Ethnicity and Diversity

March 14, 2012

  Ethnicity is the affiliation to certain racial or cultural ties. Ethnicity and race are not the same because race identifies people with their origin e.g. Blacks and Africa. Diversity is accepting the race, gender and ethnicity from other communities that are different from one’s own. In the past few years, people of different ethnic backgrounds have been living together respectfully. This creates multiculturalism where different cultures interact between each other. In this practice, there are no specific ethnic, religious or cultural values of any community that are viewed to be better than the others. All individuals are treated fairly and with respect. The society provides equal opportunities for all communities in the society. When one respects the religion and culture ...

Conflict Resolution

March 14, 2012

  Conflict is unavoidable, and it is viewed as a natural part of life. Conflict is evident when people are working together in a team. In team work, people’s perspectives, interests, beliefs and values create conflict. Conflict can be either beneficial or damaging to a team, however, it can be managed properly to yield positive results. Conflict resolution helps people to understand and redefine themselves and the society. To identify conflict in a team, members, and all affected by conflict have to be present when finding a solution so as to solidify, and strengthen the team. When a team is handling a complex situation they vote to come to an agreement. Some teams may use the majority rule while others prefer unanimity.
