Title: Understanding Diversity
Purpose: To reflect on our own understanding of diversity.
Resources: This essay is a reflection exercise.
Activity Instructions:
After reading chapter 5 of the textbook, complete this activity. You have learned about the skill of understanding and managing diversity – what it is, why it is important, and how to improve your skill in these areas.
Answer the questions below in comprehensive, complete sentences. Do not provide brief answers. Instead, compose at least 4-5 full sentences (i.e., a complete paragraph) that answer each of the posed thought-provoking discussions. Assignments that do not answer all required questions or meet the minimum sentence requirement will be rendered incomplete and earn “0” credit.
Please remember that your task is to not only write your own assessment, but to show that you are able to draw connections between your readings and your reflection. Use concepts and theories from the appropriate chapters, explain your understanding of their application, and show how they help you understand yourself. Remember to cite properly in-text (Author, YEAR) and at the end of your reflection with a fully formatted APA reference.
I have provided you with a template where these questions are already entered. All you need to do is enter your own information by typing it right into the template.
1. Explain the difference between valuing and managing diversity and provide examples from professional experiences for each. Your examples should be novel (do not use what is written in the book). Show how communication affects this process.

5. Identify, define and explain one barrier to accepting diversity discussed in your textbook that you experienced/observed and discuss how you would address it.
