In Gundemir&#8217;s article focusing on ethnic and racial diversity, it is argued that the increase of ethnic minorities in places of leadership in the workplace not only indicates a progressive change in modern corporations, but in terms of the economic aspect, their inclusion is linked to a growth in creativity, an increase in quality decision making, as well as enhancing the company\u2019s performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I used the template of \u201cCommon sense seems to dictate\u201d to indicate the \u201cthey say\u201d portion, since the article used several sources to back the author\u2019s views and that only compounded the views on diversity in the workplace that we have today in society.

My reasoning for this belief is based on commercial competition, and if the leadership of major corporations are unwilling to even experiment with the idea of hiring neurodiverse individuals with extraordinary gifts because of a traditional sense of conformation, rival companies will exploit that and pursue this reformed approach, which will lead to their companies outpacing the conservative mindset of the former company. These articles, and more specifically the article by Gundemir et al, are similar to the \u201cWhy Diversity Matters\u201d reading from the previous week, and I believe that articles with more examples of success with employment diversity will help a lot. Personally, I think that my experience studying in Syracuse allowed me to understand the value of diversity within the workspace, especially since my program included students from countries from Asia to the Americas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Response #1 Common sense seems to dictate that a fair and equal society will have all parts of society represented in the workplace, but that is not the case in reality.
