Final Project Holly Regan Eth/125 August 25, 2013 Sarah Lange Final Project The way diversity has impacted the United States is by the creation of our melting pot. Having so many diverse cultures is what makes up the United States of America and it is still growing. Diversity is a variety of people including races and cultures.

Final Project ETH/125 October 16, 2013 Final Project • What information about diversity in the United States has helped you better understand or relate to others in ways that you may not have in the past? During this class I found it interesting that I was noticing interracial couples more often. While I do not have a prejudice against this, this class opened my eyes to what is really out in the world. While I am very happy to see this I also know that as long as society chooses to

William Rigney ETH 125 8/29/2013 Final Project Information about diversity in the United States that has helped me to better understand and relate to others in the past and today would be the events of 9/11. While I was serving in the Navy, we were assigned to escort and protect oil tankers in the Persian Gulf, ensuring safe passage from attacks by Iraqi forces. At the time, I did not look at Saddam Hussein as a radical Muslim, just as a dictator who was dead set on ruling his people and making

Racial Issues in Saint Louis, Missouri Michelle Strohm ETH/125 July 4, 2010 Cindy Kacmar When I started thinking about how the influences of race relating to my community I first thought about the local schools. My daughter attends a local public school, which has some diversity in race. What first came to mind though was the huge desegregation program they have had in existence for many years. Almost any morning or afternoon you will see a sea of yellow on the freeways. Some 14,000 African-American

` Diversity is an important part of American society and our history. We must learn to get along and function together as a people in order to succeed as a society. Understanding the struggles and the obstacles different races have faced throughout our history has helped me to see how much we have evolved. Even fifty years ago, American society was much less integrated than it is now. Although racism still exists in contemporary America, it is to a much lesser degree than it was back then. We have

Diversity has spread to every corner of the United States. Diversity is what enables us to grow and evolve as a society. The most interesting fact I uncovered was that communities where whites are the majority are still the norm (82.6%), but those where they dominate are gradually disappearing. According to an analysis of census data by Penn State’s Population Research Institute, the number of places where no group is a majority has more than quintupled. In my opinion our society has come a long

During the course of this class, I have learned a great deal more than I expected to. When we were studying diversity, I found the graphs, charts, and other statistical data extremely informational. I learned a lot about ethnic groups that I had never really thought about before. Also, I never thought I would find as much interesting information as I did about many ethnic groups and even religions. The statistics and other information that I have read about have helped me to have a better understanding

My family is Jamaican, Spanish (Castilian) and English. A first generation American, I often do not connect with the African American experience but identify as a black individual because of my African heritage and resulting dark skin. It was not until taking this course that I knew the full history of what blacks went through in this country. It was moving and alarming but explains why so many blacks such as myself are inexplicably angry towards their own neighborhoods. I have always been around
