Thanks to the recent spate of activism centered around the Black Lives Matter and the Me Too movements, the issue of diversity in corporate American is being subjected to a long overdue scrutiny. Intellectuals, activists, think-tanks, and government agencies have raised a number of concerns such as the underrepresentation of racial minorities and women in positions of power, the lack of corporate sensitivity to issues of racism in the workplace, the all-too-frequent scandals about racism in corporate public messaging/advertising, and the structural barriers at every stage that prevent certain categories of people from achieving their full potential.
For this discussion forum, I want you to make any one post on any of the issues concerning “diversity” in corporate America (or in society) and offer your take on it. You can highlight problems (and suggest solutions, if appropriate).
Here are examples of questions you can raise:
(a) What will be the impact of the Black Lives Matter/MeToo movement in corporate America? (b) Why is there such lack of diversity at the top levels in corporate headquarters and boardrooms? (c) Why is diversity training not effective? (d) What are the biggest obstacles to eliminating discrimination in the workplace?
Instructions:
Make one post on any of the issues concerning diversity in organizations or in society. Your post should be around 350 words long.
