Using the lens of diversity consciousness and sociocultural theory, we can come to
better realize the important relationships between thoughts and actions both in our
personal and professional lives. In actuality, there is a clear relationship between
diversity consciousness and success that can be unveiled through seeing such
relationships.
The presented scenarios provide an opportunity to assess how diversity skills, informed
by diversity consciousness and sociocultural theory, can best be applied to determine
the best course of actions.
Instructions:
Referring to the topics from this week’s content, select two of the following three
scenarios and prepare answers to questions #1-#3 related to each of them:
1. Case Study One: Ligua
o Question 1: If Ligua wants to be successful, does she have to buy into a work
culture that values independence and individual accomplishments? Explain
o Question 2: How could the work setting be changed to accommodate
individuals who may feel more comfortable in a group-oriented atmosphere?
o Question 3: What diversity skills might Ligua work on developing to help her
with these conflicts? Explain.

number of diversity skills. In this situation, which of Michael’s diversity skills
do you think will be the most critical? Why?
