Document Content and Description Below

Diversity is one of the most important topics in our community. Diversity is a must in our world today. For our world to thrive and survive, we must be educated on diversity. We have to know the diffe... rent types of people we surround ourselves with and the culture behind it. Diversity is not necessarily about race or ethnicity. It is also about disability and gender expressions. If a male feel as if they are a female, we cannot prevent that person from being great due to the fact that they are expressing as the opposite sex. For example, in New York, most of the school systems are very much diverse. Most of the colleges are diverse. “It said it would eliminate, by 2019, an admissions method known as limited unscreened, in which schools prioritize applicants who demonstrate interest by, say, attending an information session or an open house. Critics say this advantages student whose parents have the time and ability to take them to an open house. The city also said it would prevent middle schools from seeing how students ranked them on their applications and would increase access to screened schools for students with disabilities, students learning English and homeless students” (Taylor, 2017). The reason behind affirmative action is to prevent discrimination but by doing so, it creates discrimination against the other race who are not being included. For example on the Fisher v University of Texas, she was being discriminating for not being part of a group that is being discriminating against. I believe acceptable goals for affirmative action is to include all races. I believe having loopholes in all policies might make it easier for someone of another race to feel as if they can be included. Diversity will not be an easy topic to engage in and correct because the society will always find a way to make themselves feel like a target, but we can set rules, regulations and boundaries for people to follow.
