give examples of diversity in Australia you can look up in the state level, school level or at class/ student levels 

Teacher comment:

Economic:

Please have another go with ‘economic’ – it has not been described or compared the diversities of ‘economics’. A stable family and performance in education does not connect to the question of ‘economical’ diversity. I suggest comparing the private and public schools, programs and funding available, low and high socio-economic areas.

Social/cultural

Please expand on bot examples – what is the diversity of different social and cultural groups. Monash university is not a relevant example – remember to link to the school environment for children. What cultural day is celebrated at schools? What are examples of different cultural celebrations and social groups?

Religious

Please expand with examples of the differences in the different religions. Remember you are focusing on the school environment of children, not the university of Tasmania. Including the Aboriginal spiritual view for diversity will be very useful too.

Ethnicity

Please expand with specific details. What is ethnicity?

Disability

Please expand discussing the diversity in disabilities and the support needs – for example, comparing the support needs of a student with ASD to a student who is hearing or visually impaired – the diversity will be great

Generation

Please expand – what is a generation? Please research the different generations for the last century, with years and names and show the diversity of skills for the different generations. Thank you.

Sexual orientation (including intersex/transgender)

Please research this some more. The website, “Beyond Blue”has a great section to assist with why we need to be aware and support students of different sexual orientation. Thank you

It is illegal to discriminate on the basis of age, race and sexual orientation. What does this mean?

answer

it is illegal to discriminate people on the basis of age, race, and sexual orientation. age discrimination involves bad treatment of an employee depending on his/her age. France discrimination is the discriminatory practices based on an individual race, skin colour, and ethnic background, race discrimination can be seen when a certain company does not employ individual of a different race other their own race. sexual discrimination is the discrimination on the basis of sexual identify for example not considering gays as community leaders.

Comment:

A good try but more research is needed here. Clear and specific example of discrimination, not ‘bad’ treatment, as ‘bad’ treatment may not be discrimination. Often companies will employ people of different races, colour, age, sexual orientation – but they can discriminate – this needs to be researched more and discussed in more detail.
