Identifying Microaggressions in Your Local Area

A member of the racial, ethnic, or cultural population group you selected in Unit 4 discussion is relocating to your local community. Consider the experiences of your selected racial, ethnic, or cultural identity population with living in your community:

• Explore the community and find all of the everyday resources needed for this racial, ethnic, or cultural population group to make a life in your community. (For example, grocery store, doctor, place of worship, gym, library, barber, hair stylist, shopping mall, school, social club, and a newspaper that reflects the racial, ethnic, or cultural group’s point of view and interests.)
• Describe the demographics of your community. Include information on the selected racial, ethnic, or cultural group’s percentage within the community.
• Visit your local grocery store, pharmacy, and shopping mall. Are there products, goods, and services that readily address your racial, ethnic, or cultural group’s sensibilities?
• Is this racial, ethnic, or cultural group represented in the pictorial images found in stores, billboards, and local publications? If so, do the images represent intragroup diversity (age, gender, socioeconomic status, et cetera)?
• Is this racial, ethnic, or cultural group represented in the local professional community (doctor, dentist, lawyer, judge, accountant, teacher, et cetera)?
• Is this racial, ethnic, or cultural group represented in the local business community as business owners?
• Is this racial, ethnic, or cultural group represented in the local government (city council, mayor, et cetera)? If so, does the percentage of government representation match the percentage of the population?
• If your racial, ethnic, or cultural group visited the public library, would they find a robust collection of titles dedicated to the interests of the racial, ethnic, or cultural group or written by members of this racial, ethnic, or cultural group?

Discuss your findings for your community observation. Compare and contrast your findings for your community observation with the discussions in the Sue text (2010), Chapters 7, 8, and 9.

Job Analysis and Competency Modeling

Primary Task Response: Within the Discussion Board area, write 350–500 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. Be substantive and clear and use examples to reinforce your ideas.

Steven Sample states “One must always keep in mind that leadership is an art, not a science. Effective management may be a science…but effective leadership is purely an art” (Sample, 2003).

Discuss the following:

• Develop your interpretation of this quote. 
• Defend or  justify your agreement or disagreement with Sample.

In addition to addressing all requirements of the assignments, model answer includes the following:

• In chapter 1, Sample describes effective leadership as thinking “gray” not being confined to one way of thinking (Sample, 2003).  Think about the leadership traits that may justify and / or  challenge the statement
• The agreement to this statement may vary.
• Is being visionary a science or an art?
• Properly cite required reading material.

Professor Response. Reflecting on your statement “Thinking that is confined to one way is drastic to the organizational setting and individuals as it limits the potentials of the people in giving out their best for operational excellence”, I ask: Is there a specific example to illustrate the point that you are making 

Details will be provided in chat.
