Many of us may ask, "What is Cultural Diversity?" "Cultural Diversity tends to be broadly defined in its current use in organizations to include a variety of races, genders, ages, ethnicities, classes, sexual preferences, physical abilities and religions." (Fine, 1) "A study by Professor Joseph J. DeStefano of the University of Western Ontario and Martha L. Maznerski of the University of Virginia suggests that diversity in and of itself is not responsible for how well a team works together." So then, what makes a team work together? One contribution to a great team is how well they have achieved integration. For example, do they communicate clearly, solve differences in a constructive way and do they generate innovative solutions.…

Currently I live in a community of approximately 21,785 people according to the 2010 US Census. Herriman, which is about 20 miles southwest of Salt Lake City has grown by leaps and bounds over the last twelve years. Herriman was founded as a farming community in 1849 and was incorporated in 1999. Herriman still feels like a small town, an idea which is held onto by its community leaders and population. I noticed while in researching the varying statistics for my city that I look like about 90% of the population. At 38, I am a little bit older than the average age of 27, but I am Caucasian, as are the majority of the residents. I noted with interest, during our last mayoral race, the current mayor spent the time to go out and knock on doors introducing himself to everyone. He made a significant impact on me as he stood and visited with my family and seemed to have the same values and ideals that I do. I cannot say that I have noticed a large difference in how minorities are treated by members of my community. In fact, in my local neighborhood we have a few families of varying ethnicities which have been welcomed and encouraged to teach about their homelands. It has been fascinating to watch and learn about the cultures from which they came and even to try some of the more traditional foods.…

So what exactly is "diversity"? Well, in short, it means differences among people, it makes each and every one of us unique. Over the years, Americans' freedom has been tied to religious and ethnic affiliations that privileged certain people over others. In the past, Americans have allowed freedom for some and slavery for others. In all, American diversity has been a common theme throughout U.S. history through the roles of race, ethnicity, gender, and religion.…

In simple terms, cultural diversity can be defined as the level of diversity or difference in a given society. Societies that display high levels of diversity exhibit many differences across that population. Differences can include skin color, religious affiliation, cultural practices and other ethnic beliefs and customs. Immigration is a major factor in determining the level of diversity that a given society is exposed to. Ever since the dawn of time, humans have traveled the globe in curiosity to interact with other civilizations. These interactions were either well intentioned to share and form partnerships, or militaristic conquests to expand territories and force populations to conform to foreign ideals. These such interactions helped to foster cultural diversity both genetically, as is the case with Attila the Hun, or substantively through the spread of cultural beliefs and practices worldwide.…

I grew up in the deep south were racism was still alive and thriving. My time was in the sixties when the Klux Klux Klan was causing trouble and nothing was being done about it. My parents would tell my sisters and me to always be home before the sun went down because they were afraid that we might be taken or worst killed. When I attended school schools were segregated, but all the students in my class were people of color. White students had their class and we had ours all at the same school.…

Looking back on the modules that I have already completed have heightened my awareness of the scope of the elderly population and the vast amount of resources that are there to assist us as we age. It has also make me come to grip with aging, or realize that I will be an elder in the near future and that there are certain steps I have to take, plans that I have to put in place and to start preparing my own path for when that time comes.…
An instrument like an Oscilloscope lets you view voltage variations over time. A Spectrum Analyzer lets you view voltage variations over frequency. A Modulation Domain Analyzer (MDA) lets you view frequency variations over time. Figure 1 shows all three dimensions pictorially. To analyze all dynamic properties of a signal, all three of these tools are required: Oscilloscope (v vs. t) Spectrum Analyzer (v vs. f) Modulation Domain Analyzer (f vs. t) While Oscilloscope and Spectrum Analyzer measurements are well-understood, Modulation Domain Analysis requires more explanation. This application note specifically addresses the use of a stateof-the-art frequency analyzer, such as the Pendulum CNT-91, along with TimeView™ software to obtain powerful modulation domain analysis.…
