Final Project Michael Kennedy ETH125 8/10/14 University of Phoenix The history of diversity in the United States has given me a better understanding and clearer vision of how significant the changes have been. The United States has grown to be a melting pot of sorts, and because of this I grew up with diversity all around me. From the public schools I attended, to the first part time jobs I have had, diversity has been everywhere my entire life. My understanding of the United States and

perspectives on life. We accept that we are different and that we can learn cooperatively in the social, economic, and intellectual world. Diversity is valued because it helps to encourage growth, personal and professional (Schaefer, 2012). The important thing to learn is that as a society we can remember that it’s not about Black, White, Asian, Hispanic or Latino ethnicities but constantly focused on being one with my brothers or my sisters. We could use these words in our everyday lives to face

Ethnic Changes and Relations University of Phoenix ETH/125 April 1, 2012 Cay Freidline The United States is becoming increasingly diversified in the racial and ethnic aspects of its population. States are becoming more and more crowded with people from all over the world. People are becoming citizens of the United States, which a great privilege. But soon the U.S. will be run by people who aren’t from the Unites States and don’t have the same values that we do. The melting pot theory, which

in ethics has given me more knowledge and understanding of how to relate to people of different ethnicities and cultural backgrounds. I understand that I have to resist the temptation to accept stereotypes that people believe and are portrayed in media about different groups of people. Whether it is a specific race, ethnic group, religious group, gay, bisexual, lesbian and transgendered people everyone deserves to be treated as an individual and given proper and appropriate respect. As always I hold

Ethnic Conflict and Genocide Theory: In the case of Bosnia, choose the most important theoretical aspect (primordial, constructivist, instrumental, modernization) that you find most helpful in your understanding of the conflict. What does this approach illuminate to you that you find so important and how might it direct you towards one or other levels of analysis? In looking at the Bosnian conflict the most important aspect of the conflict was social constructivism. The definition of Social constructivism

Assess the view that secularisation has been a feature only in modern European societies-33 marks The idea of secularisation implies that there has been disenchantment in social life, that sacred ideas are no longer of any relevance to people and practical matters are emptied of any spiritual significance. Secularisation according to Wilson is the process whereby ‘religious thinking, practice and institutions social significance,’ that people are more interested in leisurely pursuits and that society

Diversity in the United Stated Miranda Kennedy ETH/125 May 27,2012 Margaret Wilson I think it is commonplace to think that diversity means race and in my opinion diversity is so much more than race. Diversity can be defined by many definitions but I think that diversity has only one true meaning. The true meaning of diversity refers to cultural differences that make up the qualities in people that make us vastly unique. Diversity is a assessment that is revealed in mutual respect and appreciation

Previously to this course, I had no clear definition of prejudice and discrimination according to Schaefer prejudice and discrimination are related concepts but are not the same. Prejudice is a negative attitude toward an entire category of people. The important components in this definition are attitude and entire category. Prejudice involves attitudes, thoughts, and beliefs—not actions. And discrimination consists of negative behavior toward a group (Schaefer, 2014). I was not as conscious of how discrimination

make sense. In a postmodern world where structural theories are obsolete and it’s inevitable that multiple claims for truth compete with each other. Therefore postmodernists claim knowledge is pluralistic. Postmodernists celebrate relativism and pluralism, emphasising people work through who they are in different ways, rather than finding out who they are on the basis of science and moral absolutes. Recently there have been changes which have caused a debate about the future of modernity: *
