*********The Written Assignment asks us to write about two diversity issues that we will face in our healthcare careers. Typically, these will relate to a patient’s unique culture or religion. America is a multi-cultural society and many of us live and work in very diverse communities. By 2042, America will be a majority-minority country. Probably by the 2080s or so, it will be a majority Spanish country. Like Canada, which has both French and English speakers, it is expected that people learn both languages. If a person wants to succeed in business, a profession or in education, they will have to be bilingual.***************
