Key concepts

Task 1

The key concepts that apply to citizenship and diversity are as follows;

Integregation: is the whole community working together, living together, using the

same leisure facilities. For example, cinema and swmming pool facilities. As more

and more ethnic minority intergrate to the UK more of these people will want equal

access to leisure and a community that acceptes them for who they are.

Tolerance: Is to what extent a person will tolerate something. For example,

unacceptable behaviour. In the modern society Tolerance is part of everyday life as

todays society is diverse. For example, an Indian family move to England to start a

new life, many people will not tolerate this due to the current economic climate that

we are suffering. However, this family has certain beliefs that the local residents

must accept their difference and respect their way of life.

Multiculturalism: Is a range of cultures living together in one society. For example,

a common place where there are a range of cultures living together is in Birmingham

and Bradford. Multiculturalism takes place all over the world and this concept that

links nicely back to Tolerance, as local residents will have to accept how the world is

changing however Britain has always been multicultural.

Rights and Responsibilities of individuals: This concept describes what is

considered traditional in society, e.g. celebration event or an annual competition

amongst the community. For example, at Christmas many communities have a light

decoration competition which is beneficial for the owner of that property but also for

the rest of the community.

Equal opportunities and positive action on greater inclusion: Everybody in the

modern society should have access to opportunities that can benefit themselves and

others which results in a positive action within the society. For example, a minority

group of people have planned and built a community / sports centre to benefit the

people of their town of all Ethnic, Disability, Gender and Age groups; these are

minority groups that can all work to together to make a difference.

Corporate social responsibility: This conceptdescribes how each individual

person has the responsibility to act in a social group to progress in a positive manner

to benefit themselves and others in that society. Also corporate means business, so

this refers to team work in the workplace. The employer must adopt this concept to

ensure their employees are taking on responsibilities and looking after their well

being. For example, a Squad of army personnel have just finished a tour in

Afghanistan, these personnel will need a few weeks to wind down, so they will take

part in adventure training to help them relax from the pressures of being on the front

line.
