Diversity and Equity
Ethnicity
Cultural assimilation - is the process whereby a minority (subordinate) ethnic group takes on the characteristics of the majority (dominant) ethnic group
Melting Pot- a concept gaining popularity in response to major increases in immigration, was that society should socialize diverse ethnic groups to blend into a common culture.
Cultural Pluralism - involves a mutual appreciation and understanding of the culture of various ethnic groups and the coexistence in society of diferent languages, religions, and lifestyles. Kallen (1956), who coined the term, theorized that the majority (dominant) culture benefits from coexistence and constant interaction with the
cultures of other ethnic groups —in other words,
“unity in diversity.”
Language -
" In 1974, Congress passed the Equal Educational opportunity act, requiring schools to take “appropriate action” to overcome the language barriers of students who cannot communicate in English" p213
Gender
Title IX "No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance. " p211
Communication Styles
"Research indicates that children’s individual communication styles vary; they have been shown to be related to socialization in the family’s culture (Banks, 2013). likewise, teachers often communicate in the style of their own culture. Sometimes the contrast in styles interferes with the child’s ability to learn" p213
Religion
"religion is a significant socializing mechanism in the transmission of values and behavior. traditions, rituals, and religious institutions reinforce the values taught in families.
Religious pluralism flourishes in the United States." p214
Disability
"a disability refers to the reduction of function or the absence of a particular body part or organ. an impairment refers to physical damage or deterioration. a handicap is defined as something that hampers a person—a disadvantage or hindrance. " p215
