Global and Diversity Awareness
Courtney Acton
Global and diversity awareness September 7, 2013 To me Global Awareness means to focus on the world as a whole, and study major issues such as the environment. It’s a way to get people to understand the world around them, and learn different ways they can help resolve these issues such as, finding ways to end pollution, and learning ways that you can recycle. I think that the term Diversity means that you are understanding and have knowledge of different cultures in your society. Diversity is also about understanding a person’s religious beliefs and political beliefs, sexual- orientation, age, economic status, and gender. I believe that Global awareness and diversity are inter-related in many ways. One way they are inter-related is in the global market. To be able to stay competitive in the market the United States has to create ways to sell their products to other countries. If we sell our own products with other countries we have to learn of their different cultures, needs and wants to be successful in our society. Another example of how global and diversity awareness is interrelated is the changing population of our country. As the population increases, more work force will be of people of different races and genders and people will have to interact with each other in this kind of situation. Global and Diversity awareness are also inter-related in the work environment. In the United States most of us have worked with others of a different background, and have learned to accept the beliefs, and cultures of others different from us. I see the world being impacted by global and diversity awareness by the recent hate crime that is being brought to our attention more and more every day. Many people in our society insult or treat others differently without even realizing what they are doing. I have personally been impacted by global and diversity awareness by seeing and hearing others being bullied because, of what they look
