Diversity Consciousness

1.The book Diversity Consciousness describes diversity consciousness as an interconnection between skills, awareness, and understanding. Think of a time when you felt like an outsider or when you felt different from other people. Consider whether others would have been conscious of your being different. What are three steps you could take to raise diversity consciousness?

2.We each have control over our behavior, but we certainly cannot control other people. Our reading clearly outlines many ways our values and our cultures impact our behaviors. Provide an example of how your diversity impacts your behavior and how it can also impact other people’s behavior.
