Today we live in a world that undeniably diverse, especially in the United States of America. We strive to have a peaceful coexistence of diverse ethnic groups, as we embrace our similarities yet still hold our differences close. Historically, the United States has had to deal with many issues of racism and ethnic diversity, as immigrance has taken place which has been chosen or forced for many people. Now, we currently hold a heightened awareness of diversity, and start a discussion of how to approach ethnic diversity. Many feel that we should hold a colorblind view, where all should be seen as equal, regardless of race, color, sex, or creed, while others feel that we should approach things with a more multicultural view point in which we embrace our differences. Our views on diversity also may be influenced by our levels of self monitoring, the degree to which we watch out our own internal actions. This study hopes to explore the correlation between self monitoring and feelings towards diversity in terms of both colorblindness and multiculturalism.
