Diversity Club Reflection
When I started watching the film I realized that many of the situations depicted in the film are still happening today, I also feel that they will continue to happen. Each of us have our own views which develop depending on our surroundings and experiences. The most we can each do is to not have bias ideas on races, and try to see each other as unique different individuals. I don’t think that I would consider myself a character of the film, during High School I was the Vice President of the Diversity Club. I can say that I only see the human race and I wish that people could see each other in this way also. I don’t judge people depending on their “race” I see that we can each bring our cultures together to make a better world. I know that when

    I dearly love the film and maintain that it's one of the great pictures from the last 10 years. I don't know what the director of this movie (Spike Lee) intended the moral to be, but my take on the film has always been that NO ONE does the right thing, and this is the cautionary element of the movie. The racial message about racial injustice is very deep and one that every race should see. The climax of the movie is very powerful and deep. The heat is blazing, tensions are running high (especially racial ones), and under this kind of pressure no one behaves according to common courtesy and decency. The entire film is a chain of uncontrolled outbursts of anger that lead to everyone's misery.…

    The video Diversity Conversations: Susan Williams & Michele Norris was inordinately alluring especially once the video commenced. The outlook on race and how it is constructed and not biologically was immensely compelling to me because though we know that often times it is suppressed do to the societal issues dealing with race that exist today.…

    So the movie sketches many notable points at various locations. The movie reviles that all the characters working in the movie are narrow minded either they belong to the white community or the black community. The movie shows that both the parties are trying to inserting their cast or the community but no one is trying to promote the humanity. At individual level both the parties are trying their best for this…

    So the first issue is mainly a white culture problem; white people like to categorize those who do not look white and put the non whites into groups based on the color of their skin. Whites like to group together that which they do not understand. Man has been taught to not want to understand other cultures, this was apparent in the movie. Even the men of other races didn't understand each others background, or where they were coming from. It is important that if one wants to understand a race that they have to have an openness towards that culture.…

    By watching the film I have a deep understanding, I know racial distinction is not just by appearance, we don't really know what is race, actually the race is not important, but the race is still bringing great influence on people's lives. This film is about race, not about attitude and behavior of the individual, and in the past in the history of the institutional and policy in the United States is still on the basis of race, through sacrifice others bring interests for groups. The biggest benefit is the white, white we see at the time of life is so happy, but not because of their hard work, but because of their laws, courts, customs, even if the housing is a race.…

    Even though the entire movie was very interesting to watch and exposed very sad facts, there were some parts that stood out from the rest and deeply affected me. Towards the very end of the movie where one of the participants who had a colored ribbon on admitted that even though he was not happy with the way that his equals were being treated, he still choose to remain quite because he did not want to be picked on afterwards and simply became the part of the racist act by allowing that to happen.…

    After completing my first semester of college, I have found a special drive within myself to do more and more. I was fortunate enough to seek help from individuals who also see the diversity barrier as a problem and ask them to educate me on why this is a problem and how can we as individuals do our part. Being from a city like Los Angeles, where we can find an exhausting amount of different cultures, we would expect to have many different faces in multiple professions. Instead we see the minimal. I attended a conference at the UC Irvine School of Medicine that really opened my eyes to the problems of diversity in medicine. This is a conference that I will forever be grateful that I attended. Here I listened to speakers of similar background…

    It has been a valuable experience doing my placement at the Women’s Health Collective (WHC). I appreciate that the WHC staff as well as the WHC collective members were supportive of me to develop understanding the role of social and community services for women from the local area. Working with the WHC staff and their clients also allowed me to improve my people skills and to realise my strengths. Feedbacks from the WHC staff encouraged me to face and overcome my fears and weaknesses. Furthermore, I had opportunities to attend a wide range of workshops and meetings in the last 16 weeks. Learning more about the LGBTI+ community was eye-opening as I was not familiar with social issues related to this minority group. My learning as a beginning…
