Diversity Training - Part 1

Why:

*To enable persons with different backgrounds and perspectives to work together to achieve a common goal.
* To enable persons from different countries to understand one another as they work together in a global economy.
* To enable persons to look beyond the ‘material’ manifestation of their fellow human beings and recognize the strengths and weaknesses of character.

In the current and future global economy, world business leaders are looking to hire highly educated/skilled persons who are able to communicate with and respect their co-workers regardless of their ethnic/national background. Americans must be able to compete in the world market and be prepared to work with coworkers of every background and nationality.

Who:

*Trainers of diversity must come from every background that is represented in the institution/business that is receiving the training. (A team of facilitators)

*Trainers of diversity must be trained and credentialed in current proven strategies in order to insure success and retention of the concepts taught.

*The most effective trainer of diversity is the parent. Acceptance of those who are different is taught at an early age. Parents who expose their children to a diverse environment are preparing their child to make decisions regarding others on sound principles, which are taught in the home, and not based on such criteria as skin color. If parents do not have a diverse environment in which to raise their child, it has been shown that providing children with dolls, books, etc. that show diversity helps the child to accept those who look different. A child should choose first those who look like his parents and family – and later not show any fear of or disrepect those who look different. Children are cognizant of how parents treat and/or speak of those who appear ‘different’. Children reflect what they have been taught at home.

How:

* In the past, American History has been taught as if some citizens who have been marginalized did not contribute to our history. This is changing – and as children are taught American History correctly – the realization that America is a country composed of persons from many different backgrounds will change the need for ‘diversity training’ in America to be based on race, religion, and sexual preference. As long as our citizens judge fellow citizens and others on the criteria of race, religion, and sexual preference – the United States will need to expose their citizens to diversity training. Hopefully, in the future, Training for Diversity, will mean working with those who have different work styles.

Doesn't take much to amuse you, apparently. As long as the "joke" is on someone you despise.
There is no humor in poking fun at the way a person is born! There are 300 pound, 6 ft 5 jackasses also!

I think he may be a wee bit taller then when he was born, and I'm sorry to hear you're up to 300 pounds now, maybe try to get off the couch once in a while.
