Course Project—Topic Proposal This week your Course Project topic proposal is due. Below are the guidelines for this proposal: 01:43 AM MT 01/15/2016 Overview and Guidelines From by Harvey and Allard. An important part of our course is researching information on diversity and multiculturalism and its social, cultural, and ethical impact upon individual citizens, groups of people, and society at large. In the twenty-first century, Web sites are an important channel of communication between organizations and their external stakeholders. If an organization is serious about its commitment to diversity, one would expect that this would be reflected in the design, content, and graphics of the Web site. Potential employees, customers, suppliers, etc., often turn first to a Web site before initiating interaction with an organization. If diversity is really integral to the mission and values of an organization, information on diversity should be easily accessible, informative, and well integrated into the Web site. You will select a specific company in an industry such as healthcare, hospitality, manufacturing government, education, sports, etc. Then, prepare a report on the following: Age Gender Mental/Physical abilities Race Ethnic Heritage Sexual Orientation Geographic Location Military and Work Experience Family Status Income Religion First Language Education Organizational Role Level
