art, I always see new ways to improve and stylize my art—no matter how much people tell me it’s already beautiful. I look at other pieces and see how different techniques and styles produced a singular image, and I was to incorporate that into my style and grow as an artist. Diversity is the same to me as art.
I yearn to be a member of a team of trailblazers in the global healthcare industry filled with diversity. I aspire to shape the world of tomorrow by improving the quality of people’s lives and the health of our planet. Diversity will be crucial to my achievement of this goal. As a biomedical engineer I will work on a multifaceted collaborative team. The diversity of this group will drive innovation, foster creativity, and promote open-mindedness.
Some may think that living in South Florida provides quite a bit of diversity, but in such a large city as Miami, our day to day activities do not actually expose us to a numerous variety of cultures as one might think. Attending the Diversity Experience at WPI would allow me the experience of meeting people of distinctive cultures and traditions in a setting that is not typical of South Florida. It would provide me the opportunity to converse and share experiences with other students that may have similar interests, such as robotics and engineering, and are seeking their place in the world. I visualize myself in a university where I can evolve and stimulate my brain with knowledge and innovation, while doing research, creating and inventing.
The word diversity is a word that can stir up many emotions in individuals. To be different and unique makes life more interesting, so I have always enjoyed being around people who were just that, different from me. Learning about different languages, places, cultures, and beliefs, keeps humans connected to each other as people in a society. However, the beauty of appreciating one’s differences should not be used as a tool to satisfy an agenda. Diversity for some has become a hot topic buzzword used to sell programs, products, and people the idea if one’s differences whether race, language, culture, gender, and lifestyle are not recognized then a racist or bigot you must be.
