Self-awareness
I speak up if I witness another person being humiliated or discriminated against. I am aware of my own biases and how they affect my thinking. I believe there are policies and practices in place that negatively impact people outside the majority culture. I connect easily with people who do not look like me and am able to communicate easily. I m interested in the ideas and beliefs of people who don t think and believe as I do, and I respect their opinions even when I disagree. I understand that I m a product of my upbringing and believe there are valid beliefs other than my own. I recognize and avoid language that reinforces stereotypes (Ex. Jew them down on the price.) I actively convey that nontraditional employees are as skilled and competent as others.
