2. Below is Loden’s Diversity Model representing the various dimensions of
diversity.Describe briefly the three major concepts of this model: the core to a person,
still core but can change and life experience that make us different. Use the table below
for your answers. (6 pts)

the core to a person- This core consists of the attributes we don’t have full control or things we
can never change in us such as our ethnicity, age and our fingerprints.

still core but can change- It is called as still core but can change because these are the things
that were introduced to us from the day we were born. However, we can make changes into it as
we grow up depending on the views and perspective we have in life. The common example is our
beliefs, it can change maybe because we meet people as we grow up and we accept what they
tell us to be true.

life experiences that make us different- In this core are the stuff that might change within us from
time to time just like our style, job and status. These things differ from us depending on what
influences and experiences we encounter in our individual lives.

3. Enumerate at least 2 gender-biased issues that are commonly experienced by

learners in the classroom. Identify possible prevention or solution to the issue. (8 pts)
 Gender - biased issues
1. boys are mostly to be elected as
schools student president
2. Not all students, especially
boys are able to participate in
extracurricular activities in
their school because most of
the participants are girls. They
think girls have more potential
than boys.
Gender - biased issues
3. In P.E subjects boys always
get a high-intensity level of
exercise while girls get the
low-intensity level. For
example, boys are required to
do wide-arm push-ups while
girls are required to do box
push-ups only.
4. When a girl cut her hair
shorter (boy cut), other
students will call her lesbian
because of the length of her
hair.
Prevention/Solution
give equal chance for everyone to run or be in
the position regardless of the gender
Teachers must also look for more participants
and should not gather participants based on
gender so that students can showcase their
hidden talents. Most of the students are only shy
to get involved, so, the teachers must be the
ones to initiate.
Prevention/Solution
I suggest that all people must get rid of the
gender stereotype that men are stronger than
women. There are other boys that are weaker than
women such as boys who have heart diseases or
boys that also require a lower intensity level of
exercise due to their weak bodies.
This issue might generate problems for the
student (girl), the teacher must take disciplinary
measures about this. It is vital to educate
students about bullying and that females have
freedom to choose their preferred haircut
regardless of the length of it.
