The Diversity Movement

The diversity movement suggests that there is strength in our  differences and that our differences enhance each other. At the same  time, the movement insists that our differences should not have  economic, social, or political consequences. We are entitled to the same  access to resources and opportunities regardless of our differences.  The human suffering from Hurricane Katrina and the images of victims has  stimulated the debate about differential access to resources.

Read the report Women in the Wake of the Storm: Examining the Post-Katrina Realities of the Women of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast. On the basis of your reading, create a report, answering the following:

  • Discuss the prominent dimensions of diversity revealed as a result of the Hurricane Katrina disaster.
  • Discuss factors that specifically influenced women’s vulnerability  to Hurricane Katrina. While answering, consider the primary dimensions  mentioned in the lectures as well as the secondary dimensions such as  parental and marital status, income, educational level, military  experience, geographic location, work background, and religious beliefs.
  • Describe the implications for healthcare organizations as a result of the disaster.
  • Discuss at least of two of the policy implications that are outlined  in the report. If you were given the task to add another policy  recommendation what would it be and why?
