Diversity in American population

The American society is built on migrants, and the country continues to receive migrants from different parts of the country. America is experiencing a rise in racial and ethnic diversity. According to the 2017 US census, the Asian population is the highest growing followed by multiracial population (Eligon, 2017). The American society is increasingly getting diverse. Therefore, the need for coexistence and tolerance among communities is crucial for a peaceful country. The recent violence reported in different states is a reason enough to make people start a conversation on the growing multicultural society. The American society has to find ways to ensure that the country remains united despite the rise in cultural differences. This research proposal aims at researching the impact of rising diversity in American society.

The success of the research will depend on information that involves behavior change as a result of the increasing diversity. It will largely be based on the feeling and opinions of people around me especially students. As an international student, I have firsthand experience of diversity around me and will influence my research. The methods of collection that would be used include surveys, interviews, observation, and focused group discussions. Some of the key search terms would include diversity, culture, tolerance, coexistence, race, and ethnicity. This research will use different sources, methods, and approaches to collect and interpret data. Some of the sources that will be used will include government sources such as data from the recent census, people, journals, and books.

The research will be conducted within a month. Activities will take different periods depending on the weight of the work. The schedule outline:

The ability of the research findings to find a way into community discussion depends on the credibility of the researcher. My experiences as an international student are a component that would influence my writing mostly. I intend to use my experiences to build a convincing argument on the impact of diversity in American on tolerance and coexistence in the case of the university I attend. I value other people’s opinions because we all cannot agree on one thing. Different researchers have their perspectives when conducting research, and for my research, I would limit the extent to which I would use the research to reinforce what I believe.

Diversity is a relevant today due to rise in intolerance among communities. Many people across the world are getting displaced in their countries due war and violence (’2010 Census Shows America's Diversity’ 2011). America has had a tradition of accommodating these vulnerable populations, however; the communities are experiencing hate crimes. My research would help start the conversation about tolerance and coexistence in the American society.
