How Can I Contribute To Diversity
If I can ensure anything for the community at the University of Kentucky, I can be another component of diversity. The involvements, I have had with people from different civilizations, the languages I speak and the fact that I am from another country myself are merely some of the things that aid me bringing diversity to a crowd. I was born in Nepal, nation prosperous in terms of cultural and natural diversity, which is a slice of my heritage that I do not share with any American Citizen.
The first and the foremost, I am from the land which lies under the poverty line; I have envisioned the worst and the best, ups and downs of life. Neither I have fat bank accounts nor do I own a big mansion, what I have is a big heart, which keeps on extending, in which I have accommodated my family, friends, teachers and relatives. I have love, nothing more, nothing less, for the people dear to me and I guess love has got me over through all the bitterness of life. …show more content…
Assuming this fact, I have attempted to adopt a distinctive life style as possible. There are many perks to be raised in a good family of Indian-Subcontinent, one of them is you get to learn more than one language. As for me, I am practiced in three languages: Nepali, English and Hindi. I bet there are only rare cases of people who have read the Ramayana, has completed more than 5 Japanese Animated and manga series and enjoys various genres of songs ranging from old Nepalese and Indian classical to American Progressive Metal. So can I be considered

    English 1000c Syllabus

    The late great Maya Angelou once stated that “Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends”. While her words indicate that our attitudes, cultures and values can define our differences she also suggest that we all embody a shared sense of humanity that we might come to understand through our interactions and acknowledgments of others around us. In the 21st century we have experienced an ever -increasing diverse population, the re-election of America’s first Black President, polarizing religion wars, and a more encompassing civil rights agenda that includes women’s and LGBTQ communities. So what if we asked ourselves “what does it mean to be diverse?” What are our investments in our diversity? What are our feelings and logical reasonings about diversity? More broadly, what does diversity mean for 21st century American culture? What role does contemporary social movements like Occupy Wall Street, #Blacklivesmatter and other protest movements play as we consider the meaning of diversity and difference? What is the role of the university in defining our discussions about diversity? Through critical reading, writing and thinking we will explore these questions in depth while engaging how diversity and difference shapes our attitudes about the economy, racial and ethnic difference, sexuality,…

    Eth/125 Final Exam

    The information that I’ve learned about diversity in the United States has helped me better to understand and to relate to other people than I used to in the past. I understand that diversity is all around us. If it was not for diversity we would all be the same. There would never be any challenges in our lives to make us better. When we go through diversity we learn new ways to better ourselves. It was a time that I never wanted to go through any type of diversity. When I was younger I wanted everything to be easy. As I got older I started to look for ways to challenge myself to do better, and that is when I was able to recognize diversity and what a big part it plays in our lives.…

    Duquesne University Personal Statement

    The Spiritan founders and sponsors of Duquesne University have always believed in welcoming all and excluding none; which is why the students, faculty and staff of this university come from a collection of different ethnicities, races, cultures and backgrounds. Diversity is something that is important to me and Duquesne University. Being an Carribean-American woman, from the suburbs of Middletown, Delaware will make me a minority in the city of Pittsburg. Being that the foundation of Duquesne University’s rich and vital community of learners is diversity in itself, I can be a key contributor to this community.…

    Diversity Issues In Today's Society

    In today’s society, one has to be culturally competent and sensitive to diversity issues in order to understand others. The reasons for this are to broaden one's worldview of others and be more open-minded, increase one's awareness of others' identities and cultures, as well as increasing one's knowledge of different ethnicities, races, and cultures. This allows someone to work with people from different backgrounds and be more accepting of the various cultures and people we will have to work with.…

    Why I Want To Attend SMU

    Growing up Iranian American, I was greatly impacted by the opinions of my peers early on. Classmates would criticize my lunch or convey evident shock at the fact that I was Muslim, so I grew up feeling patronized for much of my early life. Eventually, I began surrounding myself with others who were also in my shoes, facing the discrimination that came along with being different. Over the years growing up surrounded in a fusion of cultures has made me appreciate the diversity that makes each culture so unique. Growing up traveling the world, learning multiple languages and being encouraged to accept all that cultures have to offer is something that is very beneficial in today’s global society and something that I will bring to SMU’s diverse campus. Should I be fortunate enough to attend SMU I will bring my open mind and worldly perspective to the learning environment and clubs on campus. Within the classroom I’d apply my background in my desire to study conflict within the Middle East and ways to resolve that.…

    Managing Diversity

    In read the Barriers and Challenges to Managing Diversity there was several problems present at Cityside Financial Services. One the problem was how the Sales Division was divided. When the investor banker brought the company it was mostly white. Two different units were created in sales which one catered to rich clients and other one serviced the local community. Knowing that neighborhood was once predominantly white things has changed over the years. Know that the neighborhood is mostly black Cityside thought it would be a great idea to have African-American employee mostly on the Retail area. Also, there was problem in hiring mostly women and black employees from the community. In my opinion, just because the neighborhood in mostly blacks it doesn’t mean that your staff has to be that way. There thinking was that since the neighborhood is mostly black now we would have black employees to services them. This in my mind created inaccurate stereotypes and prejudice has presented in Managing Diversity.…

    Martin Luther King Influence On Education

    Perhaps the most pivotal point of my education has been the diversity I am surrounded with. Attending one of the best high schools in the state has exposed me to vast diversity which challenged my beliefs and led me to mature faster than friends at other schools. For example, in one of my classes, the person on my left is Indian, the person behind me is Jamaican, and the person to my right is Bosnian. Cultural diversity is just the beginning. I am surrounded by some of the most talented people I have ever met who can make provoking art, choreograph beautiful dances, create city-wide magazines, win the Siemen’s competition, and much more. Diversity within education is essential to the growth of students. Being surrounded by people who think, act, and talk like you doesn’t teach students perspective. That is why I am grateful for opportunities like the Porter scholarship which gives talented students an opportunity to get scholarships and contribute to the diversity of the University of…

    My Diversity Philosophy

    One blind spot I think I had at the start of the semester was the idea about disability. When you mention disability, I can honestly say that I always thought of the physical forms of disability. So when it came to helping accommodate for disabilities I would naturally think of things like wheelchair ramps or special seating in the offices. I never considered the fact that “invisible” disabilities were present in the workplace. Now when you say disability I think of not only the physical but also the mental and learning disabilities that can affect people within the workplace.…

    The Diversity of Races

    I believe that I will contribute to diversity at The University of Kentucky because I am a Hispanic female. I come from a different background than the people I grew up with. I eat different food every day at home; I speak a different language at home; I live a different way than my friends do. My parents never went to college but I want to go to college to get a really good education and make something great out of myself. I feel like if people learn to be around different people like me they will learn how to work with them in the future. For me to be a Hispanic female, people will see me and will get used to working in an environment like that. I’m so thankful that The University of Kentucky is such a diverse university because I would feel more comfortable there.…
