Topic: of-mice-and-men

On the ranch there is a well known woman merely referred to as ‘Curley’s Wife’. As the characters develop we find that she is not in fact the unimportant, nameless character we first perceive her as, but rather she is a relatively complex one, with much more to her than we first gather, causing us to feel sympathy for her later in the novel. In this essay I will state how John Steinbeck influenced the reader to feel sympathy for Curley’s wife, especially after making the reader prejudice towards her.
Topic: of-mice-and-men

Steinbeck creates sympathy for Curley’s wife in numerous ways, one being her name. The fact that she never has a name outside of the reference to her husband clearly shows the reader that her identity is surrendered to a heartless husband. Evidence of this is when she admits that her husband ‘aint a nice man’ and that she never truly wanted to marry him. This leaves the reader with a impression of a unhappy, isolated woman to the extent that there is sympathy regardless of her outrageous behavior towards Crooks.
Topic: of-mice-and-men

Alternatively, the lack of a name for this woman could could suggest she is insignificant and not as important of a character as George, Lennie or any of the other men on the ranch. It could also be referring to how during the Great Depression, women were oppressed and treated less equally. Steinbeck may have portrayed Curley’s wife in this light to allow the reader to recognize the inferior role of women at that time.
Topic: of-mice-and-men

Steinbeck enables the reader to see Curley’s Wife through migrant worker Candy’s eyes on their first encounter her, as in his dialogue he refers to her as a ‘tart’. Through his words, we develop an initial perception of Curley’s Wife as as a bit of a ‘floozie’. Furthermore, Candy effectively accuses her of acting disloyal to her newly married husband Curley by saying, ‘she got the eye’ for other men. The word ‘tart’ suggests she presents herself in an ostentatious manner. Before even being introduced to the woman, the reader is convinced she’s to blame for anything that goes wrong in Solidad. Her physical appearance of ‘…full, rouged lips…’, as well as ‘fingernail painted red’ and elaborate hair, emphasize our preconceptions of her.
Topic: of-mice-and-men

I believe her attire is very significant to how we perceive her. She is said to be ‘heavily made up’ in primary colours (making her almost impossible to ignore or dismiss). This could be interpreted as her silent cry out for attention due to her being so isolated and lonely, after all there are no other woman on the ranch. Her appearance is portrayed as one of an actress or someone who has means of great luxury, this is why she is so incongruous on the ranch as she is not your typical housewife.. Her mien could also be construed as though she believes she is above any other woman who lives on a ranch, indicating she wants escape from her current lifestyle as her attire is suited for anything but her own. The description of her face being, ‘heavily made up’ could also propose the idea that she is insecure with her natural complexion. In other words, her face is a mask – it’s fake and not the real her. This makes a big connection of her ambitions of being an actress, a person that is constantly pretending to be someone they’re not. All of this contributes to the reader sympathising with her as she is so hopelessly insecure.
Topic: of-mice-and-men

On the other hand, Curley’s Wife’s appearance could be seen as naivety, and simply desire to be appreciated/noticed. Steinbeck may have portrayed Curley’s Wife with’ wide eyes’ to illustrate her as gullible or even that she is searching for something – which I believe was to be appreciated. If the text is analysed thoroughly, Steinbeck leaves subtle traces of evidence to help the reader understand her behaviour and fashionistic choices. ‘He says he was gonna put me in the movies’ is evidence of the ‘dream life’ Curley’s wife believed she was destined to have as she details twice ‘ I coulda been in movies… I coulda sat in big hotels’ had her chance not have been stolen. This theme of lost opportunity or shattered dreams is often repeated throughout the story. The delusional mindset that leads to her cruel nature is the theme that makes the reader sympathetic to her.
Topic: of-mice-and-men

Red is a primary colour therefore people are attracted to it hence why Curley’s Wife wearing a lot of red may symbolise she desperately wants the spotlight (attention) – much like many film stars. The description of ‘full rouged lips’ could be evidence of her attempt to be appreciated by the ranch workers; by drawing their attention to her lips it forces them to listen to what she has to say. Furthermore, another connotation of the colour is danger. A reason for Steinbeck portraying her as an associate of this colour may have been the foreshadowing of the blood that was to be shed.
Topic: of-mice-and-men

Finally, it is also a reminder of the girl in Weed who had a ‘red velvet’ dress that Lennie grabbed which caused him and George to go on the run, which we also know happens at the end of this novel. I believe Steinbeck structures Curley’s Wife’s character very intelligently as this subtle foreshadow indirectly makes a connection of the beginning and ending of the novel, also relating to her ambitions of being a movie star by the emphasis of a red ‘velvet’ dress. This indistinct description is often unnoticed causing the ‘reality vs: fantasy’ connection to be dismissed between Curley’s wife wearing a ‘cotton’ dress which immediately makes her no more than a housewife, however much she tries.
Topic: of-mice-and-men

Also on Curley’s Wife’s first appearance, the reader is made apparent of her alleged promiscuity as, ‘she put her hands behind her back and leaned against the door frame so that her body was thrown forward’, This suggestive and provocative body language justifies Candy’s statement of her and is hard evidence to the reader that she in fact a tart. However, we know this is not true. Curley’s wife shows similar traits to Crooks by standing in the door frame as he is isolated from it too. This causes the reader to feel sympathetic for her as she is secluded for being conceived as something she actually isn’t. Through no fault of her own, the men do not want to associate with her due them believing she is ‘jailbate’ ‘and a ‘rattrap’.
Topic: of-mice-and-men

This infers that the men are scared of her, something that frustrates her because she can’t comprehend why the men’s attitudes to her are so negative. The ‘rattrap’ could also be a forewarning of her escape to freedom which was only achievable by death. This is because once the rat trap’ (ie her) had been set off, it could no longer be used again, so effectively she committed suicide. I think that Curley’s wife and a rat are arguably similar as they are both hated by their relative society for being who / what they are, which is completely unfair. Also, rats are relatively small animals, this could link to Curley’s wife as she feels and is perceived as dramatically insignificant on the Boss’ ranch.
Topic: of-mice-and-men

Curleys’ wife both talks and acts playfully and flirtatiously in front of the other workers. In my opinion she behaves in this manner because her sex is her only weapon to gain attention. Steinbeck could have been trying to make a point of her actions being relative to the era she lived in. I believe he deliberately portrayed her in this light with the intentions of making the reader feel sympathetic towards her in later chapters, but also to make the reader feel apologetic and penitent for labeling and being prejudice towards her.
Topic: of-mice-and-men

On one of her ‘looking for Curley’ routines she says, ‘They left all the weak ones here’ alluding to the three men, all ‘weak’ in their respective ways. However there is irony in this comment because she is seen as unworthy of a name thus why the reader can conclude that she’s unimportant. It is also ironic because she was left behind by all the men too, ‘Even Curley’. This causes the reader to feel sympathy for her as she is aware that she is just as marginalized as the ‘weak’ men. Evidence of this is when she rhetorically questions them.
Topic: of-mice-and-men

Here, the author is not only trying to show that Curley is a major obstacle in her having a proper conversation but Steinbeck is also emphasizing the fragmented relationship the couple have.The lonely and hostile side of the woman is revealed when she admits to feeling a shameless dissatisfaction with her life which inevitably causes the reader to feel remorse for her. Curley’s wife is again shown to be dislikeable by expressing bitterness when reffering to the men as ‘bindle stiffs- a nigger an’ a dum dum” The author presents her intense anger by stating “breathless with indignation” which explains her frustration.
Topic: of-mice-and-men

Finally, Steineck creates sympathy for Curley’s wife in the way that he portrayed her death as her true vulnerability is unmasked. ‘Ever’one knowed you’d mess things up.’ were the words from Candy when left in the barn with her body. The fact that none of the ranch workers, or even her husband, seemed to be particularly saddened of her death causes the reader to feel sympathy for her because it cements just how unappreciated she was. We finally see her for the young victim she is as ‘the meanness and the plannings and the discontent and the ache were all gone from her face’. This repetition of discontent symbolizes that death was her escape because she is now away from being negatively labelled and misinterpreted.
Topic: of-mice-and-men

Steinbeck uses imagery to present her at peace after her death as she is described as, ‘…very pretty…sweet and young…’ This causes the reader to feel sympathetic as the character we first perceived her as is gone. Also, the description of ‘young’ furthered my sympathy towards her as it suggests to me she had a short and unfulfilled life. My sympathy for her is also heightened in this chapter because her vulnerability is now clearly identifiable, for example she failed to understand the danger of Lennie – despite the evidence of his violent power in her husband’s mutilated hand and the dead pup he is grasping. The basic idea in Steinbeck’s description of Curley’s wife’s corpse is that in death her beauty can finally be appreciated. Furthermore, who can’t feel sympathy for somebody that is dead from no fault of their own?
Topic: of-mice-and-men

Personally, I feel most sympathetic towards Curley’s wife more than any other character in the book because she was in a constant battle to be accepted. What makes me most sympathetic though is that in finally letting her guard down to confide in Lennie, she was murdered. Even in her death she is nothing more than a scapegoat as she is referred to as ‘no good’ by Candy. She was never considered as a person, only as Curley’s showcase trophy. Curley’s wife, as Steinbeck depicts her, does not share Lennie’s innocence. Steinbeck rests a measure of blame for the killing on the victim herself which causes the reader to yet again pity her unfortunate life.
Topic: of-mice-and-men

Moreover, I feel sympathetic towards her because her dreams were futile and it was only at death that she could be rid of all the male dominance that corrupted and controlled her life. After all, it was a man who gave her the ‘false hopes entity’ that followed her to her life on the ranch, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t leave the past behind. She ‘had the eye’ restlessly searching for true love and affection. Steinbeck gave Curley’s wife a circular structure that represents no matter how hard she tried to progress to her ambitions, her cycle always involved her finishing at her starting point, therefore no progress could ever made because her life was the ‘beginning of the end’.

The novel “Of Mice and Men” was written by John Steinbeck in 1937. He wrote the novel to illustrate the pain and misery of the migrant workers during the Great Depression in America. The novel also illustrated the difficulty for ordinary people to reach the American Dream. Steinbeck represents the relationship between George and Lennie, who are the main characters, in different ways. The word “relationship” is described in the dictionary “as the way inwhich two or more groups or people behave towards each other.
Topic: of-mice-and-men

” The friendship between George and Lennie is represented both through the spoken relationship and body language. This is shown in the constant different behaviours Lennie has towards George. Throughout the novel, this becomes more and more visible by portraying Lennie of being simple minded and “like a kid.” Lennie is incapable of surviving on his own and needs George to look after him. One realises that Lennie and George become dependent on each other. This is because the one needs the other to survive.
Topic: of-mice-and-men

George is instantly interpreted as of being the leader, or parent role towards Lennie. This can be quickly interpreted when George says : “ Lennie! “ “Lennie for God’ sakes don’t drink so much.” (page 20) We also find George taking the leadership role when he tells Lennie to hand over the dead mouse to him. “Come on, give it here.” (page 22) George is very authorative over Lennie and is a very independent person. He is also very sociable and makes many friends in little time.
Topic: of-mice-and-men

Lennie has a very plain outlook and mentality. He is physically large, “huge man, shapeless of face, with large, pale eyes, with wide, sloping shoulders, walking heavily and dragging his feet.” (page 19) His strength is his main asset to find work. Lennie does not understand things from an adult perspective. Especially understanding what can and cannot be done in an adult context. This tells us that Lennie has a childlike behavior. We also find in the novel that Lennie likes touching and stroking soft things. This is because he enjoys textures and the sense of touch. We are exposed to this right in the beginning of the novel already, when he petted a mouse to death. This shows us that Lennie is very tactile. He cannot take care of himself and sadly brings misfortune to anyone he crosses path with. Therefore we can also say that Lennie is very unlucky. BUT Lennie is also very loyal, as he maintains absolute faith and trust in George throughout the novel.
Topic: of-mice-and-men

The friendship of George and Lennie is represented in the novel through body language. This is shown to us in the constant varying behaviors of Lennie towards George. This becomes increasingly visible throughout the novel when we find out that Lennie is simple minded and “child-like.” With the quote: “his face grew tight with thought,” (page 24) it is brought across to us, that Lennie is incapable of surviving on his own and that he constantly has to seek for George’s approval. We find in the opening chapter of the novel that Lennie idolizes George which we are exposed to when Steinbeck writes: “Lennie, who had been watching, imitated George exactly.” (page 21)
Topic: of-mice-and-men

From this we also learn that Lennie cannot control himself, and has no moral judgement. In their friendship, George makes all the valid decisions and takes care of Lennie. Things for Lennie are either good or bad depending on what George thinks of them. Lennie and George become foils for each other as they are both mutually dependent characters who need each other in order to survive. Although Lennie causes a lot of problems for George, he is better for him. Without Lennie, George would have way less employment opportunities and much more lonely.
Topic: of-mice-and-men

The relationship between the two characters depends on their benefits and mostly about their dream. It is George and Lennie’s dream to own their own piece of land with their own little house and their own crops on it and “tend the rabbits.” (page 33) Their dream connects them to each other very strongly. Despite the fact that they want to achieve their dream together, they are also satisfying their fear of loneliness. Just like George says to Lennie: “Guys like us, that work on ranches,” (page 31) “ …are the loneliest guys in the world. They got no family. They don’t belong no place.” (page 32) George brings openness to their social situation through this. George also says: “With us it ain’t like that.” (page 32)
Topic: of-mice-and-men

Lennie interrupts George and says: “ An’ why? Because I got you to look after me, and you got me to look after you, and that’s why.” (page 32) Their relationship is about them depending on each other to fulfill their dreams, to look after each other and to fulfill their fear of loneliness. George knows that Lennie’s friendship is better than being completely on his own. He fears to be thrown out when he becomes useless and therefore he holds on to his dream as much as he can. Everyone in the ranch has dreams. Candy’s dream is to become involved in George and Lennie’s dream, not for security but to fulfill his desire for company. George knew that if people work together, dreams come true much faster.
Topic: of-mice-and-men

Therefore when Candy offered his partnership they looked at each other amazed and George’s eyes were full of wonder. We find in the novel that George is growing hope about their dream. He understood that the best way to make their dream come true was through unity. George endured his relationship with Lennie because Lennie had unrivaled strength which enabled them to do much more work than the others. George had a fear of beign thrown out and being left alone, therefore he held on to Lennie’s friendship.
Topic: of-mice-and-men

The relationship between George and Lennie as it comes across in the way they speak is as George is depicted of being the leader or parent role towards Lennie. He tells Lennie not to drink of the water, not to pet the mouse, to keep quiet and let him do all the talking. We interpret him of being the parent to a child. George repeatedly shouts at Lennie what to do and how to do it. He uses strong language towards Lennie as it is the only way that George can “show” his worry and frustration to Lennie. He frequently loses his temper towards Lennie as he does not want him to get into anymore trouble. George easily “snaps” or “demands” things which tells us that he is very short tempered and impatient man.
Topic: of-mice-and-men

Lennie adores George which comes across clearly in the first chapter of the novel. Lennie even tries to act like George when he: “… drew up his knees, embraced them,” (page 21) “He pulled his hat down just a little more over his eyes, the way George’s was.” (page 21) This also shows us that Lennie really looked up to George and saw him as his “Idol.” All Lennie ever wished to do was make George happy. He even suggested that he “could go off in the hills there.” (page 30) He would do so just so that George could have his ketchup if there were some. Through this we find that George often loses his temper towards Lennie yet Lennie has learnt how to approach him when he is this upset. It is clear that Lennie could not alone survive in the harsh world. Through Lennie’s use of child-like speech and pleading, we understand that he is very simple and the “child” in the relationship. As George tells Lennie the story of their dream, a different demeanour overcomes him.
Topic: of-mice-and-men

He is still seen as the parent role as he tells a “bed time story” deepening his voice. We see a more compassionate side of George as he speaks much softer, as if he would love to believe in the dream he made up. Lennie is cheered up by the story and George praises him for remembering not to talk. In the second chapter a less demanding and more protective George appears. When the boss of the ranch comes down on Lennie with questions, George is there to help him. He makes up a lie to protect Lennie and praises him. As the boss leaves George becomes the leader again as he “preaches” Lennie again. When Curley’s wife appears for the first time, George makes it clear to Lennie that he doesn’t want him near he as she would bring him into trouble. He warns Lennie taking the role of protecting parent.
Topic: of-mice-and-men

The Speech and Dialogue used in the novel is used to represent how all the working class ranch people of the Depression era America would speak. Most of the vocabulary used is of everyday kind except those used for equipment and jobs. Steinbeck used slang, non-standard terms and vulgarities in the dialogue. The speech patterns help to recreate a specific time, place and social strata which make the book sound real. Everyone in the book uses similar language and style of speech. An example is that the boss of the ranch does not speak any different than the ranch workers. The language used in the novel is put to work as an equalizing force. As long as each man can speak for himself, his story is equally as important.
Topic: of-mice-and-men

In my view the relationship of George and Lennie is that even though George and Lennie have each other to trust and depend on it should still be classified as loneliness. They only have each other to depend on and trust no one else. This is also a type of loneliness as you don’t have anyone else if you lose that one person. George holds onto the friendship of Lennie because he is afraid of being alone. In my opinion he is still alone even though he has Lennie because he has too much fear. The fact that George is afraid of being alone makes him desperate for company, yet the company which he has he does not appreciate. George is only seen as a good friend because he helps Lennie out of trouble and helps him to get work.
Topic: of-mice-and-men

Lennie is the one who is a true friend because he does not demand things from George, he does not ask things from him all he needs is someone to look after him and that person is George. Lennie thanks George for this by always trying to keep Lennie happy. This is seen where Lennie offers to run for the hills when George complains about the ketchup and how much better his life would be without Lennie. In the end of the novel we find out that George kills Lennie before he can be cruelly killed by Curley. In my view this shows true friendship even though he committed a crime yet he kept Lennie from experiencing a horrible death. Legally murder is a crime yet morally he did what he had to as a friend towards Lennie.
Topic: of-mice-and-men

In my opinion is the only reason that George stayed with Lennie because he could not survive without him due to his fear of loneliness and his lack of employment opportunities without Lennie. Yet even though they haveeach other they are still lonely s the only have each other to depend on and no one else. Lennie and George decided to be alone together as it would mean that they would be safe. Due to the fact that Lennie was mentally disabled he got into a lot of trouble and George knew that someday he would also get in trouble for the mistakes of Lennie. This is because George knows what Lennie is capable of.

Friendship is ever-present and a necessity in leading a satisfying life. This is evident in the novella “Of Mice and Men” by John Steinbeck. The story takes off in the Depression Era, a time when distrust was abundant and dreams were constantly shattered. Our main characters, George and Lennie, set off seeking a new beginning to their lives but things take a turn for the worse; despite this, their friendship still flourishes and flowers in the midst of all the obstacles.
Topic: of-mice-and-men

Between the two main characters, George is more intelligent, but to survive, he cares for and loves Lennie in all the ways that he can. George has foresight and creates back-up plans for Lennie if the situations turn sour, telling Lennie,“ Hide in the brush till I come for you. Can you remember that? ” (17). Lennie, on the other hand, keeps George hopeful and upbeat, motivating him by saying, “Come on, George. Tell me. Please, George. Like you done before” (14).

There is some irony in there being so much optimism in two migrant, low class workers but the two make it work. By keeping this dream alive the two have something to work for, something to put their fifty dollars a month towards. This dream also serves as quite the problem solver for the two. Each time Lennie gets into trouble, George ends up worrying about the consequences. Lennie puts George at ease by reminding him of the dream and George always ends up forgiving Lennie.
Topic: of-mice-and-men

the story, Lennie confesses to “doing another bad thing” (44) but George just brushes it off, saying, “It don’t make no difference” (13). At the beginning, however, George admits to Slim that he had done something bad to Lennie and in this case Lennie forgives him. Throughout any relationship there are bound to be ups and downs and George and Lennie maintain a healthy friendship by forgiveness. Steinbeck gave George’s character quite a big heart because he may complain about his misfortunes whilst staying with Lennie but he never leaves Lennie’s side.

Diversity and Baptist Hospital Diversity is an important quality to possess when dealing with many different facets of understanding and interacting with our society. According to Harvey, & Allard, 2015 diversity is defined as “how people differ that may affect their organization experiences in terms of performance, motivation, communication, and inclusion. Several companies take pride in their diverse abilities and management of people through many diversity elements. So, why is diversity vital, in our country we are surrounded by it in our workplace, schools, and many other identities.

To learn from one another we must have a level of understanding about each other, to appropriately communicate and form relationships. When we change our understanding of culture, the terms “patient-centered care,” “teamwork,” and “safety” may get a true ring to their applications in healthcare (Ong-Flaherty, 2015). Baptist Health South Florida is the largest faith-based, not-for-profit healthcare organization in South Florida, which is recognized for creating a diverse and inclusive team.

Baptist Hospital’s webpage information on cultural diversity will entice any diverse employees who would like to apply for any position in this organization.

Conclusion To benefit from having a diverse workforce requires strong leadership and integrated diversity initiatives that relate to the organization’s strategic goals. Effective diversity management requires change but the process needs to be deliberative and related to an organization’s core values. (Harvey, & Allard, 2015). Baptist Hospital seems to exceed all these aspects of a great organization and continues to supersede with all the outstanding employee and patient satisfaction as well as the involvement with all the minority vendors and not to mention all the awards and recognitions that are bestowed yearly.

Culturally responsive teaching is guidance that recognizes and benefits from social decent variety, It endeavors to do this in different ways. Tolerating and esteeming social contrasts, pleasing distinctive examples of social connection, and expanding on understudies’ social foundations. There was an instructor I had from my elementary school that was a culturally responsive educator. She constantly ensured each culture felt ‘safe’. A couple of things I could remember her doing was she made her classroom a nonjudgment zone, becoming greatly acquainted with her student, dependably assessing her conduct, adjusting her instruction (to ensure all students comprehended the material), and incorporating all cultures into her educating. Conveying that we perceive and esteem

Both the instructor and students can profit from the quantity of encouraging methodologies exhibited by the social psychological theory. According to the text, many diverse learners are varying from gifted and talented, to students with exceptionalities, intelligence, multiple intelligence, and emotional intelligence. “To understand something, do you need to “see: it? Or hear it described? Or touch it? People often describe themselves as visual, verbal, or tactile learners. These descriptions reflect your unique learning style, or your preferred way of learning, studying, or thinking about the world” (Kauchak, Eggen, 2017). With an emphasis on results over reasons, maybe the future of these students will see the equivalent and successful showing assets of their companions, through a focus on the sympathy and comprehension of their one-of-a-kind yet similarly critical requirements.

The United States military service is a highly diverse profession. Each branch of the military is made up of people from every walk of life imaginable, creating a mixture of different nationalities, economic situations, and religious backgrounds. These groups come together in order to accomplish a singular mission. However, the military is not the only application of this. Diversity is important because it provides multiple viewpoints that assist with mission success and decision making, and foster a more comfortable and tolerant workplace environment.

Diversity, both within the military and the civilian sector, increases the chances of mission success. When a problem arises, people that are members of the same group tend to look at the situation in a similar fashion. They have trouble seeing other sides of the issue and the end solution is normally flawed. The outcome improves if the group is a mix of people from different upbringings, cultures, and perspectives. The varying inputs on the problem at hand likely will produce a better solution than what the non-diverse group came up with.

For example, soldiers on a mission in a primarily Islamic country may have to stop and search a female native at a checkpoint. Diversity amongst the troops makes it likely that at least one person has had experience with that situation, whether they have been a member of that faith or just know the customs and courtesies of that population. This experience allows the search to proceed with the proper precautions to not offend or cause hostility and non-compliance. In that case, the decision that a female soldier would search is likely, considering the different social laws regarding the sexes. Dealing with these situations tactfully requires the multitude of viewpoints that diversity provides. This is why “we need teams of people who think differently from one another and yet are joined together in common cause”1.

When people from different walks of life with varying opinions come together to work on a project, there is always going to be a butting of heads. During that initial shock period, the members of the group adjust to the influx of different thoughts and ideas before eventually settling into the situation. Although it takes time, diversity is beneficial in strengthening the societal bonds and mindsets of those involved. During the period following the diversification of the organization, the clashing of ideas can make things frustrating; with diversity comes the challenge of old ideas that worked in the past when there was no diversity. News ideas that present solutions to the problem differently and more efficiently will receive push-back. Accepting them will take some time, but this rough adjustment period is worth it. Without the introduction of these new ideas, “we will never understand the other perspectives… And therefore lock ourselves into a… The closed-minded ideology that has only led to hate, prejudice, and tragedy throughout history”2.

Diversity helps groom tolerance and acceptance within the service and community, and that’s not all. Being diverse can also help boost numbers and foster camaraderie between soldiers. Considering that the majority of people portrayed and represented in the military are white males, “white males stare military service in the face as a primary option… For many women and some minorities, joining the military… Is not as obvious an option”3. People like to see themselves represented. When diversity is shown, members of varying social groups are more likely to participate in the portrayed activities. It has also been observed that if the organization you belong to is more accepting, those that work within it will be more engaged, which will foster a more happy and productive environment4. Judgment from others affects the decisions that people make; more diverse environments make potential members feel that judgmentjudgmentjudgment, is less likely. This lack of judgement helps make them feel more comfortable. People with confidence in their environment tend to produce better work than those that feel stifled by the threat of judgement.

A story I read in Everything is an Argument talks about an all-women’s college named Mills College that accepts only the female gender. The author Fraas, Sarah said they also “accepted transgender females.” MeansThis meansmeans this , that a boy that is born a boy only needs to check a box that he is female, and he can get into an all-girls college. I agree with equal rights and have no problem with the LBGTQ community, but I do have a problem with accepting men into an all-girls college, surgery or not.

They still have twice the strength of most women. This means any man can just claim he is a female at this school, and be able to shower, eat, and sleep, with all the girls. Some guys would do something like that. This is both diversity and globalization. This is globalization because this school accepting transgenders is something that most schools would not. I believe if we set our disagreements aside and accepted transgenders at college and everywhere, we could live together in ethos, peacefully.

The people who do not agree with it have to deal with it to prevent trouble with the law. The LBGTQ community is the perfect example of diversity because not very many people agree with liking someone of the same sex. Brian at petersons.com says “For diversity means that the campus is viewed in a welcoming environment for anyone who wants to apply.” This is so true. It also forces us to globalize, teach, learn, and work together, gay, straight, black, white, or green. LBGTQ community are stereotyped by same-sex marriage and having the same rights as those BORN as male, female, gay, or straight. This kind of diversity is good for college and the world, because it means everybody in the classroom or working together, must interact and socialize with others the same or vastly different than them. Diversity is part of expanding knowledge and promotes creative thinking for everybody.

A diverse community means diverse ways of teaching and being able to work with somebody from a completely different place. Jeremy S Hymen on usnews.com says, “diversity expands worldliness.” As I stated earlier it forces us to interact with each other, but in most cases, this is not true. People tend to stick to what they know. Means, that when they are needing to ask a question in class a person normally asks who they know or think they know. Rarely does anybody ask the professor. If nobody likes this is nearby, then, and only then they must ask whoever is sitting next to them. I also know this from experience in this class. It is about what is familiar to us. Having diverse teachers means diverse ways of teaching. This means learning more about certain things talked about or things not known about. All from experience. The real world is diverse. Specifically, America and countries like it. A lot of people I know think, everyone benefits when it comes to social media. I think social media does as much damage as it does good. Collaboration with people from various places gives better knowledge and better results. Diversity overall on campus and otherwise is great for the world we are living in. It teaches us how to all get along and work life as one. Unfortunately, the reality is not like this everywhere. I believe if it was we the people everywhere could all live in peace. It is a sad but happy ethosmeans means

We live in a time where technological advancement has broken down numerous barriers in terms of what human kind human in believed to be possible. However, that ability to break down barriers has not found its way toward the progression of diversity in the STEM fields. Despite not only the STEM fields’ growth in necessity and popularity, but the progression of gender roles in society as well, the number of men and women in these jobs has not evened out. Men continue to significantly outnumber the women despite the foundation of programs intended to balance out these numbers.

Perhaps the process just requires more time to see a full effect, but I intend to focus my research on the current status of the problem. I began my research with a simple question: is there actual scientific evidence that proves men are more suited for SEM jobs, or are social pressures and influences the true causes? Based on that question I plan to write a position paper supporting my thesis that: while studies have proven that male and female brains do function differently, socially ingrained beliefs are the main causes of the disparity between men and women in STEM.
