  1. As Wong enters the conversation around diversity and inclusion she adds a few unique points. One specific point she includes is the difference between equity and equality. You can see her discussing equity vs equality in many sections throughout the text, it is most prevalent in the section titled\u00a0<\/span>Equity vs. Equality.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/strong>The discussion of diversity and inclusion often mentions equality and why we need it but Wong\u2019s addition of Equity helps point in the direction of how we do it. A significant part of that section explains what equity is \u201cRecognizing that certain groups of people have experienced (and continue to experience) disproportionate hardship, harm and disadvantage highlights\u201d. This is significant because it shows that to achieve equality we must recognize the differences and not assume that everyone has the same experience. Later on in the text in the\u00a0<\/span>Supporting Others to Make Change<\/span><\/strong>, equity and equality are mentioned again when mentioning key points that to improve we must \u201cfocus on equity rather than equality; acknowledge and affirm differences rather than ignore and deny them; and pay attention to how exclusionary practices show up at interpersonal and structural levels\u201d. That key point contributes to strategies of how to move forward in including and maintaining diverse environments by opening our minds, asking the right questions. seeing differences, and thinking more inclusively.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    2. \u00a0The way that Wong structures her writing, including headers with clear titles, help the reader map out what the overall message is. This keeps the text clear and concise rarely leaving the reader to wonder what does one statement has to do with the other. Another way Wong keeps everything related is through using certain connective sentence patterns, her transitions are seamlessly connecting her last sentence and her next sentence. For example, when starting a new paragraph Wong uses elaborative terms such as \u201cin contrast\u201d and \u201cRather than\u201d to introduce a new point in reference to her last.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
