A Business Case For Diversity

Following the lecture by Mr. Page, I took time to reflect on what I had seen.  I started thinking about whether or not diversity really is an important part of the work place.  I came to discover that it in fact, was.  I asked my dad about it and he said that his plant is very diverse.  He has to work alongside people of all different backgrounds and races.  He said that there are a few guys that he knows that don't get along with people of different backgrounds.  One was actually fired because he just couldn't handle working with other people.  I came to know that diversity is a HUGE deal when it comes to the workplace.  Without it, of course, no work would ever get done and the world of business would cease to exist at all.  Thanks to this diversity event, I have become more aware and prepared for the world of business and diversity.

A Week of Twitter

This week I was introduced to a whole new world I had never been a part of before, Twitter.  I have always been a part of Facebook, but I always thought that Twitter was dumb.  Over these past two weeks, I have come to find that Twitter isn't so bad after all.  One way I believe it is useful is if you have family members that don't live near you.  Using Twitter, they can keep up with up what you are doing, even the unimportant stuff( i.e. "I'm eating chicken.")  I found it fun to just randomly put things on Twitter that I wouldn't do on Facebook.  It was also interesting to see what my classmates were up to as well.  In the future, I think I might use Twitter to stay in touch with far away relatives.
