7 Underlying Principles of Diversity
1. Diversity is an inside job, it is not about them2. Diversity goes beyond race and gender3. No one is the target of blame for current or
past inequalities4. Human beings are ethnocentric5. The human species resists changes,
continuing to seek homeostasis6. Human beings find comfort and trust in
likeness7. It is difficult for people to share power
10
Our heritage belongs to all
Our world heritage is our shared heritage.
UNESCO

1.1. Define the term “diversity”
“Diversity is the term used to describe the relative uniqueness of each individual in the population…the state of being diverse.”
12
Diversity is a set of conscious practices that involve:
• Understanding and appreciating interdependence of humanity, cultures, and the natural environment
• Practicing mutual respect for qualities and experiences that are different from our own
• Understanding that diversity includes not only ways of being but also ways of knowing
13
Continued…• Recognizing that personal, cultural, and
institutionalized discrimination creates and sustains privileges for some while creating and sustaining disadvantages for others
• Building alliances across differences so that we can work together to eradicate all forms of discrimination

of 3 powerful trends in our society:
Trend 1: The global market in which American corporations must now do business became highly competitive
Trend 2: The makeup of the United States population began changing dramatically
Trend 3: Individuals began to celebrate their differences instead of compromising their uniqueness to “fit in”

– Multicultural: no distinct culture as American

Miller and Katz 2002

personal and work life• Filters that change and modify life’s
experiences
29
