Let’s Talk Diversity and Inclusion | Courtney Tritch | TEDxFortWayne
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 лип 2015
- The national dialogue is brimming with polarizing, barbed comments about diversity. How is that conversation playing out here in Northeast Indiana and why should you care? In an increasingly diverse and connected world, our economic survival may very well depend on our willingness to step outside our comfort zone and have a conversation about just who is welcome in our region. Are you ready to talk?
Courtney Tritch currently serves as the VP of Marketing at the Northeast Indiana Regional Partnership
and has a shared love for community and positive change. Through her work at the Regional
Partnership, she has led nationally-recognized marketing campaigns and, most recently, she
spearheaded the Our Story Project to discover the region’s authentic and compelling story to market to
the world. With 15 years of brand building experience and her empathy for the underdog, she
constantly challenges herself and her community to be better than we are today.
She is an ATHENA Award nominee; a recipient of Business Weekly’s “40 Under 40” Award; and she won
Best in Show for her original, one woman show “The Identity Itch” performed at Fort Wayne Fringe Fest.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx
Equality of opportunity (good) or outcome (bad)
Diversity in charateristics (good) or group identities (bad)
Inclusion of quality no matter who you are (good) or by percentage (bad)
anybody else think that Japan, Nigeria, Israel, Detroit, China and Somalia need some more diversity and to be more inclusive? No? strange...
Well, I do believe that they should be accepting of foreigners/immigrants.
Lol Nigeria has a big Chinese population
Somalia people are mixed. Detroit has some diversity but no one wants to live there anymore.
Why would white first world citizens want to live in third world developing countries?
This was very educational, thank you
2020 and still, "I can't breathe"
I see the word diversity as a new type of cognition. We need to think in a diversity way.
There is no use for us to accept diversity as a moral value, for example: let's accept homosexuals, African descendents, people living with disabilities just because they are minority and need our moral, legal, social support.
Diversity means considering several possibilities or hypothesis at the same time, but the problem is that we choose one and exclude all the others.
What I believe as diversity is that it would be the end of linear discusion, this means cognition (the action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding through thought, experience, and the senses). This makes us think of everything at the same time, the question is not whether I am for or against something, I accept or do not accept that thing.
There is the fact, the reality, and I have to live with it. Society as a whole say that if you take one side, you must reject the other one. If you like something, you automatically dislike/reject the rest. We miss out a lot.
We are taught to believe in pair of choices - either you have this or that. Can't we simply embrace the reality, and stop segragating, separating, dividing.
Uuu
Wonderful
She's in it for the money, and a cushy career talking for pay and attending functions. She also mentions nothing about white flight, or Robert Putnam's book Bowling Alone.
Same old White Feather Campaign in a new bottle.
Wonderful thought every man should thought this to create better world
So, aside from the one benefit you mentioned northeast Indiana can hope to achieve through diversity (that being a competitive national community), what other innate benefits can we hope to reap by forcing ourselves to go out of our comfort zones?
Well, you reduce the risk of becoming a mass shooter. That's a common pathology as long as white people stay in their "comfort zones"
Great talk. We did some work recently for the Ada Developers Academy that focused on women in tech.
Moronic! I love the double standards you leftists have.
No reply. You guys sure lack the guts for a debate.
The title, unfortunately, says it all...and more. "Let 's talk" ? No, you're talking. You're assuming we are listening. Why would we listen? Oh, because(you assume) you're right and we are wrong and need to be (re) educated. But what if we don't share your assumptions?
NAIL IT!
"Let's talk" or "let's have a discussion" always means "you listen to me pontificate and you have no right to dissent".
This comment made me chuckle. Two years later and all i can think is, "then scroll on".
I think some of the language we use is wrong. For example, instead of talking about Inclusion, we should be talking about Not Excluding ie making things equal. When we do that, Diversity is the outcome and not the goal. You can watch more videos about this on our channel.
Fantastic. Disregarding the political correctness part, I enjoy how you cherish inclusivity over diversity, a potentially solidified image of ego.
Diversity is overrated.
HIGHLY overrated. Diversity is code for exclusion of white males.
Race to the bottom and rejection of western civilization
@@LouisPaquette Keep crying pigskin
I can't....bye
Diversity has its downside. More heterogeneous communities are more distrustful of each other and less likely to pursue self-sacrifice for the good of the group. Naturally, humans are tribal species and pushing diversity to everyone is a sure way to stirring discord.
Only on paper, official diversity and inclusion, etc. And we keep talking with no active humane practicality, essentially. Nonsense.
Delusion.
Diversity is not just about race. This is a conflated load of the proverbial that ignores and hides the breadth of the term 'diversity'.
That’s my aunt
😅🤣😂
Well done presentation. We did similar work here 10 years ago and it is rewarding. Best of luck.
My God
Such an importat subject presented in such a confuse way
exactly
I'm biased toward white people talking about diversity. How do we know she is being authentic?
We sure have problems, but the Western World treats minorities better than any other civilization. The real problem is not being inclusive and charitable, I would even be willing to host some of these refugees in my house, but we're not talking about few desperate people, but millions and millions of people. The fact is that this radical demographic transformation will permanently change our Nations, from Europe to America. You might like that, but a lot of people would prefer their countries to remain predominantly German in the case of Germany. And there's absolutely nothing wrong with that, it's absolutely natural and healthy. But we are somehow forced to accept diversity and this multiculturalism dogma if we don't want to be branded as Nazi and Supremacist. That's absolutely insane, that's why strong words like racist have completely lost their meanings, and people are waking up to the Truth. The Truth is something irresistible and invincible, and unfortunately for you, the Truth is not on your side. And as George Orwell says, In times of universal deceit telling the Truth is the most revolutionary act.
From Europe to America, Nationalist parties are becoming the dominant political forces, and America is turning into Trump Country. Are these millions of voters marginalized bigoted racist? I don't think so, there might be few crazy maniacs, but they're mostly normal people who feel betrayed and want their Homeland back. And as I said before, it's something absolutely natural and healthy.
