DIVERSITY 
MANAGEMENT 
- BY GROUP 8
Now the Star-Belly Sneetches 
Had bellies with stars. 
The Plain-Belly Sneetches 
Had none upon thars. 
Those stars weren’t so big. They were really so small 
You might think such a thing wouldn’t matter at all. 
But because they had stars, all the Star-Belly Sneetches 
Would brag, “We’re the best kind of Sneetch on the beaches.” 
With their snoots in the air, they would sniff and they’d snort, 
“We’ll have nothing to do with the Plain-Belly sort!” 
And whenever they met some, when they were out walking, 
They’d hike right on past them without even talking. 
—Dr. Seuss, The Sneetches and Other Stories
