Social Diversity and Multiculturalism

Introduction:

1. Social diversity is the diverse factors surrounding our society such as race, culture, religion, age and disabilities. Multiculturalism to me means ethnic diversity in your society.


2. Social diversity is important in my life. I see things everyday that show different culture, religion, age and race. Being from Chicago you really have to develop a knack for seeing a lot of social diversity.


3. A couple years ago gender had been a diverse thing at school. I went to all male high school (for sports and good education) and actually thought it was cool. You really don't have to "dress to impress".  I never had a huge problem with race nor anything else.


Body: 


I think that the most influential person is my dad. He is the one that really taught me about these kinds of things. I remember about "Gangs of New York" when thinking of Social Diversity. Im Irish and i loved seeing what went on when the Irish came to America. It shows that every social group had a problem when they first arrived here.


Conclusion:


1. I think the race factor is something that i am interested in researching. Everywhere has problems with Race issues and i think everyone should know about it. It is an important topic because this is our country and we should know what is good and bad about it.


2. My major is Criminal Justice so Race has a huge part in it, good and bad. People often see the police as racist towards other race groups which has always been a problem. I think i will be hit with many of these issues when i join the force.
