Diversity Experience

Diversity encompasses a wide variety of experiences and differences, and our perspectives on diversity are often framed and informed by our culture, life experience, profession, and workplace.

Instructions:

In a well-written paper, compare and contrast four definitions of diversity. One will be from the U.S.-based Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM); the second will be from an international scholarly or business publication; the third will be from an international non-profit organization; and the fourth must be from a corporation or business located where you live (Miami or USA).

Address the following in your paper:

1. Describe the definitions of diversity that you are comparing and contrasting and the sources of each.

2. Describe the SHRM and publication’s definitions. (Remember to describe the international scholarly or business publication you are using for a definition. What or whom comprises its key audience?)

3. Compare and contrast your definition of diversity with that of your chosen publication and that from SHRM. Be specific and evaluate each definition on its global inclusivity.

4. How do these definitions line up with your own diversity awareness or definition? Describe how your life experience—including your country of origin, culture, gender, race, and other factors—informs your diversity awareness. Provide specific examples of diversity-related situations you have encountered. Evaluate which categories of diversity you are most familiar with, and those with which you have the least experience.

Attached is Jeff’s grading rubric of your final paper for the course. It appears that the major issue was analysis of primary/secondary sources. While I cannot increase the paper’s grade based on its current state, I can offer you an opportunity to enhance the paper and possibly receive more points on it.

To address this element where you received points off, please take these two speeches made by Vladimir Putin (links below) and analyze them looking for
1) what you think his view of Russia and its future is
2) what his view of other powers/the rest of the world is and
3) parts of the speech which you think show Putin acting similarly to Ivan IV and parts where he is perhaps acting differently.
I imagine that this would take up roughly 2 pages double-spaced. If you want to do this, please let me know and we can set a due date for this.
