King Henry Viii Martin Luther
1,470 words
Cold-blooded, deliberate cruelty mark not only his
advancing years but his whole reign, wrote Sir
Charles Oman. This quote exemplifies the thoughts
and opinions held by many towards King Henry VIII
and the way in which he reigned from 1509 to 1547.
However many thought otherwise. His Lord
Chancellor proclaimed that, Henry was a most
gentle gentleman, his nature so benign and
pleasant that I think till this day no man hath
heard many angry words pass his mouth. Henry
indeed has shown to be somewh...

Lack Of Education Sexual Harassment

When I was first asked to choose an elective for
Fall 2000, Managing Work Force Diversity caught my
eye because I am a Work Study Intern/ Manager for
Gap Inc. and I thought that this class might have
some relevance to what I actually do at work. A
lot of the topics that we covered in class, such
as sexual harassment, stereotyping, multi-cultural
workplace, and gender related issues relate a lot
to my work environment. The topic that I think
made me think differently was stereotypes and
prejudgme...

Positive and Negative Aspects of Multiculturalism
In Canada Canada is a homeland for a variety of
cultures, because of the variety of mixed races
and has since been called "The Mosaic" for that
reason. Canada has great appeal to many immigrants
that want to leave in search of a better life.
This in turn has made Canada one of the biggest
sites for multiculturalism in the world.
Multiculturalism effects Canada in both positive
and negative ways. Before exploring these aspects,
it is important to ...

Conflict Resolution In Work Teams
1,180 words
When you think of conflict in a work group, do you
have the image of a bickering group or of people
getting nowhere fast? Are you the type of person
that would do almost anything to avoid being
disagreeable with others? Maybe you view conflict
as a constructive part of problem solving. If you
agree with the last statement, then you might be
encouraged to know that most experts agree that
conflict in a work team can bring great benefits
if the conflict is managed correctly. Leaders who

Respect And Understanding People

Racism is a certain kind of prejudice, based on
faulty reasoning and inflexible generalizations
toward a specific group. The word prejudice comes
from the Latin noun praejudicium, which means a
judgment based on previous decisions formed before
the facts were known. Fortunately, in Canada
racism is reduced by, celebrating the diversity of
cultures. In Canada there are Indian, European,
African American, Mexican, and everything else you
can imagine. All those individuals have their own
culture, r...

Affirmative Action In College Admissions
774 words
Affirmative action is the practice, usually by
institutions, of giving preference to racial
minorities or women when hiring employees, giving
awards, or deciding whom to admit. Affirmative
action arose out of a desire to bring minority
groups into institutions and professions that had
traditionally been dominated by white males. It
first appeared after the Civil Rights movement of
the 1960 s. One of the largest groups that uses
affirmative action today are universities during
the admissions proc...

Racial And Ethnic Make A Difference
2,434 words
Multiculturalism Introduction Why does the nation
need multiculturalism? The term multiculturalism
provokes ambiguity and misunderstanding. It wasnt
unambiguous during the time it first came into
existence, and, when became the subject of heated
debates, it gained, probably, the most
conflicting, sometimes mutually exclusive
meanings, from communitarian criticism of
liberalism to ethnocentric and racial-centrically
motivated isolationism, from the leftist ideology
of subversion in relation to ex...

Pluralism In The United States
1,126 words
Pluralism in the United States Our modern concept
of pluralism derives from ancient Greek
understanding of democracy as the most effective
political system. Ancient Greeks did not simply
believe in the effectiveness of democracy - they
actively practiced it. Citizens were able to
affect the political dynamics in cities-states,
not because they simply lived there, but because
their opinions really did have a value, whatever
contradictory they might have been. The reason for
this was simple the vo...

Diversity Every Day Teach Our Children Pooh

In comparing childrens programs for their use of
cultural diversity I watched several segments of
Rugrats, Winnie the Pooh, and Out of the Box. The
animated programs, Rugrats and Winnie the Pooh,
dealt with diversity in much the same way. Out of
the Box, however, was put together on a different
level. The Rugrats is a delightful cartoon about a
group of adventurous babies that are always
getting into one thing or the other. The babys
personalities are all quite different and ones

today to have an open mind and to subscribe to
pluralist theories. It is no longer acceptable to
have and defend your own viewpoint. They tell us
that every culture and every opinion and every
idea has merit in and of itself and that no one
has the right to argue that. They tell us that if
we impose our own ideas and culture and viewpoints
upon others, their cultural contribution to the
world will be lost. The only way to keep our

globalization. But what does globalization mean?
Does it mean disappearing borders, a common trade
unit, no tax in trade abroad, political awareness
across the world, or, in extremes, even
interfering with other countries domestic affairs?
In some ways globalization may be useful in
