Fix/Paraphrase Diversity Paper help

******Parts underlined need to be paraphrased just a bit,needs a conclusion and needs to be fixed for grammatical errors***** IntroductionThe main objective of the diversity presentations, the first is to to provide an opportunity for students to interact with individuals who are different from you in a meaningful way to better understand their perspectives. We all have biases and have a tendency to hangout with people who have the same beliefs as us, thus creating this comfortable bubble. However, we won’t always be around those who have the same beliefs, for example in the workplace employees and employers should have better understanding of diversity in order to avoid conflict and discrimination in general. The second main objective is to supplement the discussion of diversity taking place in class. Lastly, having a diverse group of interviewees is a great way to understand their uniqueness and diverse background. Those differences consist of race, gender and age which all play a vital role in diversity.Summary & Reflection on Diversity Presentations  GenderKey PointsI, Robert Magana covered the topic female gender for the diversity presentation but accidentally covered both male and female, sorry for the mistake. I chose to interview Janai and Chris, they are both going to college and 22 years-old. Janai works as a high-school advisor at Frazier High and Chris works as a chemistry tutor at Bakersfield College.  When asked what do you wish others knew about people who are male or female? Janai, wished females were seen as their own individual and can be independent. She thinks society doesn’t give enough credit to females due to the stereotype that a male must support women because women can’t support themselves without a male in the picture. She also brought up that women can also be breadwinners and are fully capable of supporting a family with their income. When I asked Chris this question, his response was different, which is expected and he couldn’t stress enough that males have emotions. He mentioned that all males have emotions and that society expects males to be these tough, emotionless robots that don’t show weakness. He knows deep down by holding your emotions in is never healthy for a person. He also talked about men being a handy man and feels that not all men enjoy fixing things just because men are usually obligated to step up and do it in society. The second question I asked them was, what challenges have you faced because you are male or female? Janai said she has always been see as less than a male in her life, when around her male friends or co-workers she would be told she couldn’t complete a certain task because she is a female. Secondly, her dad gave her little to no freedom growing up and even now her dad is strict because she is female. When Chris was asked this question he mentioned that he always feels pressured to act masculine, be the initiator in relationships and to have a lot of money in order to support a female. When I asked them what changes would you like to see in society given your experiences? Janai would like to see males and females to be held at the same standard and would love for females to have better chance at higher paid professions in a company. Chris would like gender roles to be destroyed and would love if males had lower expectations from society.  Brittany Garcia chose to interview Jacob and Eric for her gender presentation on males. Jacob is majoring in chemistry, is 21 years-old and works at petroleum club as a server assistant. Eric is majoring in biology, is 29 years old and previously worked at TA but is now unemployed. When she asked them what challenges they faced because they are male? Jacob mentioned, he was told to hold in his emotions and crying doesn’t solve anything in life. He was always told to never ask for help unless it’s last resort and faces challenges with the “friendship zone”. Eric mentioned, he has to keep constant image of being an ideal man and has a mentality of not showing any weaknesses. When she asked them what is expected out of males? Jacob mentioned, men have to work in the back, men are labeled as protectors and have expectations for paying for dates, walking on the side closest to the street. Eric mentioned, men are also expected to be protector, physically strong in relationship in order for it to last. Men are expected to work more dangerous jobs, do the dirty work and are expected to propose for marriage. The net question she asked them was, what do you wish others knew about people who are males? Jacob brought up that, the whole “nice guys finish last” is not true at all and if males chose not to fight back in certain situations, that doesn’t label as weakling. Eric brought up, some men are uncomfortable to talk about their feelings in certain situations and that guys get sexually harassed but are scared to bring it up. When asked about the changes they would like to see in society, they both introduced that society in general shouldn’t be bias and that we should find ways to diminish gender bias. Another topic they touched up on was for people to stop assuming that all men are these aggressive monsters that think about sex 24/7.In Jessica’s presentation, she interviewed two males; Rene and Manuel. Rene is 25 years old while Manuel is 55 years old. Manuel wishes others would know that not only women get discriminated but also men. If males stay home to take care of their kids while the women work, they are seen as lazy. But if it were the other way around it would be a problem. A challenge Rene had faced because he is male is that he was always expected to be the provider for a family. He is expected to make great amount of money so his wife and kids can live a good life without struggling. This puts a lot of stress on Rene’s shoulders. Some changes both Rene and Manuel would like to see in society are women getting jobs that pay more. This will help let go of the expectations men have, which is to be the provider of the family. Some advice they wish college students realize about diversity were to not let someone’s opinions get in the way of their success in life. If a male decides to be a stay at home dad than instead of the female, then let it be. If your goal in life is to be a traveling nurse and you’re scared because of gender bias than how are we going to be living in a diverse world in the work field. It goes to women wanting to join the oil fields also or joining the Marine Corps to be a recruiter later in life.In Julian’s presentation, he interviewed two females. Both of the female interviewees wish others would know that women could work just as hard as a man can. The female’s interviewees had faced many challenges in the workplace because they were females. One challenge is facing a lot of sexist remarks. Both women get their “emotions” described as their monthly periods getting in the way. When a female is angry she will be described as, “she’s only angry because she’s on her period”. More challenges both females experienced were sexual harassment and gender roles. Society sees a mother with having her own business and being a wife as an unfair treatment. Women should be at home cleaning, cooking, and taking care of her family. Some changes the interviewees would like to see in society are more opportunities for women and to stop the stereotyping and gender roles. New Insights, Beliefs, Attitudes After hearing presentation about the male experience in society, I can directly relate to males since I am a male myself and thought it was neat to here all of interviewees side of the story about being a male in the world. What I gained from from all the presentations was we shouldn’t limit each other based on gender and we as society should be open minded for change. Gender roles are dying slowly but they are still a big problem in certain situations, and because I am a male I do feel the pressure with having greater expectations from parents, family, friends and society in general. Those expectations consist of having a well paying job in order to provide for a potential wife or kids and to be the main source of income and to work long hours. I believe there is nothing wrong with a man not making as much as their partner or if they chose to work less hours in order to spend more time with his kids. It’s rare to see this happen because males might feel discouraged, or feel less like a man if this was the case. There is nothing wrong with this situation in my opinion but because stereotypes are heavily believed in the United States, people really never think about this choice. What Chris, Jacob Eric all desire to share their feelings but are too scared too because the label that is put on males in society. However, It provides me with more confidence knowing that I’m not alone when comes to expressing my feelings. In the past, I’ve always bottled up my emotions because I didn’t want to be label as a “little girl” but growing up I realized that there is nothing wrong with human beings expressing their emotions regardless if your male or female. After hearing the interviews experience, it has helped me to see a side of men that you normally don’t hear about and now when I see a man acting sensitive, I wont label them as being a “little girl” or don’t expect them to be this masculine person society labels them as.After hearing the female experience as a woman, I’ve always had an idea that females aren’t treated the same as males and don’t gain the same respect in certain situations, but have never thought about how that affects them in their lives. All the females shared there struggles with in the presentations and I honestly forgot how much females are discriminated in the workplace. Thinking back at companies I worked for and even now where I currently work, now I do realize that aren’t a lot of female mangers or executives in the workplace. The workplace needs more female executives if you ask me, I think it would be nice but the problem is females have children which set them back from promotions or higher position jobs which is unjust to me and only way they can break the glass ceiling is if they decide give up starting a family and maybe even remain single until they make it. The biggest change I would like to see for females in the workplace, is for companies to have better understanding that women bare children which is big road block for the road for success, so I would like to see polices established to protect a woman’s road to success. The female interviewees know not to accept the standard of being a housewife or dependent on male. They want society to not only see them equal as men but also even as a higher gender role.Being More Effective Dealing with GendersI believe to be more effective while dealing with genders we need to destroy the roles. Society believes in all the gender roles and it is controlling how we see things in life.Race  Key Points  In Karla Moreno’s presentation, she interviewed Ariam and Rachel. Ariam was born in the United States to her Eritrean parents. She is classified as Black. Ariam is currently enrolled as a senior at California State University of Bakersfield working towards a degree in accounting. She is also working as a supervisor on campus. Rachel was born in the United States and has always looked as the privileged. She grew up in Oildale in the city of Bakersfield. As she was growing up, Rachel noticed she was classified as a White hillbilly because of her skin color and the location she lived in in Bakersfield, California. Rachel is a single mother with the highest education of a high school diploma. Ariam wish people would know that just because she came from Africa, doesn’t mean she came from a tribe or lived in a village. Rachel wish people would consider that not every white person is privilege or comes from white trash. Her parents have worked hard for everything they had and have worked jobs to make sure she always had what she needed but far from spoiled. A challenge Ariam has faced was in the work place; people assume that she is not educated and she only got the job because they needed a black person for diversity purposes. Some challenges Rachel has faced was being a single mother and being judged when she received government aid because people assume that because she’s White she has a lot of money. Also, in the work environment, a lot of people assume that because Rachel does not have a college degree, she got the job because of who knows and not what she knows. A change Ariam would like to see in society is more people with open minds about different races in higher working positions. Rachel would like to see people understand that just because she is White doesn’t mean she had everything handed to her and spoiled her whole childhood.  Another presentation was presented with two interviewees, Tejera and Melvin, who are both African American. Tejera wishes others would know that not all African Americans are the same. Just like any other race, they are individuals. Just because someone is African American, doesn’t mean they have the same culture or beliefs as every other African American. Melvin wishes others would know that African Americans could be both street smart and book smart. Just because who grew up in a bad neighborhood does not mean your not smart. Some challenges Tejera has faced because she’s African American is discrimination. She has been followed around the store while she was shopping because they predicted she was going to shoplift. Tejera has also not been called in for a job interview because of her name. Melvin has also faced many challenges due to being African American. He has been excluded out of conversations because of his race. He feels like his opinion doesn’t matter and also had the same experience as Tejera while shopping in stores. Some changes Tejera would like to see in society are African Americans should be given more credit when credit is due. Because a lot of things that are popular today, mostly within the white community, are derived from black culture. She also feels society should focus more on the positive than the negative. Melvin would like to see more opportunities for people of color, not just African Americans but for all. He also wants society to not judge a person on what is on the outside but more on what is on the inside. Tejera wishes college students would realize the importance of diversity. Being in a diverse environment challenges every person in that environment to grow as an individual and become more open minded. The more diverse an environment becomes, the more creative and successful a project will be. Melvin wishes college students would know that diversity is great, so embrace one another and feel free to be friends or whatever you want with anyone. Melvin quoted, “It’s always exciting to see a white person rapping or a black guy singing country music, it just expands everyone’s horizons.” At the end of the presentation Tejera and Melvin both left advice for our class. Tejera said, don’t be afraid to surround yourself with people who are not like you. You can learn a lot from them through their viewpoints and life experiences. Melvin shared some similar advice on to start surrounding ourselves with others different than us. We can learn a lot from different people.  Another presentation that was presented in class was followed by an interviewee name Brett. He was born in Chicago and is 35 years old. Brett is a finance manager at the company of Verizon Wireless. His response to the question “what do you wish others knew about people who are American” was that he wishes most people knew that United States is more about history.*
