Understanding Global Diversity 2024 Greg DeShields.pptxGregory DeShields
Global diversity refers to the presence of diverse perspectives, experiences, cultures, and identities within organizations, communities, and societies worldwide. It encompasses a broad range of dimensions, including but not limited to:
Cultural Diversity: Cultural diversity encompasses differences in beliefs, customs, traditions, languages, and values among people from different cultural backgrounds. It includes aspects such as nationality, ethnicity, religion, and heritage.
Ethnic Diversity: Ethnic diversity refers to the variety of ethnic groups and races represented within a population. It acknowledges the unique identities, histories, and experiences of individuals from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds.
Gender Diversity: Gender diversity recognizes the differences and complexities of gender identity and expression. It encompasses the full spectrum of gender identities, including male, female, transgender, non-binary, and gender-nonconforming individuals.
Generational Diversity: Generational diversity acknowledges the different perspectives, values, and communication styles of individuals from different generations, such as Baby Boomers, Generation X, Millennials, and Generation Z.
Ability Diversity: Ability diversity, also known as disability or differently-abled diversity, encompasses variations in physical, cognitive, sensory, and developmental abilities. It recognizes the unique strengths and contributions of individuals with disabilities.
Socioeconomic Diversity: Socioeconomic diversity reflects differences in socioeconomic status, income levels, educational backgrounds, and access to resources and opportunities. It addresses disparities in wealth, privilege, and social mobility among individuals and communities.
Linguistic Diversity: Linguistic diversity recognizes the multitude of languages and dialects spoken by people around the world. It encompasses variations in language usage, proficiency, and communication styles within multicultural and multilingual societies.
Geographic Diversity: Geographic diversity acknowledges the diversity of geographical locations, regions, and environments inhabited by people globally. It considers factors such as urban-rural divides, geographical landscapes, and climate conditions.
Global diversity is important because it enriches societies, fosters innovation, and promotes understanding and collaboration across cultures and borders. Embracing and celebrating diversity helps organizations and communities thrive in an increasingly interconnected and multicultural world, driving positive social change and sustainable development on a global scale.

Up the Ratios Bylaws - a Comprehensive Process of Our Organizationuptheratios
Up the Ratios is a non-profit organization dedicated to bridging the gap in STEM education for underprivileged students by providing free, high-quality learning opportunities in robotics and other STEM fields. Our mission is to empower the next generation of innovators, thinkers, and problem-solvers by offering a range of educational programs that foster curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking.
At Up the Ratios, we believe that every student, regardless of their socio-economic background, should have access to the tools and knowledge needed to succeed in today's technology-driven world. To achieve this, we host a variety of free classes, workshops, summer camps, and live lectures tailored to students from underserved communities. Our programs are designed to be engaging and hands-on, allowing students to explore the exciting world of robotics and STEM through practical, real-world applications.
Our free classes cover fundamental concepts in robotics, coding, and engineering, providing students with a strong foundation in these critical areas. Through our interactive workshops, students can dive deeper into specific topics, working on projects that challenge them to apply what they've learned and think creatively. Our summer camps offer an immersive experience where students can collaborate on larger projects, develop their teamwork skills, and gain confidence in their abilities.
In addition to our local programs, Up the Ratios is committed to making a global impact. We take donations of new and gently used robotics parts, which we then distribute to students and educational institutions in other countries. These donations help ensure that young learners worldwide have the resources they need to explore and excel in STEM fields. By supporting education in this way, we aim to nurture a global community of future leaders and innovators.
Our live lectures feature guest speakers from various STEM disciplines, including engineers, scientists, and industry professionals who share their knowledge and experiences with our students. These lectures provide valuable insights into potential career paths and inspire students to pursue their passions in STEM.
Up the Ratios relies on the generosity of donors and volunteers to continue our work. Contributions of time, expertise, and financial support are crucial to sustaining our programs and expanding our reach. Whether you're an individual passionate about education, a professional in the STEM field, or a company looking to give back to the community, there are many ways to get involved and make a difference.
We are proud of the positive impact we've had on the lives of countless students, many of whom have gone on to pursue higher education and careers in STEM. By providing these young minds with the tools and opportunities they need to succeed, we are not only changing their futures but also contributing to the advancement of technology and innovation on a broader scale.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

37. Failure in health and social policy since the
closure of asylums in the 1980/90s:
• Research shows that black people are overrepresented by three
times in the acute end of services and six times more likely to suffer
from death under restraint in police custody.
• Black people are less likely to receive preventative services and
talking therapies.
• Detention rates under the Mental Health Act are 44% higher
amongst black patients.
• Young men are three times more likely to have been in contact with
mental health services in the year before they committed suicide than
their white counterparts, and their suicides are more likely to be
considered preventable.
• As psychiatric inpatients, they are twice as likely to commit suicide as
white psychiatric inpatients.
• Current services are Eurocentric and not culturally sensitive, which
has an impact on patient outcomes.
38. • In any given year, 20% of children and young people are said to
have a mental health problem, but there is no data available about
how many are from black and minority ethnic (BME) backgrounds.
• Young black people are disproportionately overrepresented in the
youth justice system, social services and looked-after provision,
exclusion from school, and educational underachievement.
• Research indicates that older people may experience dementia and
depression at a higher rate than among indigenous older people.
• Depression among black and minority ethnic older people from
several different groups is known to be associated with a range of
disadvantageous conditions, including chronic health problems,
stroke, poor housing, low family support, and poor socioeconomic
status.
39. The impact of overrepresentation of
Black people in mental health services
Many black communities have lost trust in services due
to experiences of racism and cultural differences, as
highlighted in the 2002 report “Breaking the circles of
fear.”
• Stigma around mental health still exists, making it
difficult to talk about problems and to seek early help for
fear of being given a diagnosis.
• The ingrained prejudice and stigma against the Mad,
Bad, Dangerous, and Black presents a massive challenge
to the black community involved in the mental health
system.
• Inequality and discrimination of black communities can
lead to increased risk of psychosis.
• There is a lack of black representation in decision
making within the NHS, as well as amongst employees of
mental health services.
• There is a lack of capacity in communities to deliver
mental health interventions.
• Most health spending is tied up in acute rather than
preventative services.
• There is difficulty in addressing causal factors for poor
mental health, such as deprivation and social exclusion,
which are disproportionately present in poorer and black
communities.
40. Current issues and challenges facing
Black communities around mental
Health
• Impact of CAMS services and Look After Children

holistic approach and agency of self help
• Develop learning and training opportunities for community
to share lived experience and be engaged in coproduction
