Equity is about fairness. It represents a belief that there are some things which people should have, that there are basic needs that should be fulfilled. As I watched the show I immediately thought to myself, I can only imagine doctors who suffer prejudices everyday from people who judge them. But then, this possibly happens to every profession. We may see a woman CEO approaching the platform and we wonder if she is introducing the male guest speaker. Or the black doctor and we wonder, why isn't he a white man. These issues do exist in each professions.Changes in the attitude of the society in terms of acceptance. The world is evolving we need to evolve our thoughts, decisions, actions to go along with the evolution. Diversity is the making of a great nation, but minds not in the 21st century.
Hi Kalisa,
ReplyDeleteGreat blog response this week. I enjoyed reading your experiences and I am glad you bought of these points. Once again as I continue to read all my colleagues blogs, I am saddened by how easy it is for me to relate to your chosen topic. There is so much oppressions out there that we can hide from it. Television continues to be a leading factor in publicizing prejudice and biases. I wonder if because we are bringing awareness to the problem and that makes the situation grow more. I am saddened and shocked by the behavior that is continuing to be display as society evolves. Thank you for sharing your stories and have a good week!
