...Racial Diversity: Historical Worksheet Throughout most of the history of the United States, the majority race in most locations has been White, also referred to as Caucasian or White American. Of the White American race, there are two separate ethnic origins defined by the United States Census Bureau that a person may belong to – Hispanic or Non-Hispanic. A White Hispanic person is defined as a “citizen or resident who is racially white and of Hispanic descent”. The ancestral backgrounds that most members of the White Non-Hispanic racial group share are Europe, the Middle East, and North African, while those of Hispanic descent have ancestors from Spain or Latin America and Europe, the Middle East, or North Africa (United States Census Bureau, 2012). Two of the larger racial minority groups in U.S. history are Black or African Americans, comprising about 12.5% of the population, and Asian Americans who make up about 4.5% of the population. Black Americans are primarily descended from Africans who were involuntarily brought to American and the United States between the early 1600’s and the mid-1800’s, so specific African nations of origin are usually untraceable. Since the 1970’s, there has been a growing population within the Black American racial group who originate in Jamaica, Haiti, and Barbados. Black Americans have been a significant minority group since the early 1900’s. Asian Americans typically share ancestral backgrounds in China, the Philippines, Vietnam,...

...Plagiarism and its negative effects are unjust, lack moral and can have serious consequences on both the student and the authors. Plagiarism has become what some are calling a trend due to the influence the internet has had on students, high school and college as well as some educators. Although plagiarism has been playing a negative roll in academics for a considerable amount of time, access to internet cutting and pasting has made it a more talks about subject. While reading the online article on plagiarism, Lines blurred for students in a digital age (Gabriel, 2010) I learned of a student that was reprimanded for copying from Wikipedia. The argument the student gave in defense of his ignorance to what he had done, was that the information he obtained had collective writers and was common/public knowledge. What makes this unjustifiable is the ideas were not his own. Although it may have appeared the student did not have knowledge of plagiarism, he was still reprimanded for plagiarizing. What he did was unjustifiable and unfair to the collective writers and he should have been held responsible. Many institutions enforce a policies apposing plagiarism. These policies protect the authors and encourage students to be more creative, (Gabriel, 2010) relaxing plagiarism standards “does not foster creativity it fosters laziness”. Plagiarism in academia by Syed Shahabuddin has a very strict approach to plagiarism. Shahabuddin speaks strongly about plagiarism and seems to have...

...Diversity Worksheet Nora Shamblin ETH/125 July 16, 2015 Tabitha R. Barrett Diversity Worksheet 1. What is diversity? Why is diversity valued? Diversity is differences. These differences can be age, race, ethnicity, gender, socio-economic status, sexual orientation, physical abilities, religious beliefs, political beliefs, or other ideologies. Diversity is valued because it is through our differences that we are great. I think it is important to explore our differences in a safe, positive, and nurturing environment. I also think diversity should be valued because they enrich a society because they allow people to experience different thinking processes, to see that there is more than one way of approaching issues or living one's life. 2. What is ethnocentrism? In what ways can ethnocentrism be detrimental to a society?
