Expanding Diversity
In reading the assigned articles this week, I came to an interesting conclusion, While we as a nation seem to have a small idea what diversity is, it is clearly rather narrow. Every day it seems there is a minority group making noise about the latest injustices done to their people. What about those not so well heard? Perhaps people with disabilities should be included more in discussions about diversity, perhaps companies should take more interest in hiring people of Arab descent, with the recent history of US-Middle East tension. Perhaps there should be a forum on radio or TV for senior citizens to be heard and widely at that. The major hurdle is, finding a way to get the message out there. The best way that I can see, is to be loud about it, the more forums you voice your opinions on the more you shall be heard. Thus, while diversity is important individually and in small groups, it is equally as important to remain diverse in the forums you choose, if the message is globally important, perhaps one could go on internationally known websites, and internationally known websites to promote their message

Yes! The web is great at forming communities with narrow interests but is bad at bringing those interests to the larger community (the traditional role of the mass media).
