Abstract
The paper observes the characteristics of adolescents and how their cognitions and behaviors contribute to their peer group formation and social development. These observations support the group formation concepts of social psychology. The paper bases its findings on five studies that look at the process of socialization in youth and have identified techniques and patterns utilized.
From the Paper
"Social psychology by definition is the study of groups, and group formation is never more obvious or influential than in the stages of adolescence. Adolescents employ a variety of techniques, including self-serving bias and attributions, in the formation of their peer groups and in their socialization. While research directly examining these particular techniques in adolescence is somewhat rare, many researchers have studied general ways in which youth socialize. Five articles related to this topic have been reviewed, each dealing with characteristics of adolescents and how their cognitions and behaviors contribute to their peer group formation and social development."

Abstract
This paper defines the terms race, ethnicity and diversity and applies them to racial hatred in America. The paper refers to the movie, "American History X", Malcolm X, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., the Declaration on Independence, and the Brown vs. Board of Education on Topeka case. The paper talks about how people learn to hate and why people who have racial hatred are flawed in their reasoning for it. It explores why we would should not hate, especially in a place like America and how it goes against all the values Americans hold dear. This paper also addresses the issue of terrorism.
From the Paper
"In American History X, Derek Vinyard was overwhelmed with hatred against all people of another race or ethnicity. He had a hatred against any expression of diversity. Race and ethnicity are simply words used to describe characteristics of people, and diversity is the word used to talk about the differences in these characteristics. Race, ethnicity, and diversity are just words and descriptions; they do not express the character of a person which it what really matters. Race is drawn essentially among color lines and color does not say much about a person. Race concerns the differing physical characteristics between people whose ancestors stem from different geographical origins. The three main races of the world are the Caucasian who are originally European and have white skin, the Negroid race, which originated in Africa and have black skin, and the Mongoloid race that has skin that falls somewhere between black and white. Race can also describe differences in facial features, body size, limb proportion, skull measurements, and hair color."

Ethnic Diversity, 2003.

Abstract
This paper discusses the important differences in social customs between former communist countries and the U.S., that impact on immigration as well as immigrants. The writer of this paper contends and explains that although many nationalities have established support systems already in place, many support networks geared towards elderly immigrants continue to remain weak. This paper discusses the many challenges faced by elderly immigrants to America. This paper shows why younger immigrants have a distinct advantage over their elderly counterparts, in terms of coping ability and a diminished need for a support system. In this regard, elderly immigrants from the formerly communist nations of Eastern Europe in general and the Czech Republic, in particular, are faced with various profound changes in their lives upon their arrival in America, which are discussed in this paper.
From the Paper
"While many nationalities have such established support systems already in place, many such immigrant support networks remain weak today. Furthermore, these elderly citizens will likely be accustomed to a level of respect and honor that may be missing from the cultural setting upon their arrival in the United States, further contributing to the potential for "culture shock." According to Haskins, culture shock is "a feeling of impotence that results from the inability to deal with the environment because of unfamiliarity with cognitive aspects and role-playing skills; we usually think of culture shock when we imagine immigrant groups visiting or moving to a new country." There are opportunities for culture shock across all measures for new immigrant, many of them unperceived and unexpected from the host nation's perspective."

Abstract
This paper examines how, in today?s America, it seems that more and more young people growing up in major cities are subjected to poor socioeconomic conditions, which lead to an increased likelihood for violence and life disruption. It explores community organizations that have focused their efforts on improving the conditions prevalent among urban youth and proposes that, through increased mentoring programs to both youths and adults in family environments, the incidence of failure and violence among children growing up in big cities might be reduced.

From the Paper
"Children are abused in the environments, often prevalent in big cities where minority students are forced to endure poor teaching conditions. The author noticed that there are too many problem children in such environments. Author points out that ?the problems facing the inner city go much deeper than initiative that government is currently addressing.? Author notes that children are not dumb, but rather smart and curious. However they are not able to learn the skills necessary to persevere and concentrate in structured school environments b/c their school environments don?t foster a curricula targeted toward culturally divers students. As a result, students ?confidence and then their performance suffers.? "

From the Paper
"In a qualitative research study, Amaro, Abriam-Yago and Yoder, examine several major issues concerning nursing education in the current environment. Their study, entitled "Perceived
Barriers for Ethnically Diverse Students in Nursing Programs", addresses several important aspects of nursing education that are largely overlooked by administrators and professionals in the field. These issues, as they relate to ethnic minority presence among nursing staff, are: increasing healthcare costs, tax revenue concerns, general shortage of nursing professionals, and an imbalance of ethnic nurses in comparison to ethnic patients (Amaro, Abriam-Yago & Yoder, 2006). These and other researchers feel that, in addition to the overall shortage of nursing staff of any demographic make-up, a worsening trend of loss of ethnic minorities among existing and future nursing staff is unsustainable in the mid to long-term."

Abstract
This paper discusses various forms of diversity in the workplace. It also looks at the impact of these forms of diversity on how an organization functions. The paper discusses the legal requirements by state and federal government and their mandate that all organizations have sufficient elements of diversity with respect to race, gender, age and ethnic backgrounds.
Table of Contents:
Age Diversity in Organizations
Sexual Orientation and its Impact on Diversity
Religious Diversity
Geographical Differences
From the Paper
"The origins of the individual also determine the range and extent of exposure to life that might be faced. Inner cities with their high crime rates, lower quality of life and sub standard infrastructure of education might bias and influence the individual. Suburban life associated with a higher standard of living and lower crime rate might make the inner city appear dangerous and violent. In addition, the impressions and ideas obtained from media could influence the though process more than the actual facts that exist in inner cities. Geographical differences could also attract worker to select different opportunities. Urban dwellers more comfortable with the opportunities and the access to a wide variety of social and communal living might be less willing to move to rural location. Urban dwellers could also be biased against what they feel are opinions and values by which rural population live by."

Abstract
This paper discusses management and training of a diverse workforce--a true need of today when the American workforce is becoming increasingly diverse. The best practices model applied by teachers in the diverse classroom would be a good framework for organizations to work in. For affirmative action that forces the acceptance of diversity must be put in practice to avoid difficult circumstances.

Abstract
This paper gives a brief history of immigration to the U.S. and discusses whether ?religious pluralism?, a term used by Diana Eck in her book to describe America?s ?melting pot? of various Western and Eastern religions, serves as a unifying factor to the Americans (native peoples or immigrants) or not, especially in the light of the events of September 11, 2001.
From the Paper
"In the first chapter of her book, Eck provides a brief summary of the historical background of the new surge of immigrants, and thus, the new surge of different Western and Eastern religions in the US. She further tells her readers that this surge of new immigrants, and the increased diversity of the religious and cultural traditions of America, started when the US government encouraged immigration of people from all over the world into the United States, as mandated by the new 1965 Immigration Act. This act paved the way for Asian, Arabs, and other nationalities in Eastern and Pacific Island nations to take part into the country?s opportunities as the ?land of the free.? "

Youth Culture v. Youth Market, 2005.
An analysis of the youth culture versus the youth market in the music and clothing industries.

Abstract
This paper discusses the youth market and the youth culture as a separate entity within the overall demographic of the U.S. The paper pays particular attention to the integration of the music and clothing industry and who these industries have become associated in the minds of the youth as being consistent with their culture and self expression.
From the Paper
" Youth Culture v. Youth Market The concept of youth culture as a separate entity within the broader demographic of the U.S. population is tenuous at best because it shifts constantly from one point to another. At times various groups co-opt what they perceive to be youth culture for their own unique and idiosyncratic purposes: "Through magazines, music, sit-com style videos, cartoons, and other media, Focus strives to construct an alternative Christian youth culture that mirrors secular culture's style and consumption habits" (Hendershot, 1995, para.5). Just as likely is the current trend in Hip-Hop to turn its primary audience; a grand collage of youth from across the various demographics making up the U.S. population, into one conceptual body comprising a unique youth culture all its own (Taylor & Taylor, 2004)."

Abstract
The paper discusses diversity in learning styles, gender differences, ethnicity and social class and students with disabilities. The paper focuses on five aspects of ethnicity that are potential sources of student-student and student-teacher misunderstandings: verbal communication, nonverbal communication, time orientation, social values and instructional formats and learning processes. The paper emphasizes how teachers must create instructional opportunities that are adapted to fit the needs of all the students in the classroom.
From the Paper
"A learning style can be defined as a consistent preference over time and subject matter for perceiving, thinking about, and organizing information in a particular way. As stated in Temple University's Performance standards for Teachers, "Teaching that facilitates active learning is characterized by competence in involving students in lessons by providing a non threatening environment which allows them to ask questions, seek solutions, share thinking about a theme or topic, and respond to other's viewpoints." "Standards IV: Diversity." [NBPTS Career and Technical Education Standards.]"
"Some students, for example, prefer to think about the nature of the task, collect relevant information, and formulate a detailed plan before taking action, while others prefer to run with the first idea they have and see where it leads. Some students prefer to work on several aspects of a task simultaneously, while others prefer to work on one aspect at a time in a logical sequence."

The Proportionality Principle of Attribution, 2002.
Looking at an experiment performed involving the effects of personality characteristics on the proportionality principle of attribution and how the explanation for an event is proportional to the magnitude of the outcome of the event.

Abstract
This paper describes a study which investigated attribution, specifically the proportionality principle, in 185 undergraduate students. Participants were divided into several conditions and completed questionnaires that tested; that the outcome of a scenario was appropriately rated, that the magnitude of the outcome determined the likelihood to which the cause of the event was attributed to predictable or unpredictable causes, and the extent to which personality characteristics (belief in a just world and locus of control) affected behaviour in accordance to the proportionality principle. It was hypothesized that the level of the two personality characteristics being tested would have a significant effect on behaviour, that the scenarios and magnitudes were designed appropriately, and that the magnitude of the outcome predicted how the participants would explain the event. It was found that the magnitudes of the outcomes supported our hypothesis and were successfully manipulated but that personality characteristics did not have as much of an effect on ratings as was originally proposed. These results were attributed to participants? level of cognitive satisfaction as well as typical human tendencies in logic and reasoning.
From the Paper
"Social psychologists are largely interested in how humans explain the causation of a behaviour or an event. Making a judgement on behaviour is essentially making a claim as to the causation of the behaviour and this is commonly known as making an attribution. Heider (1958), who was the first to officially propose the idea of a person bias, suggested that humans attribute most behaviour to personality rather than to situational causes. The person bias, now known as the fundamental attribution error, is both a useful and harmful characteristic of humans; it allows for easy formation of a mental model of an individual?s personality to occur. Often, however, during the formation of this model, situational causes are ignored, and negative characteristics are attributed wrongfully to an individual?s personality when in fact, the exhibited behaviour was more a product of the environmental circumstances. A more recent, and less researched proposal involving attribution is the proportionality principle. This suggests that humans have the tendency to seek explanations for behaviour or events that are equal in magnitude to the outcome of the event, even if this is not the most logical explanation. For example, McCauley and Jacques (1979) found that important events with drastic outcomes, such as presidential assassinations are attributed for causes equally as important or drastic."
