As the workforce continues to become more diverse, so do points of view and opportunities for interpretation
1. As the workforce continues to become more diverse, so do points of view and opportunities for interpretation. These can take place at a variety of levels, including identity and ideology. Diversity can take a variety of forms, including but not limited to race, class, gender, age, and physical ability. How have you seen one or more of these issues surface in your experience in the workforce? To what extent do any of them play a role in the upcoming case study you will address at the end of Topic 4?
2. Identity and difference are often thought about in terms of hierarchical relationships, in which one person in a position of power makes judgments about another person who is not. At the same time, identity and difference also play a role in communication among peers. In your view, what are some of the ways in which identity and difference play out in a situation in which power dynamics are more obvious? How might they play out in a situation in which peers are involved? Use this week’s readings to develop your answer.
