Assignment:
Reflective Journals -A core goal for this class is to facilitate your reflection on the issue of diversity and your thoughts about the readings. At the end of each week you will submit 300 to 500 words of reflection on the issues presented and readings. I want to hear your reactions to the material and how they can be applied/seen in your life and workplace. Your entries will be submitted each week through the Weekly Reflection Journal link available in a weekly module via Blackboard. These journals can be written in an informal, journalistic, reflective and personal style. This is in contrast to other written assignments for this class, which should be formal and professional. These reflections will not be shared with anyone else.
This Week Journal Questions:
Some questions to consider for your weekly reflection:
-How significant is your ethnicity to your individual identity?
-In what ways do you believe that your ethnic identity has caused you to be the victim of prejudice or discrimination in the workforce?
-Which of the common issues and concerns surrounding ethnicity in the workplace, i.e., language, accent, jokes/ridicule, and stereotypes, have you had to confront in the workplace, and how did you solve them?
-Has there ever been a time when you or someone you know was mislabeled ethnically because of racial characteristics?
-Have there been times when your individual ethnic identity or someone you know has been in conflict with your collective ethnic identity?
If so, how? How did you resolve the conflict?
