Blog Post 6: Diversity

Talk about what diversity means to you. And explain how valuing and championing diversity will help you in your career.

Post the diversity statements from 5 companies or organizations in your field of interest, comment how they are similar and/or different. How do each of these fit with your own diversity values?
--Diversity, to me, means differences. These differences can vary from race to views on different issues. No two individuals are completely identical down to the core. Diversity will help in my career because not everyone will have the same viewpoints within the medical community. My hopes are to work as a pharmacist or work in pharmaceutical and medical sales. These fields can be controversial for many reasons. One major issue within the medical field is on stem cell research and if we should be tampering with the natural order of things.

They are all saying about how they are an equal opportunity employer/equal treatment facility. They all fit my idea of diversity values.
