Me: Salutation (good morning).
Me: Today, I am going to give you an account of a cultural event that I attended and the lessons that I drew from it.
Me: I attended a sexual orientation cultural event that specifically talked about the problems that the LGBT face in the US, ranging from sociological to political.
Me: This event was quite impactful to my life as it helped reinforce my positive and tolerant attitude to members of the LGBT community. I also understood there is a dire need for individuals to take positive measures in ensuring that stereotypes about sexuality are eliminated from our society, schools, and workplaces.
Me: From the discussion and different presentations, three basic aspects manifested themselves. These were the three basic sociology perspectives (i.e., the symbolic interactionist perspective, functionalist perspective, and conflict perspective) and how they are related to the LGBT community.
Me: The moderator of the event used examples such as the burning down of LGBT flags by people as a sign of intolerance to illustrate the symbolic interactionism perspective. The functionalist perspective was equated to the fact that LGBT community faces a lot of backlash and stereotypes in their workplaces and other functional aspects of the society and the conflict perspective shows how people are struggling to conform with many social changes, especially those that regard to sexuality.
Me: Engaging with diversity in practice is essential as it elevates productivity at the workplace, attracts and retains talent, and aids in building teams’ synergy and improving communication skills.

Me: The main challenges facing the discourse about diversity are generational gaps and multiculturalism, as explained in the PowerPoint presentation.
Me: And to address these challenges, one has to show a personal commitment to accepting cultural diversity and others will mirror your understanding about the LGBT community. Educating the masses through events like the one I attended is also quite informative.
Me: One positive was that the world is becoming more tolerant of cultural diversity. The negative is that there are many LGBT suicide victims, who commit this act because they feel judged by their people, relatives, and society as a whole.
Me: One measure to address this negative is that educating the people on the importance of being accommodating to people irrespective of their cultural background.
Me: Advocation for social, economic, and environmental justice will involve five critical stages namely, engagement, assessment, planning, implementation, and evaluation of any campaign.
