Diversity Timeline

In our assignment this week, you will be examining your own experience with diversity by creating a diversity timeline.  Use the attached timeline template or create your own!

Your timeline will begin from birth to the present.  Include the following events on your timeline with the approximate year and a brief description about the event:

When was the first time you met someone of a different race?
When did you learn another language?
When did you first travel far from home?
When was the first time you worked with someone of a different culture?
Have you experienced a person avoiding you due to your race or culture? If so, when?
When did you first observe an incident you considered biased or prejudice?
Please include any significant events, personal or historical, that influenced your attitudes on diversity.
Follow your timeline with a minimum 250 word response covering the following points:

How have your experiences impacted how you personally view diversity (positively or negatively)?
Do you think your experiences are common or unusual for your age, social class, and where you live?
Identify any stereotypes you may have about a particular group.  Where did these stereotypes come from (family, friends, media, etc.)?  Did any of your experiences create, reinforce, or destroy stereotypes?
