Journal Entry or Discussion Starter: “I have never in my life learned anything from any man who agreed with me.” ~Dudley Field Malone
How can having someone
disagree with you help you learn? Explain your thoughts. How does everyone being different make things harder? How can you overcome these challenges? Would it be easier if everyone had the same personality, looks, talents and interests? 3 Possible Approaches to Diversity: Level 1: Shun diversity Afraid of diversity Enjoy ridiculing those who are different Join anti-groups because there is strength in numbers Level 2: Tolerate diversity Believe everyone has the right to be different, but don’t embrace diversity Think: You keep to yourself and I’ll keep to myself. See differences as hurdles, not as potential strengths Level 3: Celebrate diversity Learned that two people who think differently can achieve more Value differences as an advantage Doesn’t mean you necessary agree with those differences (Rap music vs. Rock music, etc.) but you value them. Synergy T-chart
It is… Celebrating differences Teamwork Open- mindedness Finding new and better ways Synergy T-chart (con’d)
It is not Just tolerating differences Working independently Thinking you’re always right Compromise The giant Redwoods, or sequoia trees, can reach heights of over 300 ft. They grow in clumps and share a vast array of intermingled roots. Without each other, they would blow over in a storm.

Helpful Definitions: Analytical: using analysis or logical reasoning Inquisitive: curious, likes to ask questions Practical: to be useful in real circumstances, doable Systematic: doing something according to a plan or method Originate: creating or initiating something from the beginning Reflection:
What fruit were you? (Find your corner)
Which fruit was the best? What if we were all the same? We all have strengths and weaknesses. No one is better or worse, just different

Three major roadblocks are
ignorance, cliques and prejudice Ignorance-lack of knowledge or education or awareness You don’t know what other people believe, how they feel, or what they have been through. i.e. Crystal’s story on p. 190 Cliques-small group of people with shared interests that don’t readily allow others to join them
Nothing wrong with being with
people you are comfortable, but cliques exclude people that aren’t just like you Breaking into a clique isn’t hard! You just lose your identity and assimilate and suffer superiority complexes. “The Plastics” in Mean Girls Prejudice-preconceived opinion that is not based on reason or actual experience Although we are created equally, we’re not treated equally Have you ever been pre-judged based on skin color, your clothes, your accent, where you live? Prejudicesare learned (which means they can be unlearned!) “The Cold Within” p. 192 George H.W. Bush Eulogy
His friend, Sen. Alan Simpson, said at his funeral that the President never hated anyone. In his eulogy to the President, he stated that the President, “knew what his mother and my mother always knew:
…Hatred corrodes the container it’s carried in.”
Within your groups, talk about what you think this quote means. Stick up for Diversity
Be an upstander vs. a bystander
Watch out for the moments where you need to be courageous, when you can stop the bullying of another person right in its tracks. This might be online or in person.
Be the person who leads by example, not just sits quietly and pretends they don’t see. Don’t be guilty by association.
If you know it’s wrong, say something.

We all see differently: Synergy Examples
Madagascar Penguins Minions A-B Partner Teach
Stand up! With a shoulder partner, review each step of the synergy action plan. Partner A will start with step one and Partner B will continue and you will go back and forth. Do this again with Partner B starting. We are diversity!
If you could tell your classmates anything about you
(your culture, religion, your home situation, a disability you may have, etc.), what would you want them to know?
What would you hope they would understand about
you in order to find common ground?
On a scrap of paper, tell your classmates about
yourself using the starter, "I want my classmates to know..." We are diversity! Challenge!
Make 3 compliments each day for 21 days.
You can start out with people you know, but try to make at least one of those compliments to someone you don’t know.
See how this starts to spread and make others feel good about themselves and hopefully, they will do the same.
