Diverting hate speech with simple online tools (Chioma Agwuegbo - Reboot)mysociety
This was presented by Chioma Agwuegbo from Reboot at the Impacts of Civic Technology Conference (TICTeC 2018) in Lisbon on 18th April 2018. You can find out more information about the conference here: http://tictec.mysociety.org/2018
The document discusses strategies for changing negative stereotypes associated with people of color in American media. It outlines several recent examples where media images received backlash for promoting racist stereotypes. It then proposes an interactive website called "Who Are You" that allows people to share their own stories, with the goal of flooding the social landscape with positive profiles that counter existing stereotypes by being interesting, simple, engaging and promoting conversation. The idea is the website could help people think beyond stereotypes by exposing them to diverse stories.

Here are the key findings from this study on how learning varies across medium, issue, and individual cognitive skills:
- Television was best for simple factual learning on less complex issues, while newspapers were better for more complex, contextualized issues requiring more cognitive engagement.
- Individuals with higher verbal ability and prior knowledge learned more from newspapers compared to television across issues.
- No single medium was uniformly superior - it depends on the type of learning, issue complexity, and characteristics of the individual learner. Different media can complement each other.
- For television, grabbing attention through entertaining formats may aid simple factual recall but could interfere with deeper learning requiring sustained attention to context and interpretation.
- If done in 2012, the authors
This document summarizes a thesis written by Jeannine Alsous in 2016 that analyzed YouTube comments on two Cheerios commercials featuring interracial families. The thesis reviewed literature on the history of interracial relationships in America and theories like symbolic interaction theory and critical race theory. It then analyzed 400 YouTube comments on the Cheerios commercials, coding them as positive or negative and sorting them into themes. The analysis found that supportive and defensive themes were most common among positive comments, while racism and hate were most common among negative comments. Intercoder reliability testing found high agreement between three coders on comment categorization.

This report of people from different caste groups in the Indian mediaOxfam India
This report studies the representation of people from different caste groups in the Indian media. It documents who has a seat at the table and whose voice has a chance of being heard.
This study examined representation of marginalized caste groups in major Indian media outlets including English and Hindi newspapers, TV news channels, digital news sites and magazines from October 2018 to March 2019. Data was collected on journalists, writers and TV panelists' castes through surveys, public records and surname analysis.
Key findings include that upper castes, especially Brahmins, Kshatriyas and Vaishyas dominate media leadership and journalism roles. Scheduled Tribes were almost entirely absent while Scheduled Castes had some representation but mostly as activists or politicians rather than journalists. Other Backward Classes were also underrepresented despite making up over half the population. The study aims to open discussion on increasing inclusion of marginalized
Diversity in the United States Final by GilSheppard ETH125.docx Sat. May 16,...Gilbert sheppard
The document discusses diversity in the United States. It notes that minority populations are expected to become the majority by 2050, with Hispanics growing the fastest. There have historically been challenges to diversity from European colonists not respecting Native Americans. However, diversity provides benefits like improved business and innovation. The media both supports diversity through educational content and shows prejudice at times in its coverage of issues. Overall, as diversity increases, working together across racial and ethnic groups will be important for community success.
This document provides a summary of recent research related to racism. It begins with an introduction from Dr. Zarrin Siddiqui, the president of ECCWA Research, stating the organization's goal of promoting multiculturalism. The document then summarizes six research articles on topics related to racism, including how exposure to racism affects birth outcomes for African American women, the relationship between structural racism and risk of heart attacks among black Americans, and discourses of denial around racism in local anti-racism efforts in Australia. The introduction notes that ECCWA Research Briefs are intended to keep abreast of recent research important for ethnic communities and provide overviews of key issues.

This document discusses cultural competence in working with Asian and Pacific Islander populations. It begins by providing demographic information on the diversity within these groups. It then discusses the importance of cultural awareness, knowledge acquisition, and skill development for social workers. The document also outlines some of the discriminatory experiences that early Asian immigrants faced and the impact of oppression. It concludes by emphasizing the need for achieving social and economic justice and culturally competent practice for these client groups.
This document discusses racial stereotyping. It begins by explaining that stereotypes make it easier for people to simplify and understand social groups, though they often contain some element of truth. It then discusses a famous 1933 study where university students displayed high levels of agreement about racial stereotypes, such as describing African Americans as lazy or Jews as shrewd. The document concludes by stating that while stereotypes can help people understand others, they are more often used to negatively judge others based on their appearance or attributes.
Research Paper (Stereotype Activation and Application)Dylan Russell
Dylan V. Russell conducted a study to examine the effect of media content priming on the activation and application of racial stereotypes. 41 undergraduate students were randomly assigned to read one of three newspaper articles: one portraying African Americans negatively, one neutrally, and one positively. Participants then completed a Symbolic Racism Scale. Results showed no significant difference in scores between the three media content groups, suggesting priming with words alone may not effectively activate racial stereotypes.
Here are a few key points regarding the debate over using corn in our food system:
- Corn is widely used in many processed food products due to its low cost and availability. However, most corn grown in the U.S. is genetically modified, raising some health and environmental concerns.
- Consumers concerned about GMOs argue that long-term health effects of GM corn consumption are unknown and that GM crops could potentially harm other plant species. Supporters counter that GM corn has been thoroughly tested and no ill effects have been found.
- High fructose corn syrup, used extensively in many foods and beverages, may contribute to weight gain and poor health when consumed in large amounts. However, moderation is important
The Hollywood Diversity Report from 2014 found that minorities and women are underrepresented in film and television. It showed that only 5% of lead roles went to minority actors, 4% of creators were minorities, and most writing staffs were less than 10% minority or less than 40% women. This lack of diversity fails to represent the diverse American population and influences narrow perceptions. However, diverse shows like Grey's Anatomy and Scandal have found popularity, showing people want diversity. Organizations are working to address the issue and push for more inclusive hiring.
This document discusses representation in media, focusing on how gender, race, age and other attributes are represented. It notes that media representations are artificial constructions that influence perceptions of reality. Gender representation is discussed in depth, along with examples of racial stereotypes. The challenges of representing diverse races, ethnicities, ages and abilities are also examined through case studies and analyses of media texts.
Western culture defines beauty through light skin, straight hair, small facial features. This affects the self-esteem of African American women, who are portrayed less positively in media if they have darker skin or kinkier hair. Research shows lighter skin African American women are viewed more positively. The media enforces these stereotypes through reality shows about cosmetic surgery and articles stating black women are less attractive. This standard of beauty causes African American women to alter their natural hair and features through relaxing hair and plastic surgery to match white beauty ideals.
This paper examines how African American women are portrayed in reality television through the lens of cultivation theory. Previous research has found that reality TV depicts African American women through negative stereotypes like the "angry black woman" and portrays them engaging in more violence than men. Additionally, reality TV influences perceptions of body image, suggesting empowerment comes through sexuality. The author proposes to survey college students to explore whether reality TV could develop positive stereotypes for African American women, allow empowerment through other means than sex, and depict them as less violent.

Three Historical Narratives:
Oral to Electronic Culture
Oral Culture – all interactions take place in face-to-face discussions.
Written Culture – a shared system of inscription in a literate society exists so that communication can take place outside of face-to-face discussions across time and space.
Print Culture – an expansion of Written Culture that encompasses the consequent social and cultural changes that result from the proliferation of printer material.
Electronic Culture – communication transcends time and space.
There is a different sense of time in Oral Culture, according to Ong.
Since there are no records, memory cannot be recorded. History
can only reside in the present, in the telling of the story. Memory
is thematic and formulaic. The story may vary very little from telling to
telling over time, but the words and phrases used may differ.
Performance is the key to authorship. Every time a story is told or a work is
performed, it is shaped by the performer and provides a new model for future performances.
Oral cultures are relatively homogeneous with respect to knowledge and social norms but public and shared across generations.
Written Culture, according to McLuhan , has been the means of creating
‘civilized man.’
According to Innis, written communication allowed societies to persevere through time by creating durable texts which could be handed down and referred to. This allowed for control of knowledge by certain hierarchies and also allowed for centralized control to expand over a wider area.
Audiences could be remote in time and space, and the communicator could guarantee that the message received is identical to the one sent without having to rely on the memory of the messenger. The communicator could reach a wider and more disparate audience.
Print Culture – the ability to mechanically reproduce text freed writing
from its reliance on an elite group of individuals and guaranteed that
each copy of the text would be identical to every other copy.
Printing was instrumental in the development of a secular society and in the establishment of a democracy among the upper classes in early
modern Europe, according to historian, Elizabeth Eisenstein.
Printing reinforced the sense of individuality and privacy and makes
Introspection possible.
Printing enabled the emergence of the newspaper and the novel, and
altered the very structure of human consciousness and thought.
Electronic Culture – the telegraph reorganized people’s perception of space and time; it enabled the transmission of messages across space, and it fostered a rational reorganization of time. The telegraph also separated transportation from communication.
According to Innis, electronic culture allows for a new fo.

According to Innis, written communication allowed societies to persevere through time by creating durable texts which could be handed down and referred to. This allowed for control of knowledge by certain hierarchies and also allowed for centralized control to expand over a wider area.
Audiences could be remote in time and space, and the communicator could guarantee that the message received is identical to the one sent without having to rely on the memory of the messenger. The communicator could reach a wider and more disparate audience.
Print Culture – the ability to mechanically reproduce text freed writing
from its reliance on an elite group of individuals and guaranteed that
each copy of the text would be identical to every other copy.
Printing was instrumental in the development of a secular society and in the establishment of a democracy among the upper classes in early
modern Europe, according to historian, Elizabeth Eisenstein.
Printing reinforced the sense of individuality and privacy and makes
Introspection possible.
Printing enabled the emergence of the newspaper and the novel, and
altered the very structure of human consciousness and thought.
Electronic Culture – the telegraph reorganized people’s perception of space and time; it enabled the transmission of messages across space, and it fostered a rational reorganization of time. The telegraph also separated transportation from communication.
According to Innis, electronic culture allows for a new fo.

Measuring to Improve Medication Reconciliation
in a Large Subspecialty Outpatient Practice
Elizabeth Kern, MD, MS; Meg B. Dingae, MHSA; Esther L. Langmack, MD; Candace Juarez, MT; Gary Cott, MD;
Sarah K. Meadows, MS
Background: To assess performance in medication reconciliation (med rec)—the process of comparing and reconciling
patients’ medication lists at clinical transition points—and demonstrate improvement in an outpatient setting, sustainable
and valid measures are needed.
Methods: An interdisciplinary team at National Jewish Health (Denver) attempted to improve med rec in an ambulatory
practice serving patients with respiratory and related diseases. Interventions, which were aimed at physicians, nurses (RNs),
and medical assistants, involved changes in practice and changes in documentation in the electronic health record (EHR).
New measures designed to assess med rec performance, and to validate the measures, were derived from EHR data.
Results: Across 18 months, electronic attestation that med rec was completed at clinic visits increased from 9.8% to 91.3%
(p < 0.0001). Consistent with this improvement, patients with medication lists missing dose/frequency for at least one prescription-
type medication decreased from 18.1% to 15.8% (p < 0.0001). Patients with duplicate albuterol inhalers on their list decreased
from 4.0% to 2.6% (p < 0.0001). Percentages of patients increased for printing of the medication list at the visit (18.7% to
94.0%; p < 0.0001) and receipt of the printed medication list at the visit (52.3% to 67.0%; p = 0.0074). Documentation
that patient education handouts were offered increased initially then declined to an overall poor performance of 32.4% of
clinic visits. Investigation of this result revealed poor buy-in and a highly redundant process.
Conclusion: Deriving measures reflecting performance and quality of med rec from EHR data is feasible and sustainable
over the time periods necessary to demonstrate change. Concurrent, complementary measures may be used to support the
validity of summary measures.
Medication reconciliation (med rec) is the process of sys-tematically and comprehensively reviewing the
medications a patient is taking, to ensure that medications
added, changed, or discontinued are evaluated for poten-
tial safety concerns. One of the three current Joint
Commission National Patient Safety Goals (NPSGs) on med-
ication safety (Goal 3), concerns medication reconciliation,
which ambulatory care organizations have been expected to
perform since 2005. The current version of the goal
(NPSG.03.06.01), effective July 1, 2011, stipulates that am-
bulatory care organizations maintain and communicate
accurate patient medication information.1 One require-
ment is that the organization obtain the patient’s medication
information at the beginning of an episode of care, with the
information to be updated when the patient’s medications
change. Ideally, med rec should occur at each transition of
care or han.

Measuring Performance at Intuit A Value-Added Component in ERM Pr.docxalfredacavx97
Measuring Performance at Intuit: A Value-Added Component in ERM Programs
ABC Organization is looking to improve on their Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) program. A board member saw Intuit’s ERM Performance Measurement Model case study. As with any ERM program, Intuit’s program has continued to evolve since 2009.
Intuit’s ERM program began with the company's practice of risk management on an ad hoc basis. When a problem occurred, team were formed to address the issue. When it was over, it was back to business as usual. In the late 2000’s, Intuit’s ERM program focused on building a sustainable risk management capability. The program provided leadership with current and emerging risks to help them make strategic decisions. Intuit built the program using a ERM maturity model to get the right foundation. It was realized that executive leadership needed to measure the performance of the program. So key risk indicators (KRIs) were used to understand the potential emerging risks and any trends that may impact current risks. Also, key performance indicators (KPIs) can help in understanding and manage current risks. By identifying these KRIs and KPIs in the, the case study reader should gain an understanding of the importance of and the need to incorporate these indicators.
As risk manager, you are responsible for ensuring your organization minimizes its risks. Your board became aware of this case study and has asked you to create a presentation for the next board meeting where you will present information about this case study and the effects of implementing KPIs and KRIs at Intuit.
Create a PowerPoint® narration report of at least 20 slides based on your findings about this case study along with the message that is delivered based upon this case (not including the cover page and reference page). If you do not own a copy of Microsoft PowerPoint use a comparable slide software or Google Slides (free and accessible from Google.com). In the presentation, address the following from the Intuit ERM program:
· What represents the key performance indicators of the ERM program?
· What represents the key risk indicators of the ERM program?
· What improvements would you make?
· Does this represent an effective risk management program? If not, what is missing? (Support your response with details from the case study and properly cited references.)
· Would this program work for a publicly traded corporation of similar size?
· How important do you view alignment and accountability among a management team?
Make sure to provide a reference slide that provides APA citations of any sources used in the PowerPoint presentation. This slide does not require narration. Written Parameters/Expectations:
· At least 20 slides in length, with each slide having a written narration in Standard English explaining the key ideas in each slide.
· The written narrative presentation should have a highly developed and sustained viewpoint and purpose.
· The written communication.

In his iconic speech at the Lincoln Memorial for the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, King urged America to "make real the promises of democracy." King synthesized portions of his earlier speeches to capture both the necessity for change and the potential for hope in American society.
I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation. [applause]
Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves [Audience:] (Yeah) who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity. (Hmm)
But one hundred years later (All right), the Negro still is not free. (My Lord, Yeah) One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. (Hmm) One hundred years later (All right), the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later (My Lord) [applause], the Negro is still languished in the corners of American society and finds himself in exile in his own land. (Yes, yes) And so we’ve come here today to dramatize a shameful condition.
In a sense we’ve come to our nation’s capital to cash a check. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence (Yeah), they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men (My Lord), would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. (My Lord) Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check, a check which has come back marked insufficient funds. [enthusiastic applause] (My Lord, Lead on, Speech, speech)
But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. (My Lord) [laughter] (No, no) We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. (Sure enough) And so we’ve come to cash this check (Yes), a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom (Yes) and the security of justice. (Yes Lord) [enthusiastic applause]

CASE STUDY: PRIVACY
You are a reporter for WKRN-TV, covering local police activity as part of your beat. Your editor
tells you to get over to McGavock High School as quickly as possible. An anonymous caller,
saying she lives across the street from the public school, told a news editor she heard four or
five gunshots coming from the school building as she was outside walking her dog. Within
seconds, she says, students were running outside and screaming. A listen to the police band
receiver in the newsroom indicates something is up at the school.
You take a videographer and arrive on the scene about 1:30 p.m. Five or six Metro police cars
are parked near the school, and an ambulance arrives seconds later as you get out of your car.
The entrance to the school building is blocked off and police are guarding the area, admitting no
one except authorities into the building.
After questioning police, you confirm the fact there has been a shooting, but that’s as far as you
get. You begin asking bystanders for more information. A number of McGavock students have
remained at the scene. Several tell you a student was shot in a first-floor restroom. A girl who
claims to be a friend of the victim says his name is James DeVore, a freshman. She said she
thinks he is 14 years old. Another student says DeVore recently turned 15.
No one present knows who is responsible for the shooting. Minutes later police escort a young
man, handcuffed, from the school building. They place him in a squad car and drive away. You
ask people in the crowd if anyone can identify the alleged suspect. At least four tell you he is
Brian Samuels, a sophomore. You ask police at the scene to confirm this information, but no one
will reply.
Your videographer tells you she got footage of the boy being placed in the squad car. While
talking to her, you hear screams in the background. You run around the side of the building to
the loading dock area. Police have taped off the immediate area but you can see what’s going
on. EMTs are wheeling the covered body of the victim to an ambulance waiting near the dock.
Some students are crying. The videographer gets shots of the body being placed into the
ambulance and close-ups of crying students.
You approach several police officers standing near a squad car, hoping to get more facts. Inside
the squad car an officer is radioing into police headquarters. You hear him saying “the victim is
James DeVore, age 15.” The officer radios that the suspect, Samuels, has admitted to the
shooting. You also hear the following: “Samuels said it was it was payback, that DeVore had
sexually assaulted Samuels’ 6-year-old sister.” Because you are under deadline, you decide not
to interview the officers personally and head back to the station.
When you get back to the station, a colleague tells you he covered a story two years ago on
another in.

4. A VIEW OF DIVERSITY ON TELEVISION 2
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to explore the thoughts and
experiences of a person from a different
culture than the author, to expand the author’s global
perspective, and to understand how those
views shape individual perspectives. NiceGirlsTV.com blogger
Lisa Harrison participated in a
personal interview with the author. Harrison is a multiracial
woman who identifies as Black,
Native American, and White. Harrison asserted that the
#OscarsSoWhite viral campaign raised
diversity awareness in the television and film industry, that
African Americans and Asian
Americans have lacked adequate representation on television,
and that she has faced skin tone
bias as an obstacle in the television industry. Harrison also
expressed that diversity in the
television industry can help television networks come up with
unique ideas to tell new stories,
help avoid only giving the white perspective on television, and
help benefit children by teaching
5. them about other cultures. The author of this paper is a
television producer, and this research has
helped broaden the author’s perspective and increase cultural
awareness to create more diverse
television programs.
Keywords: Oscars, colorism, default whiteness
A VIEW OF DIVERSITY ON TELEVISION 3
Introduction
Every person is unique with different ideas and cultural views
of the world. The
definition of diversity is the degree to which individuals are
different from, or similar to, one
another (Robbins & Judge, 2017). Researcher Bucher (2015)
found that the ability to
communicate and collaborate with all kinds of people is an asset
6. for any employee. As a
television producer, the author of this research paper is
committed to diversity in the workplace,
and therefore wants to know how a blogger feels the television
industry represents African
Americans and whether diversity in television has improved
over the years. The author chose to
interview NiceGirlsTV.com blogger Lisa Harrison who calls
herself racially ambiguous as she
identifies her race as Black, Native American, and White.
Harrison discussed her thoughts about
whether the television and film industry had changed since the
#OscarsSoWhite viral campaign,
what obstacles she has had to overcome in the television
industry, and which cultural groups lack
adequate representation on television. Harrison also gave her
thoughts on how diversity on
television can benefit television networks, different cultures,
and children. By expanding
diversity consciousness, that author of this research paper can
become more of an asset to a
company and create more diverse television programs.
The Oscars
7. In 2015, the hashtag #OscarsSoWhite became a trending topic
on Twitter when the Oscar
nominees announced by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts
and Sciences lacked racial
diversity. People on social media observed that an
overwhelming majority of the nominees were
white that year. The #OscarsSoWhite social media campaign
resurfaced one year later when
again many of the nominations did not include nonwhite actors
(Griggs, 2016). Many people
were upset over the lack of diversity, and some members of the
Academy threatened to boycott
A VIEW OF DIVERSITY ON TELEVISION 4
the ceremony if changes were not made. NiceGirlsTV.com
blogger Lisa Harrison said, “I think
the #OscarsSoWhite campaign was a huge eye-opener to the
Academy as well as the industry in
general… it made the Academy look within themselves”
(personal interview, March 26, 2019).
Before the #OscarsSoWhite social media campaign, the Oscar
nominees and the Academy’s
membership lacked diversity. However, after the social media
8. campaign, the Academy
acknowledged the inequalities and announced steps to diversify
with a goal to double the number
of diverse members by 2020 (Rottenberg, 2016). Harrison
believed the #OscarsSoWhite
campaign was a positive step, and that:
“This was a wakeup call the Academy needed, and it made
everyone else follow
suit. Television shows are more diverse now. There are more
women directors on
television. There are more black female directors on television.
I see more people
represented across the board, not just African Americans.
(personal interview, March 26,
2019)”
By the 2019 Oscars, there was a change in the level of the
playing field, and the ceremony had
the second-most black nominees in Oscar history (Atkison,
2019). The #OscarsSoWhite
campaign helped raise the Academy’s diversity awareness and
helped increase diversity in the
television and film industry.
Adequate Representation
9. The U.S. Census estimated in 2018 that Whites made up
approximately 60 percent of the
population, followed by 18 percent Hispanic or Latino, 13
percent Black or African American,
and five percent Asian (U.S. Bureau of the Census, 2018). The
television industry has taken into
account the diversity of the U.S. population and added more
television networks to meet the
demands from the diverse cultural groups. In the 1980s, BET
(Black Entertainment Television)
A VIEW OF DIVERSITY ON TELEVISION 5
was the only television network that targeted African American
audiences, but today that list
includes OWN: The Oprah Winfrey Network, Bounce TV, TV
One, and others. Harrison noted,
“We've come a long way because of channels like BET and TV
One. There are more choices for
different types of shows for African Americans to see
themselves represented now than we ever
have had in the past” (personal interview, March 26, 2019).
While there are more television
10. networks aimed at African Americans, adequate representation
of this cultural group is still
underserved. A study by the Institute for Diversity and
Empowerment at Annenberg (IDEA)
found “quantified disturbing patterns around the lack of media
representation concerning females
and people of color” (Smith, Choueiti, & Pieper, 2016).
Harrison agreed that African Americans
need more representation on television programs but suggested
there is also a lack of
representation among another demographic as well. “I feel there
is a big lack of representation of
Asians on television” (personal interview, March 26, 2019).
Harrison said most families do not
live in culturally diverse areas, but by seeing diversity on
television, that includes Asian
Americans, they “can see these people, they can learn about
these people, and they can see that
other cultures and other races are just like them” (personal
interview, March 26, 2019). The U.S.
population is a diverse mixture of many races, and a television
producer that can advocate for
underserved cultural groups would be able to create more
diverse programs.
11. Colorism
Adequate representation of the U.S. population also includes
representing the diversity
within a cultural group. Among African Americans and Asian
Americans, there are an array of
different skin tones, often creating skin tone bias within the
race. Uzogara and Jackson (2016)
called this bias colorism where an individual faced prejudice
based on the lightness or darkness
of their skin tone. Harrison stated that “within each culture,
we’re not all the same. We don’t all
A VIEW OF DIVERSITY ON TELEVISION 6
look the same” (personal interview, March 26, 2019). Lupita
Nyong’o is an Oscar-winning
Actress known for her darker-skin tone for which she faced
colorism in Hollywood when casting
agencies would favor black actresses with lighter skin
complexions than hers (Wellington, 2014).
Harrison faced skin tone prejudices as well, but on the other end
of the skin tone spectrum. The
NiceGirlsTV.com blogger is a lighter skinned African American
woman and said that she
12. experienced discrimination when a company planned to hire one
African American female but
went with an obviously darker African American because the
other woman looked more African
American than Harrison (personal interview, March 26, 2019).
Harrison expressed that blatant
and subtle forms of discrimination like colorism are very
personal and emotional for her. “For
someone to tell me, I’m not black enough that really hurt me,
that really cut deep” (personal
interview, March 26, 2019). Skin complexion judgments about a
person can create prejudice in
the workplace, and a diversity consciousness television
producer needs to handle this bias by
being aware of how to identify and keep colorism out of
television programs.
Diversity Benefits
Diversity ranges from the visible to the non-visible differences
between people, and a
diverse workforce is vital for any organization to succeed in an
ever-changing market. Robbins
and Judge (2017) found that productivity and profitability
increased in more diverse
13. organizations. Research also indicated that companies that lack
diverse representation among
their employees end up with a smaller pool of ideas and
experiences (Solanki & Saxena, 2017).
Harrison asserted that “by having diverse crews, writers,
directors, editors it gives the
opportunity to tell new stories. And it gives different
perspectives on whatever the topic may be”
(personal interview, March 26, 2019). One benefit for diversity
on television is that television
networks could appeal to more diverse audiences. Smith,
Choueiti, and Pieper (2016) found a
A VIEW OF DIVERSITY ON TELEVISION 7
vast underrepresentation of racial and ethnic minority groups on
television and that this has led
to these groups being excluded or erased from storytelling.
Harrison suggested that by having
more people of color on television viewers “can see these
people, they can learn about these
people and they can see that they are just like them” (personal
interview, March 26, 2019). A
second benefit for diversity on television is the ability to avoid
14. what Bucher (2015) called default
whiteness where there is a tendency to view the behavior, value,
and perspectives of white
people as the norm for all people. Harrison said that she
observed default whiteness on
television stating that:
“If you're looking at tv and you're only seeing a Caucasian
family, any non-Caucasian
might think that that's better or right. And the Caucasian people
watching it only seeing
themselves they might think that they are better, they are right,
and they might not be
open to other cultures and other races. (personal interview,
March 26, 2019)”
The third benefit for diversity on television is that children can
watch these diverse programs and
learn from them. Ellithorpe and Bleakley (2016) found that “the
characters that adolescents
watch is important not only for identity processes but also for
models for behavior” (p. 1427).
Harrison believed that “seeing people from different cultures is
a great learning experience …for
kids [to learn] about other cultures and other races” (personal
interview, March 26, 2019).
15. Therefore, diversity on television would be an effective strategy
to benefit television networks,
people from different cultures, and children that grow up
watching these programs.
Conclusion
Bucher (2015) called the lack of cultural diversity awareness a
liability and found that
despite its importance, people rarely engage in difficult
dialogue about diversity issues. The
author of this paper chose to engage in the difficult dialogue
surrounding diversity to enhance
A VIEW OF DIVERSITY ON TELEVISION 8
and expand knowledge about other cultures. The author
interviewed NiceGirlsTV.com blogger
Lisa Harrison to provide insight into how a multiracial
individual felt toward diversity on
television. Harrison described the challenges she saw that led to
the #OscarsSoWhite viral
campaign and how she felt African Americans and Asian
Americans needed adequate
representation on television. Harrison also explained how
16. colorism and default whiteness shaped
her perspective. Lastly, Harrison expressed that television can
give more people more access to
other cultures which can benefit television networks, different
cultures, and children. She
optimistically stated that “the way television is now and where
we're going with television with
the different platforms…. lets people know they're not alone. It
will only make it better because
there's still so many stories that need to be told” (personal
interview, March 26, 2019). This
interview process has made the author of this paper aware of
colorism, default whiteness, and the
lack of representation on television of several cultural groups.
The author is also now more
knowledgeable of how intended, and unintended behaviors
impact others as well as how to
increase equality as a television producer.

Interview questions on the topic of homosexuality
1. This interview aims to determine the perceptions and
opinions that the lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgender
individuals have. Do you identify yourself as either gay,
lesbian, bisexual or a transgender?
2. Many studies have been conducted aiming at determining the
main causes of sexual attraction among people of the same
gender. However, there are still some causes which researchers
have come up with as evidence showing that molestation is a
major cause of increase in homosexuality in America (Gilman,
22. 2018). What do you believe are the major causes of people
struggling with same-sex attraction?
3. Studies on the development of homosexuality behaviours
have indicated varying results with some indicating that it is a
process while others show that it is instantaneous. How would
you describe the change from homosexuality always
instantaneous or is it a process?
4. The increase in infidelity among married people has
contributed to increased transmission of diseases among the
married partners. Based on the statistics of the transmission rate
among homosexuals, the results show that there are high rates
of unfaithfulness among homosexual people (Clarke.et.al,
2018). What do you believe leads to increased unfaithfulness
among homosexual people?
5. The United States government have greatly embraced
homosexuality through developing laws which protect gay
people and authorize same sex marriage. Do you believe that
these laws have brought changes in the way homosexuality was
perceived before?
6. Many psychiatrists have experience near total failure in their
quest of transforming homosexual patients to heterosexual
patients, however recent studies have shown that only 27 % of
patients often change and become heterosexual (Stryker, 2016).
Do you think that a person can change their sexual orientation?
What causes people to change?
