Diversity Event

Case for Diversity

I attended the diversity lecture A Business Case for Diversity. It was the worst lecture that I have ever had to sit through….it even beat calculus and chemistry hands down! The demonstration was completely a snooze. I honestly only learned one thing from the lecture…that society works best if there is a diversity. In the presentation they had a slide dying that if you have a group of six really super smart braincase they will not work as good together to solve a problem compared to a group of six individuals with all different intelligent levels.

I believe the reason that this lecture was so boring was that the business man who was teaching it was using mathematical equations such as relating the Fibonacci sequence (0,1,1,2,3,5,8,…..) to how we learn and how we are diverse. Us, as students cannot possibly comprehend the relation of these mathematical equations if we haven’t had some kind of Calculus background.

This lecture was not anything that I would have expected. I thought that it was going to be about welcoming all the students of different diversities together, and how that can improve the business aspect of Iowa State University. I was sadly mistaken and it was ten times worse than what I had originally thought. Overall I learned almost nothing from this presentation and would never recommend anyone going to it ever!
