DIVERSITY PRESENTATION

Overview

We have reviewed several theories related to culture, ethnicity, and diversity. This final assignment requires you to develop a presentation on a diversity topic of your choice that could ultimately be used as a basis for a staff development session.

Instructions

You may determine the work setting for your presentation, such as educational institutions, businesses, nonprofit organizations, hospitals, or mental health care facilities. After selecting the presentation setting, choose your topic that may include any area covered in this course. 

Sample topics:

Racial stereotypes and racism (select one racial or ethnic group).

Immigration.

Religion and spirituality.

Sexual orientation and heterosexism.

Age stereotypes and ageism.

Mental disabilities.

Physical disabilities.

Other topic of your choice related to culture, ethnicity, and diversity.

Using the course readings and other scholarly literature as a basis, develop a presentation on the topic of your choice using PowerPoint, Prezi, or other courseroom-compatible format as follows:

Part 1

Provide an overview of the topic that includes areas that will be covered in the presentation, a brief description of the population or social group you chose, and key definitions and terms.

Part 2

The body of the presentation should include the following:

Strengths and other positive aspects of being a member of the social group or population.

Challenges faced by members of this group. Issues related to categorization and stereotyping, prejudice, discrimination, and social stigma should be incorporated.

Part 3

Conclude with possible solutions to help combat the challenges faced and/or strategies to support the social group or population.

The following guide may be used to organize your presentation:

Slide 1: Title (APA style).

Slide 2: Presentation overview/outline.

Slides 3 and 4: Description of population or social group.

You must include expanded details that elaborate on the slides using the notes section of the slide presentation. Please remember to use course readings and other scholarly sources to support your work.
