How to Solve Stereotyping

Topic: Identify a “problem” relating to diversity and solve it First you need to identify a problem based on your own experience and interests. The problem could be as broad as “Why can’t we all just get along?” or as specific as “How can we get more women working in STEM fields?” The problem could be “How can we solve our immigration?” problem or “How can we increased social and economic equaliy in the country?” or “How can we support the rights of all Americans regarding Gay Rights and Religion?” or “How can we improve relations between the Police and the communities in which they operate?” Perhaps the problem you identify is personal: “How can I become more aware of discrimination in society or the workplace?” or perhaps it is related to your specific field of employment: “How can we harness the energy of diversity in my [insert type or name of] company?” The sky is the limit! You get to be the idea person! You get to come up with a solution to something meaningful and of your own choosing. Go for it!
