Religious and cultural diversities are the most complex associations of humankind in the society today

Religious and Ethnic Variations

Religious and ethnic variations remain the most dynamic human associations in today's culture. Our cultures vary significantly in terms of ethnicity and religious views. As a result, as a student, you will face a variety of challenges as you grow up. Such difficulties arise as a result of segregation and prejudiced treatment within organizations. This article includes a detailed summary of my high school experience as well as possible improvements that can be made to educate children about how to embrace differences in society and ensure fair representation of students from different religious backgrounds.

Discrimination and Unfair Treatment

My high school experience as a Muslim student in Oregon was characterized by discrimination and unfair treatment based on my ethnicity and religion. Oregon was a private Catholic school and was the closest to our residential areas. The institution had a strong culture grounded in the Catholic interpretation of the Biblical beliefs as well as preferential treatment of white Americans.

Administration and Religious Beliefs

The framework of administration within the school is set in such a way that the entire student body, regardless of their religious background, ought to adhere to its established standards and regulations. Even though the school has an excellent academic performance, it does not respect student's religious beliefs. Nonetheless, it has highly trained and experienced teachers who contribute to the excellence. Due the fact that I was a Muslim student alongside a few other Muslim students, it could be ethical to allow us embrace our cults of religion within the school. However, the institution curtailed our religion. Practically, it was necessary for everyone to attend Christian services regularly thus allowing no choice of any other form of religious denominations or groups. That was a major torture that we faced as Muslims while learning in the institution.

Fostering Unity and Respect

Notably, it is ethical to embrace the diversity of religion and other cults in a society since that is what constitutes morality and freedom of association. This way, with my negative experiences, it is apparent that the institution failed, considerably, in its mandate to foster the freedom of association and respect for individual religious beliefs envisaged in the American constitution. In its role as a leading educational institution, the school ought to foster students' unity by serving as a role model in valuing and appreciating the rights of students from other ethnicities and religious background. In addition, I think the school should have exercise tolerance by putting in place appropriate measures that give the Muslim students a chance to associate and worship. At all times the institution should train its teaching and non-teaching staff to respect and treat equally the entire student body during their daily endeavors. By adopting such changes, the school could reduce and ultimately abolish all incidences of discrimination and unfair treatment based on religious affiliation against minority students.

Freedom of Association and Expressions

Moreover, religious beliefs should be treaded the fundamentals of diversity within the institution's framework of practice in the academic arena. The right to freedom of association and expressions is, perhaps, the most important component of the American constitution. It permits every individual with the right to exercise his or her religious and cultural beliefs without compromising the rights of others. This way, the institution should embrace such context as a guideline to developing and implementing the curriculum contents. Historically, the aspect as racial and social injustice has been a common menace in the American society hence avoidable.
