1. Getting Started
Diversity is increasingly an important issue for businesses to
consider. The combination of changing demographics and
globalization is forcing every business to think about how
management must change as the workforce and customer base
becomes more diverse. To Christians, this should be no surprise
as
we are definitely told that the kingdom of God is diverse.
Reflect
on how diversity is a part of God’s plan and how scripture can
better enable you to appreciate God’s creation through His
diverse
peoples.
Upon successful completion of this discussion, you will be
able to:
● Expand on your personal definition of diversity.

2. ● Bible (New International Version)
Background Information
We often think that the best way to create unity is to reduce
diversity so that everyone looks and talks as much alike as
possible. The Bible repeatedly discusses how we are all united
under Christ but it does not declare we are all exactly the same.
In
fact, each of us is different. Look at Romans 12:4 where it says
we
are different parts of the body. If we were, all the same, the
body
would not work correctly. If we are not diverse, the capital C
church will not work correctly. The tension between similarity
and
diversity needs to be carefully maintained for the church to be
truly Christ’s body.
Read 1 Corinthians 12:12 (NIV): “The body is a unit, though it
is

3. made up of many parts; and though all its parts are many, they
form one body. So, it is with Christ.”
When we examine these verses, we can see how God uses our
differences to help and support each other.
Finally, in Revelation 7:9-10 (NIV), we see a great heavenly
perspective on diversity.
“After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude
that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and
language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They
were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in
their
hands. And they cried out in a loud voice: ‘Salvation belongs to
our
God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb.’”

How to Write a Reflective Paper
To start with the definition of a reflective paper, it is an essay
in which you show your experience and impressions about how
some events, books, people, classes and any other things
influence your personality. It is a completely personal and
subjective type of writing, and, on the one hand, doesn’t include
any type of research quite often, but, on the other one, it should
be written in a proper academic tone.
Such papers are often used by tutors to communicate and find
out more information about their students. Someone may think
that this task is not complicated, but you should understand that
reflective paper has its specifics.
Main Points You Must Always Remember About Reflective
Papers
1. Write clearly and concisely. Despite being a subjective piece
of writing, the logic of presentation should be met; otherwise, it
will be pretty hard to understand ideas you want to share.
2. Think of the main themes. First of all, try to gather your
thoughts together in one-two sentences; it will be the key point
of your writing. After that you have to decide why these
thoughts come to your mind, if there are some special moments
or association, write down them. For example, you can note
some visual and auditory associations, write out quotes from
books or articles that impressed you the most. A good practice
to organize your impressions and associations is to draw
schemes and tables.
3. Ask questions to get more details. You are writing about your
own experience, for that reason you have to focus on those
questions which had arisen in your mind when you perceived
new information. You should reflect on your personality. If you

8. aim to write about some book, ask yourself what episode you
like the most, what problems are the main ones, what important
social, emotional, cultural issues are raised. The number of such
questions may be extremely long.
4. Create a reflective essay outline. It is an extremely
significant thing for such papers, as it helps to create a map of
the paper, determine essential ideas and make the process of
writing much easier. Using the outline, you won’t forget to
include some element in the text, because you see the order of
paragraphs in front of you.
5. Write briefly. Usually, the number of words in the paper
varies between 300 and 700, but your instructor can change it.
If it happens, you have to meet his or her requirements. Pay
attention to this point before you start writing.
6. Write the text. The structure of the reflective paper is similar
to other essays. It starts with an introduction. Students talk
about their expectations at the very beginning before you read
book/journal, listened to the lection or had any other
experience. Choose appropriate words to make readers
interested in the whole text. At the end of the introduction, you
have to write a thesis statement. The following part is body, in
which you share emotions and feelings that you had after
watching, reading, listening and so on. Pay attention to the
brightest details and create one paragraph for each idea. In your
conclusion, the final part of the paper, you give brief
information about the points told in the body.
7. Good academic tone and proper sharing of the information.
Forget about slang and abbreviations, be attentive with spelling
and grammar, because you write the academic paper, not a
personal diary, even if you can use the pronoun “I.” In the
reflective papers you include the information about yourself,
and it is preferable to avoid names of people, who played
unpleasant role in your experience.
