The main objective of the diversity presentations, the first is to to provide an opportunity for students to interact with individuals who are different from you in a meaningful way to better understand their perspectives. The second is to supplement the discussion of diversity taking place in class. Having a diverse group of interviewees is great way to understand that they are all unique in their own way. Those differences consist income, educational level and political preference and it is important to welcome it and learn from it.

I think it is great that were looking at all different types of diversity instead just focusing on particular subject like race. Often times, since being college student and being so busy with my life, I tend to forget how important income, education and political diversity can be in the world. Seeing world with a different lens for once really made me think about not being so quick to judge people, we all have our own story and beliefs. In Malik Sanders presentation, I learned that everyone should have the freedom to be open about their political beliefs without being scared of retaliation. In Stephanie’s presentation, I learned that it is important to embrace diversity in the workplace because not only does it bring change but it brings something special to a company and help one progress in life.

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

Patrick Buchanan’s essay on the diverse demographics in modern America targets Conservatives and those skeptical about the benefits of diversity, and persuades those people that the pursuit of diversity and equality is self-destructive. Buchanan instills fear into his audience by referencing conflicts that occurred when people of different backgrounds and ideas diverged. Buchanan makes us feel insecure with our government by referencing past empires to prove our democracy will inevitably fail. Finally, by offering data and a logical explanation, Buchanan persuades us that diversity threatens the nationalism and unification that we value so dearly.

As an advocate for human rights, I take injustice that is targeted against a race or individual resolutely. Commonly, people make rude and insensitive remarks without remorse. Unfortunately, these remarks are made by influential American icons. Ben Carson, candidate for the presidential election, stated that he does not agree in having a Muslim president.

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.

Without a teacher, doctors would not be able to save the millions of lives that they do every day, nor would an engineer be able to lay out a civilization's prospective future, nor would a politician learn to lead and represent—there is a root to all, and education is what fuels the flame of growth and prosperity. The current educational policy and reform is taking the preconceived notion that there is something magical about teaching and assuming that all teachers can teach. For instance, former President Barack Obama’s Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) is a revival of the 50-year-old Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA); both fortify the relationship between national law and commitment to ensuring the success of the nation’s students—America’s

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.

Children all over the country are being taught many different languages. Learning different languages is important because our country is more diverse than others.

Today certain orange, blond-haired politicians are seeking to divide us and label groups of people as “rapists”, “drug dealers”, or “terrorists”, but these tactics are nothing new.
