Diversity and Inclusion Statement I have long been committed to diversity, and recognize the barriers faced by women and other minorities in engaging in everyday life and graduate studies. I born in country of challenges: the challenge to born as a second female while your families wait for a male to complete their happiness; challenge to be born in patriarchal society when gender remained a barrier to power for women; as gendered stereotypes undermined and devalued women’s leadership abilities; the challenge to be born in country that codifies the law of equality and justice, but still value man more than woman; the challenge of learning when I dreamt of being a lawyer; however, my family rejected the idea of studying somewhere far away from them. I just studied any major offered at the nearest university. Despite all these challenges, I am proud to have preserved and strived to be the best, and to have my grandfather Ezzeddin, who taught me how to be a man in a society where a woman is considered as minor and needed a man to protect and take care of her. …show more content…

I was available to the student needs, particularly to support them when they needed a voice to press for their needs and wants. Changing their concept of education and to love what they learn was a great challenge for me, but it was also one of the most rewarding aspects of my job. I now see my department as a place to develop an environment where student and faculty and staffs are able to develop their potential and achieve their personal, professional and educational

    Greg Lewis in “An Open Letter to Diversity’s Victims” advocates against the need for many languages in school programs, in American. Greg describes that those who are after what they refer to as “diversity” have been insisting that the American schools should be taught both in English and Spanish. The so called liberals base their arguments on the fact that, teaching a single language would obsolete the cultural identity of the Hispanic people. Greg’s arguments, use of quotations, tone, and mood show the need as to why single language system should be continued.

    Both my interviewee and I identify as working class, biracial, and first-generation women. Subsequently, seeing our families struggle through dire financial situations, motivated us to get an education. We understand how difficult it must have been for our them to venture to a new land and face language barriers that prevented them from working in a well-paying career. My interviewee and I understand that we hold systemic privilege by being citizens of the United States and fluent English speakers, a feature our families did not have. Thus, we both believe that pursuing higher education will provide us with stability and the best future for ourselves and our

  • The Lady of Luminosity: Henrietta Swan Leavitt

    The androcentric view of history often fails to acknowledge the achievements of notable women who have made profound impacts that have revolutionized the way in which we see the world, as well as the universe. Although the modernized 21st century society is more apt to recognize the achievements of women with an equivocal perspective with men, it was not always so. During the early 20th century, women were consistently denied equality with men due to a perverse androcentric, male-dominated perspective that deemed women as subordinate and insignificant. This androcentric perspective limited the opportunities available to women at the time, leaving them only with domestic occupations that were deemed acceptable for women such as nurses, teachers or clerics. Very few women aspired for higher education, and even fewer achieved it. There were very few colleges that accepted women at the time, save for those erected for women alone. It is because of this, women rarely e...

  • Diversity Initiatives Case Study

    I feel that placing the responsibility for diversity initiatives within the Human Resources department will limit the overall effectiveness of the initiatives for the simple reason that Human Resources is only a small part of the total organization. When an organization really wants to make changes and have someone or something succeed it will be embraced from the top down. Human Resources in some organizations does little more than recommend new hires to the people who will do the actual hiring. They may possibly recommend many minorities and women but ultimately the actual hiring will be done by someone outside the Human Resource department. How can a department be tasked with the overall success of an initiative if they ultimately can make

    Growing up in a lower middle class immigrant family, where neither one of my parents finished high school, it did not take long for me to realize that I was different and that I would have to work much harder than the rest of my friends who came from wealthy and educated families to reach the same goal. I learned at a very young age that things will never be simply handed to me; if I want something done, then I need to work with great determination in order to reach my goal. By furthering my education, I now know that working hard to reach my goal was not going to be enough but now being judged on the color of my skin and my background that I needed to work harder to add items to my resume which would help people overlook

    Although the gap between men and women’s employment is shrinking, there are many barriers that women and visible minorities must endure while seeking employment. The white male presently dominates many aspects of the work force which creates difficulty for women to obtain jobs typical males possess. It can be substantiated that being a woman can drastically decrease one’s chances of receiving a personal job of choice when examining women’s challenges, education and trades and sciences.

  • My Diversity Report

    Diversity is most often interpreted as the presence of various races or ethnic groups in a given environment. It is not often that diversity is associated and interpreted in relation to the presence of different age ranges within an environment. Every day of my life I encounter new challenges that illustrate just how important diversity in relation to age is and just how much I am able to contribute and raise awareness for this largely unrecognized group of excluded. I am a senior in highschool, I am also 14 years old. I take college level courses, and I am 14 years old. I play a significant leadership and service role in my community and my school, and I am only 14 years old. Because I am so young and I exist as such a vital part of my community I can offer an aspect of diversity to a college community that, for the most part, is unheard of.
