...Part I Identify 2 or 3 issues faced by the aging population. 1. Physical Hardships 2. Unfair Treatment 3. Elderly Relationships Answer the following questions in 100 to 200 words each. Provide citations for all the sources you use. • What is ageism? How does ageism influence the presence of diversity in society? Ageism is discrimination against people who are older. This can happen in a number of ways. It can take place in the workplace, thinking that they are too old to do the job, which I’ve seen first hand or that they are too old to be considered for the job. They can also be discriminated against in ways that other people don't notice. Ageism hinders diversity when people of a certain age aren't accepted into a certain group of people. When somebody is "too old" to be accepted they might not get the respect or equal opportunities that they deserve in a certain situation. • What is the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)? How does the ADA address issues for the aging population? The Americans with Disabilities Act is an act that was brought into existence in 1990. It prohibited discrimination based on disability, such as religion, sex, and race. This means that for people who are older, it is illegal for them to be denied a job simply because of their age. It makes them more able to get a job and contribute, not only to society, but to their own life by working and moving up in their jobs because they have more experience and are more qualified...

...Diversity Worksheet Nora Shamblin ETH/125 July 16, 2015 Tabitha R. Barrett Diversity Worksheet 1. What is diversity? Why is diversity valued? Diversity is differences. These differences can be age, race, ethnicity, gender, socio-economic status, sexual orientation, physical abilities, religious beliefs, political beliefs, or other ideologies. Diversity is valued because it is through our differences that we are great. I think it is important to explore our differences in a safe, positive, and nurturing environment. I also think diversity should be valued because they enrich a society because they allow people to experience different thinking processes, to see that there is more than one way of approaching issues or living one's life. 2. What is ethnocentrism? In what ways can ethnocentrism be detrimental to a society? Ethnocentrism is the evaluation of other cultures according to preconceptions originating in the standards and customs of one's own culture. An example of this is how we talk about written Hebrew as reading "backward." Why not just say "from right to left". Ethnocentrism is detrimental to a society because it leads us to make premature judgments. It also leads us to make false assumptions about cultural differences. 3. Define emigration and immigration. Emigration is defined as leaving a country to settle in another. If you emigrate, you leave your own...

...Racial Diversity Racial Diversity: Historical Worksheet ETH/125 April 4, 2014 Stephanie Salazar Racial Diversity: Historical Worksheet Throughout most of U.S. history, in most locations, what race has been in the majority? What is the most common ancestral background of most members of this group? The most majority of the population of the United States is the white race, the reason for this is that many immigrants came from Europe and formed colonies in what is now called the United States. The most common background of white Americans is namely German, English, Irish, Scandinavian, Polish, Dutch and Norwegian. It is also a fact that many people of European ancestry also have a small amount of African or African American DNA. Most people who identify themselves as white, have a mixture of either African descent or Native American too. What are some of the larger racial minorities in U. S. history? What have been the common backgrounds of each of these groups? When did each become significant or notable minority group?

...Assignment ETH/125 October 12, 2013 Dr. Regina Pacheco, Ed.M., PhD. Week 9 Final Assignment My experience in this Culture Diversity course has given me a new insight and thought provoking information that has helped me to relate and understand diversity in a new and different way than I had before. Diversity can be such an interesting topic. When one mentions the word “diversity” several things come to mind. An most often, the first thing that comes to mind is the diverse culture, right here in America. To gain a better understanding of all the different cultures around the World. A person could spend their lifetime traveling around the world, from one culture to another. Why do that? When all one has to do is sit back and take in the daily occurrences and experience everything around them. Right here in America. It is hard to find a country more culturally diverse than our very own, and yet we fail to see it. There are several reasons why one could fail to see all this diversity, whether it be a lack of understanding or just a lack of willingness to understand. For a country that is called “the melting pot” (Schaefer, 2012, p.24), we certainly still have a prevalent degree of prejudice and discrimination. Some would call it a lack of insight and willingness to grow, I prefer to call it ignorance and fear. Fear of differences and change. Diversity is the inclusion of different types of people from different races and culture in a group of organization. Diversity is valued...

...Week Seven: Sex and Gender Worksheet ETH/125 Week Seven: Sex and Gender Worksheet Answer the following questions in 50 to 150 words each. Provide citations for all the sources you use. What is gender? What is sex in biological terms? Are gender and sex the same thing? Explain why or why not? According to World Health Organization (2014), “‘Gender’ refers to the socially constructed roles, behaviours, activities, and attributes that a given society considers appropriate for men and women” (para.3). Gender is in fact a social construct, designed to allow us to categorize and identify people by a group of emotional traits, behaviors, and stereotypes. These groups are often assumed to correspond with physical characteristics such as long or short hair, pectoral muscles or breasts, or penis or vagina. Biologically, sex is the possession of male and female reproductive organs, or more specifically, XX chromosomes for women and XY chromosomes for men. According to World Health Organization (2014), “Some examples of sex characteristics: women menstruate while men do not, men have testicles while women do not, women have developed breasts that are usually capable of lactating, while men have not, and men generally have more massive bones than women” (para.2). Clearly, once defined gender and sex are as different as men and women, black and white, and all the gray areas in between. A biologically physical male can exhibit feminine traits and identify with the feminine gender...

Over the years women have fought to work and provide for their families just like men. The Women Rights Movement came into place, and brought about many of the changes for women in today’s society. Women were allowed to work and had equal opportunities has men, but there was still a struggle for women to have the right to vote. In 1872, Susan B.

In 1879 an amendment to the Constitution was introduces, but not until 1919 it was passed and a year later it was ratified as the Nineteenth Amendment to the Constitution for women to vote.
