Question 1: When considering types of ascribed and achieved categories of diversity found within the average organization, what are the potential outcomes when organizational leaders believe that diversity should be tolerated or that members should assimilate into the organizational culture? Give examples of this dynamic and provide potential remedies for this behavior.
Question 2: Society has an enormous amount of power and influence when considering the various categories and attitudes around the issue of diversity. In thinking about race, gender roles, class, and other categories, society has vastly shaped how we view diversity. Yet, many organizations promote the mission of their agency to create an all-inclusive, pluralistic environment for their entire workforce. Is it possible for an organization to create an organizational culture to counter societal influences? What are some formal and informal ways that organizations attempt to do so?
