In my opinion, the 2 qualities that make a good team are support and communication. Communication has helped me immensely with working with people. Talking to one another in regard to things that need to be done, things that have already been done, and whos working on what helps to make things work together more smoothly. Without communication, people are more likely to get mad with one another because the goals and jobs needing to be done are not talked about

Topic was about

Part 1:

Based on the content we reviewed from this week, discuss (in detail) ways we can support others in our diverse community. That community can be local, state, regional, national, global. Feel free to share things you have done in the past or seen others do. Your answer can include descriptions of major social movements or events that have taken place as long as you make sure to tie your answer to what YOU can do to be an ally for someone based on that example OR what from this week's content reminds you of or can be connected to your example.

Part 2:

Using content and discussion from this semester, identify a diversity research project you would be interested in conducting. Be sure to identify if you are interested in doing a qualitative or quantitative study and why you would want to conduct such a project and include specific concepts and terms from class. For example, if you want to conduct studies on age, you might want to explore the impact of elderspeak on identity through qualitative interviews, or if you are interested in exploring shared experiences and sense of identity based on social/economic class, you might want to distribute a quantitative survey asking people their preferences, familiarity, access to various services, amenities, and activities in their communities, as well as their annual household income and other demographic questions. Perhaps you are interested in collecting both - maybe you want to use data from your survey on access to resources in their community to connect with people to conduct qualitative interviews about their experiences and opinions related to access to resources. (For those of you interested in research later in life, the ideal would be to have the qualitative and quantitative data speak to each other.).

I think that the most important way to support others in our diverse community is to educate yourself on the struggles that others endure and talk to those around you. In doing this, you are making yourself aware of the situations of those around you so you can therefore support them in their personal struggles. I think another important way to show this support is to learn about and use your personal privilege to use your voice in turn with those who may not be able to. I know from personal experience, I have a significant amount of privilege due to my race and sexual orientation, so I am able to/ have more

confidence to speak up when someone is potentially being treated poorly due to being a minority in one of these ways.

Something that I found myself being quite interested in during this semester was the effect of socioeconomic upbringing on different groups of people. I would likely be interested in a qualitative study that discusses how different people choose college majors based on their socioeconomic class growing up. This may not seem like a very important topic, but in my time in college, it has been made clear that there are specific college majors that people choose depending on how they were brought up. This study would consist of asking questions about what school they attend, their household income during childhood/ young adulthood, and obviously, their college major. Along with these basic demographic questions, they would need to be asked about what activites they were able to participate in and what ammenities they were provided with, and also what their parents did. I believe this may be interesting for institutions to see to potentially be able to create more variety of who declares what major

One of the ways you can support a diverse community is be supportive of businesses owned by people

of cultures different than your own. Going to new resturants allows you to financially build that family

while also getting to experience their culture through food. If I were going to do conduct a study about

diversity I would utilized a combination of both because hard numbers and data are important. With

diversity there are too many variables for it to simply be quantitative, so having some more open ended

type data would be beneficial.
