But integration is only the beginning of the struggle to end racial discrimination. As workplaces become more diverse, they do nor necessarily becomie less racially discriminatory.

...The Interplay of Diversity Training and Diversity Beliefs on Team Creativity in Nationality Diverse Teams by Astrid C. Homan, Claudia Buengeler, Robert A. Eckhoff, Wendy P. van Ginkel and Sven C. Voelpel. The journal puts forth the following research question; Does diversity training increase team creativity reflecting in better team cohesion and effectiveness but only for teams with less positive beliefs of diversity. The method in which the research is conducted is through a qualitative study whereas diversity beliefs questionnaires (online) were completed by 192 participants of 41 different nationalities. All of the participants were undergraduate students who were enrolled in an international university located in Germany. One of the gaps in the study was that the study failed to understand the long term effects of diversity training along with addressing the effects of it on individuals who have not been previously exposed to diverse conditions or diverse individuals. Additionally, the diversity training was only conducted for persons within an academic setting and may suggest that people outside of academia would respond much differently to diversity training. The findings of the research suggest and support the idea that a lack of diversity in organizations may be a liability and that providing diversity training to teams and organizations with a little or no diversity can achieve positive results but at the same time, may result in a reduction of creative performance...

...yet overlooked, transformation took place in the American coloniesbetween 1680 and 1760. This transformation manifested itself in almost everyaspect of colonial life, and changed the socioeconomic makeup of America forever.This gradual revolution included an ethnic and racial diversity, an increasinglymodernized economy, a growing display of power that would form the foundation of the political system and reveal its elf in the colonists’ material lives, and a display of religious pluralism that is not seen even today in some societies. Butler not onlygives an excellent summary of matters such as immigration and indigenous religion,but also gives credible and convincing reasoning that it was the middle years of thecolonial period that would define America — not the victories and defeats of therevolutionary war. In the years between 1680 and 1760, America had becomemodern (aside from technological advancements that would appear throughout the19 th century.)In Peoples...

Even with the increase in awareness, policymakers and clinicians have...
