Individual Perspectives Related to Diversity

In the Week 2 readings, we learn that the self is a distinct identity that sets us apart from others. There are a variety of diversity dimensions that make us unique, including race, gender, religion, age, and class. In addition, many of our identities intersect, and depending on the environment or social context, can be variously prominent.

Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words:

  • Ch. 4 of Sociology in Modules challenges us to think of our personal identity and factors that influence how we are socialized, as well as how we socially engage. How would you describe yourself in terms of 3 prominent identity characteristics?
  • Share an example of a time when one of your diversity dimensions was more prominent than others. What made that specific diversity dimension stand out?
  • Share a time when one of your diversity dimensions conflicted with another. What insights did you gain from reflecting about your diversity dimension conflict?
  • How do your multiple diversity dimensions show up in the workplace? Are some of your diversity dimensions more prominent than others in the workplace setting?

If an emergency manager wants to push local officials to be more proactive when it comes to pursuing mitigation projects, the best course of action is to educate the public about the benefits. Once the public is on board you now have the opportunity to reach out and provide training to local officials.

  1. Why is public education so important for emergency managers when it’s in reference to preparedness for possible disaster such as a hurricane, tornado, or flooding. Minimum of 50 words.

 

Incident Action Plan (IAP) guide and FEMA NIMS IS-241 course

There are some similarities between what is taught as the “problem-solving model” in the IS-241 course and the phases of managing an incident described by the IAP guide. The problem-solving model details five steps starting with “Identifying the Problem” and ending with “Evaluate the Situation.” The IAP guide also uses five phases to resolve incidents. The first of these phases is “Understand the Situation” and the last is “Execute, Evaluate, and Revise the Plan.” Both documents understand the importance of defining the problem or the situation before you attempt to solve it, and rightfully so, you cannot intentionally solve a conundrum until you understand that it exists.

  1. Explain why “Understand the Situation” is critical when handling an emergency incident. How does it leave to Executing, Evaluating, and Revising the Plan? Minimum of 200 words

Diversity Proposal: Reinvigorate Inclusion Efforts in Response to Employee Complaint

Imagine you have been hired as the new Diversity & Inclusion Specialist in the Human Resources (HR) department of the organization you currently work for or another organization of your choosing. One of the first tasks you are given is to create a diversity proposal in response to an anonymous complaint (below) that was recently submitted to the HR suggestion box:

Complaint:

I have been working here for 4 years. I am tired of watching the same “Diversity in the Workplace” 20-minute video each January in order to satisfy the company’s annual diversity training requirement. Nothing around here shows that this company values diversity. As one of a few people of color at this company, I feel like I’m just here to increase diversity numbers so the company “looks good” on paper. When are we going to actually do something to recognize all types of diversity? There are more aspects to diversity, besides race, that make individuals unique.

Create a 500- to 800-word diversity proposal in which you address the following questions:

  • What is the business case or proposition for recognizing the importance of diversity and inclusion?
  • How can the organization create a mission and goals to outwardly express and reinforce its commitment to diversity and inclusion? What might the mission statement say to express that commitment?
  • What are at least 2 short-term actions (less than 6 months) that the organization can take to immediately address some of the concerns expressed in the anonymous complaint?
  • What are at least 2 long-term actions (6 months to 2 years) that the organization can take to address some of the concerns expressed in the anonymous complaint?
  • How can the company enhance its current annual employee diversity training? Why is this training important?
  • What initiatives can the company implement to celebrate diversity beyond race?
  • How can these initiatives bring employees together to celebrate diversity and promote inclusion?
  • What other suggestions do you have to improve workplace culture and messaging around diversity and inclusion?

Provide an introduction and conclusion for your proposal and use professional tone and language.

– William Golding
An allegory is a story with a symbolic meaning, an extended metaphor. And a microcosm is a community, place, or situation that mirrors or reflects characteristics or qualities of something larger.

CASE STUDY

What aspects of Chipotle’s business model do you think need immediate attention? Explain.

Just like managers have biases when making decisions about running an organization, customers also have biases when making decisions about making a purchase. Therefore, one may assert that managers should consider potential customer biases when they engage in strategic planning. The author of one of the articles argues that Chipotle’s biggest problem is recency bias and confirmation bias.

News Media Question

Asking questions is a first way to question and know reality. More than new answers, we need new questions in order to analyze social media, platform politics and digital culture.

What do we need to ask more about platform discourse and Silicon Valley ideology? What is missing from this discussion? For Reflecting 1, you should, building from class 2 and the required readings, write a statement of about 1000 characters with questions only.

Focus on questions that you feel are still relatively invisible in the media and academia.
