We do not need to discriminate against anyone until we can look at ourselves first to make sure we are clean. We need to look beyound the core of there skin and what they are wearing, and the way they talk. Since this class I have steped back and looked around to see how people act with each other some get along just fine then you have the few that you can tell are uncomfortable.
I have learned that everyone needs to be treated as equals it does not matter what your age, race, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or disability.We just need to all get along and to educate others. What I have learned about my own race, ethnic or culture in history is that society and the media plays a big part of the sterotyping others on what they look like ,what they are wearing, and where they are from. I have learned that in my own race there is still a lot of discrimination against others. In my own race was some of the ones that were the ones that started a lot of the discrimination and prejudice back in history.That there is a lot of caucasians that are very prejudice against anyone that is not white and they do the hate crimes that are in the history books.
That the white males have more wealth and authority than any other group . That even though there are more white females they are still considered the social minority than the white males being the social majority. There should not be one group over any group. Trends in immigration will continue to shape the demographic of the United States the United States population will grow by the year 2050.
The population will continue to grow until 2050 there will be 438 million people in the United States, along with this the racial and ethnic will start to change as the years go by. The immigrants and their children will cause the growth and the shift of groups according to the United States Census Bureau the number of immigrants from 1. 4 million per year 2005 to 2. 1 million per year by 2050.
The increase of other groups will rise also during this time. The United States will become more populated and diverse as the years go by.The reason the population will go up is from all the reports and with all the immigrants coming into the United States. al and Projected U. S. Population Inc Acturease, 1960 to 2050 3 Increase in Size of Major U.
S. Racial and Ethnic Groups, 2005 to 2050 There are challenges the United States faces due to the diversity of its people. One of the challenges is the immigration that is going on the United States today. Today the current talk in congress is the immigration reform and letting over 12 million people live in the United States without having the right paperwork to be able to live here legally.So the United States Congress are trying to come up with the right solution, some are for deportation, penalizing the employers, is to legalize some of the immigrants and their families.
The immigration laws have been going through the United States history for decades. There is also some challenges in the education field not only with racial, ethnic, gender, special needs, sexual orientation, and age are all that goes into the challenges. In the United States there are challenges in the workplace for women, race, sexual orientation, age, and disabilities.All of these challenges are still going on in today’s world. Some of the benefits for a diverse society is with the immigration reform and to let the immigrants stay to help our economy. With the changing of the immigrants and making them legal to live in the United States they will pay taxes on the jobs they hold and will be able to spend the money so it goes back into the economy.
With the immigrants they usually will take the jobs that no one else wants to do. The benefits of having a diverse education are for the growth and success for all the people.By having a diverse education it brings about culture awareness and to learn how others have lived and we can learn from each other. Having diversity in the workplace will help the company’s increase productivity by having people with different skills, ideas, and the way others think about situations.
By having diversity we have communication skills for the global and international markets and by having different backgrounds you can reach more people. We can foster a climate of acceptance and culture pluralism in the United States.Culture pluralism is the individual ethnic group that has the right to live within their own ways along with the rest of society while keeping their heritage. The way to do this is to learn the different cultures of others and to let them know it is ok to be yourself. We need to treat others that have the different backgrounds and culture with respect and have tolerance for them to settle in.
This way we can all live together with peace in the world. By accepting others as they are we can all together as one and have unity and the strength to run the United States.The ways the media perpetuate stereotyping and prejudice is through the television, internet, radio, and newspaper by showing people only certain things. When 9/11 happened the media had only blamed the Muslims for all the hits on the United States that was happening. So all the people in the United States would not have anything to do with the Muslims and with their families.
Victoria Secret models are so thin that the media and Victoria Secret have to Photoshop the pictures so the bras and lingerie would fit and you see the perfect woman.In the case of Trayvon Martin it is not that is getting tried it is about a black bot getting killed. It shows a black boy in a hooded sweat shirt in the wrong neighborhood. The only thing you hear about the person that shot him (George Zimmerman). The hate crimes are going up in the world.
The ways media helps to foster appreciation for diversity is through television, interntet, newspaper, and the radio. The ways to help foster appreciation with diversity is to educate. Education helps with teaching values, attitudes, and skills.By doing this it promotes social development. Making the public aware this can show there is unity in diversity for all of us to work together.
The media can highlight the importance of serving mankind by including compassion, tolerance, love, understanding, sacrifice, humility, and commitment for all justice. With each year passing America is changing for the good of the people. We are not just talking about blacks and whites it is with all race of people. With the medias help we will become more diverse in the United States.
The ways individuals and the United States work together to reduce prejudice and increase appreciation for diversityis to make sure as an individual you do not have any prejudice and then commit to start to help educate others how working together will help the country you live in. With individuals and the United States working together helps diversity it adds to the strenght and to the unity of all. By both sides helping each other it promotes human rights, health, well being, and the dignity of all the people. With individuals and the United States helps in ways with communication through out the world.
With everyone working together our economy, political, and social conditions will change for the good of all the people. How I will change my own behavior to be more inclusive and pluralistic is to be the best person I can be and to be true to myself. I will treat others as I want to be treated and I will help educate others about discrimination and prejudice and it has no place in the world we all live in. That we all need to work together and to be in unity with each other. This class has opened my eyes, that there is still work to be done and I will commit to it.
