Three important ideas/things from the reading today are
- even mentioning diversity can lead to anxiety and conflict, it's a touchy subject,
- diversity enhances creativity,
- and diversity can lead to enhanced financial performance,
but the most important thing I learned today is typically, in the presence of diversity people are more diligent and open-minded.
kimmy, my posting is similar as yours. I agree that diversity does lead to conflict and that it is a touchy subject.
ReplyDeleteWow, I didn't know people became more diligent in the presence of diversity. What ways do you plan to allow students from different backgrounds to work together?
ReplyDeleteI agree within a diverse environment people are more openminded because the different people surrounding them influence your change in thought, and you develop new ideas and altar what you were dead-set on. Has diversity ever made you feel uncomfortable?
