SCOPE: Diversity may be
defined as the racial, cultural, and gender differences
among human groups. (John K. Roth, Ethics) Throughout
society there exists a belief that certain groups of
individuals are superior or inferior because of skin
color, eye color, or other biological characteristics.
As a result, this discrimination denies individuals
their innate human rights. These attitudes have resulted
in organizations being created for the sole purpose of
protecting human rights by creating a set of universal
human rights that would provide ethical guidelines for
addressing these issues of diversity and tolerance. The
purpose of this pathfinder is to serve as a guideline
for student research. It is not intended as a
comprehensive listing of all the resources available in
the library, but as a selective sampling of the many
types of materials available.
Books dealing with diversity and tolerance are listed in
the Baddour Library’s online catalog under the following
subject headings:
SUBJECT HEADINGS
