Editor's Notes
- Definition of Diverysity: The state of being different or diverse . When used to describe people and population groups, diversity encompasses such factors as age, gender, race, ethnicity, ability, and religion, as well as education, professional background, and marital and parental status.” - Girl Scouts USA FOUR LEVELS Personality: this includes an individual's likes and dislikes, values, and beliefs. Personality is shaped early in life and is both influenced by, and influences, the other three layers throughout one's lifetime and career choices. Internal dimensions: these include aspects of diversity over which we have no control (though "physical ability" can change over time due to choices we make to be active or not, or in cases of illness or accidents). This dimension is the layer in which many divisions between and among people exist and which forms the core of many diversity efforts. These dimensions include the first things we see in other people, such as race or gender and on which we make many assumptions and base judgments. External dimensions: these include aspects of our lives which we have some control over, which might change over time, and which usually form the basis for decisions on careers and work styles. This layer often determines, in part, with whom we develop friendships and what we do for work and for fun. This layer also tells us much about whom we like to be with, and decisions we make our community and personal life. Organizational dimensions: this layer concerns the aspects of culture found in a work/volunteer setting. While much attention of diversity efforts is focused on the internal dimensions, issues of opportunities for development or involement are impacted by the aspects of this layer.
