Topic:Center for Academic Resources and Enrichment Services(CARES) at University of Kentucky, As I was going through their information page I spotted a picture that amused me. This picture can be found at http://www.uky.edu/Diversity/contacts.html. It doesn't give a photograph name or date because the site is updated daily.
Summary-Topic:Center for Academic Resources and Enrichment Services(CARES)The Center for Academic Resources and Enrichment Services is based on diversity. Diversity plays a big part in University of Kentucky it is Goal IV of University Strategic Plan: Promote Diversity and Inclusion. This picture shows what all come together to make diversity as one whole. The University of Kentucky wants all their student from all over to feel like family. Center for Academic Resources and Enrichment Services has some responsibility of making this university divers. They target people from all over the world who comes to University of Kentucky to join. They provide them with support systems to help them achieve their goals and to show others they help all. Gender, variety, religion, income, race, status,education,sexuality,unity is what diversity is about what the CARES program teaches and more. But as you can see their are a lot of things that make up diversity and people are the ones who make up diversity.
Question/Reflection-Topics:Center for Academic Resources and Enrichment Services(CARES)
Diversity means to me the world coming together as one because we are all so different but we still are one as a whole. I feel strongly on diversity because I feel as though it plays a big role in our world if you don't know how to adjust to different surrounding you will be stuck. Diversity comes into play with that because it shows you all what is out here in the world the people, places, things, and personalities. I do have a few questions about this picture. Why is Income on there? I feel like Income is separating you from others. Why should people need to know your income? Why should yo come together on your income? I would feel like a outcast because it is offensive to me because I shouldnt have to come together with others because of income that I feel is private. I feel it is private because a lot of people judge you on what kind of money you have.
Well that is all for tonight/today I hope you enjoyed but it will also be great if I you can inform me on how I did thanks......
Karess, you do a nice job in your blog posts summarizing the sources you found. I'm glad you are researching a topic that you are personally interested in and involved with. You ask a great question about income, and while many would agree with you that it is private, I think that CARES is probably emphasizing that there are people who are less privileged economically but should be equally included. All of the elements of diversity highlighted by this picture would be things to further explore. In your future blog posts, make sure to not only ask questions, but ask questions that can specifically help you find other research sources. You should also reflect on how a source could be used in a documentary. This source, an image, could be used as part of a photo montage in the section of your documentary where you talk about diversity at CARES. There are other ways you could use it as well.
