...population were members of racial minorities, and another 15 percent or so were Hispanic. These percentages represent one out of three people in the United States, without counting White Ethnic groups, between 2008 and 2100 African, Hispanic, Asian, and Native American portion of the population in the U.S. is expected to increase from 33 percent to 60 percent. Even though the content of the population is developing, problems discrimination, prejudice, and mistrust remain. Hamel (2014), The multicultural society and labor force have advantages to help with the discrimination and prejudice when in regards to employment. The U.S. Department of Labor says the employment laws make it illegal for employers to discriminate based on age, color, race, sex, religion, and ethic group when making hiring decisions. Most businesses hire workers from different cultural groups to create a diverse workplace environment. A diverse labor force can yield several benefits for businesses (The Advantages of a Multicultural Labor Force). Ethnic groups have a common cultural bond. An ethic group does not exist simply because of cultural origins of the group or common national. These groups develop because of historical and social experience which is considered the basis for the ethnic group identity. For example in the matrix it explains how African American went through the struggle of the civil rights movement to the injustices of the Jim Crow era was a process this group had to face in the U....

The German Americans settled in the United States in the late 1700’s, they came because of their religious dissenters such as the Amish who were attracted by the proclaiming of religious freedom. Even though the German Americans started coming in the late 1700’s it wasn’t until the 1830’s through 1890 the German immigrant population represented one quarter of the immigration. During World War I most of the German Americans distanced themselves away from their home land, by the ending of the twentieth century the animosity that was towards Germany fell distant. That is because of John F. Kennedy being in Berlin in 1963 and Ronald Reagan in 1987 and they both spoke of uniting Germany. Present days the immigration from Germany is between 5,00 and 10,00 annually. Some customs that the Germany Americans may practice still while...

...What were the key elements in Blahna's successful diversity strategy? 3. Under what circumstances might the consulting pairs approach be most useful? 4. What steps should management take to ensure that the consulting pairs approach is working? Businesses have come a long way since the days of 1950s when white males made up more than 60% of the American workforce. The man was the sole breadwinner in the household while females were expected to take care of children and the home. At age 65, the male retired and they spend their retirement years doing all those little things they never had the time or money to do. Diversity used to be a black/white, male/female, old/young issue. Now it is much more complex than just racial or ethnic diversity. It consists of a combination of genders, race, religion, age and other background factors with different values, styles, personalities, customs and beliefs that can affect the way they conduct business. We also consider socio-economic, geographic, international, intellectual, artistic, athletic, political, religious, and sexual orientation. Cultural diversity should be managed to recognize, respect and capitalize on the different backgrounds in our society in terms of race, ethnicity, and gender. Today’s workplace requires a more realistic and respectable approach to multi-culturalism or cultural diversity. Multi-culturalism is based on the belief that cultural identities should not be discarded, barred or ignored...

A minority is defined not by being outnumbered but by five characteristics: unequal treatment, distinguishing physical or cultural traits, involuntary membership, awareness of subordination, and ingroup marriage. Subordinate groups are classified in terms of race, ethnicity, religion, and gender. The social importance of race is derived from a process of racial formation; any biological significance is relatively unimportant to society...

...TERM DEFINITION Workforce Diversity-“Diversity means being diverse or varied, and at work means having a workforce comprised of two or more groups of employees with various racial, ethnic, gender, cultural, national origin, handicap, age, and religious backgrounds. The variety or multiplicity of demographics features that characterize a company’s workforce, particularly in terms of race, sex, culture, national origin, handicap, age, and religion (Dessler2012), pg. 55.” Workforce Diversity is important to HRM because it allows employers to understand different cultures, personalities, ethnic backgrounds. By accepting these differences it will allow each employee to understand each employee differences and welcome it as an asset. I would use Workforce Diversity as a positive tool to customers and third party vendors. Workforce Diversity means we have a variety of backgrounds and knowledge which many different ideas are used to create and offer a great product to the consumer. Outsourcing-“The use of nontraditional recruitment sources. Outsourcing means having outside vendors supply services that the company’s own employees previously did in-house (Dessler2012), pg. 157.” How you present outsourcing maybe be taken in a negative context to the public, especially in a down economy. Outsourcing is important to HRM because it can affect staffing, layoffs, budgets and the hiring process. I would use outsourcing as a focus main selling point...

...why the alleged suspects could have turned to such violence and no one else has offered any evidence based explanation for it. If this is the case, then why is Obama now labeling them as being terrorists when he himself warned against the judging too quick? The only explanation for this situation can lead one to think of is the suspects’ identification as being ethnic Chechens and Muslims. There is no evidence that they acted in relation to the events that happened in their ancestral background. Obama appears to be going on a prejudiced assumption that is very common on television. These are unfair assumptions and they close the possibility of full understanding the cause. By bringing up these popular stereotypes, they give a new push to the...
