Ask the respondents the following questions and record their answers:
- When you hear the word diversity mentioned in the workplace, in the media, or in casual conversation, what meaning do you assign this term?
- Does a particular race, ethnic group, or other minority group come to mind when you think of diversity? Does one of these groups pertain to you?
- Do you think the majority of people in our culture:
-
- Respect cultural differences among groups of people.
- Show indifference to cultural differences.
- Lack respect for cultural differences. Explain each choice.
- If you were to make a suggestion about how our culture should handle diversity over the next decade, what would it be?
Compile your responses and write a brief reflection paper (two pages) on your findings. Specifically address the following issues:
- What did you discover was the general attitude toward diversity in our culture?
- Is diversity more associated with one race, ethnic, or other minority group than with others? If so, explain why this might be the case.
- Compare and contrast the respondent’s views with your own. How would you answer the same questions?
