Excerpt from Lesson:

Diversity issues in the workplace are really separate from cross-cultural issues despite the obvious areas of overlap. Diversity is closely allied to a nation’s social policies of equal rights and inclusion while cross-cultural issues are aligned more with international business. However, the two fields rely on very similar analyses of how a group’s values influence behavior.

The diversity agenda arose out of civil rights’ movements, the increasing multi-racialism of many western societies, and the demands of traditionally under-privileged groups for an equal stake in the society’s structures and organizations. Fifty years ago, the key areas of government, administration, law, education and business were dominated by a group that was typically white, male, middle-aged, well educated, and relatively wealthy. Today, many nations are adopting and attempting to implement policies that ensure all groups in the society have an equal opportunity to fulfill their potential as they choose, rather than simply to slot into stereotyped roles.
