Description

In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes:

Analyze the relationships among culture, diversity, and self by investigating their influence on one’s discipline of study or chosen profession
Integrate interdisciplinary approaches for determining how issues of diversity affect modern societies in both personal and professional contexts
Recommend strategies for overcoming obstacles in diversity to meet personal and professional goals
Assess the challenges of overcoming issues in diversity through the incorporation of diverse perspectives and viewpoints informed by relevant literature and peer experiences

For Final Project Part One, you will select a specific issue or event in diversity and critically analyze it through the four general education lenses: history, humanities, social sciences, and natural and applied sciences. Through viewing the issue or event through these lenses, you will gain insight into how the intersectional nature of diversity affects society as well as both your own individual framework of perception and the choices, attitudes, and behaviors of others

Be sure to support your analyses with appropriate and relevant evidence from theory and research.

Specifically, you must address the critical elements listed below.

I. Introduction: You will compile a series of critical analyses of a single event or issue in diversity through the four general education lenses: history, humanities, natural and applied sciences, and social sciences.
