Diversity and Public relations.

Hello Friends

Hi this is my first ever blog.To began with i have chose Diversity and Public Relations to talk about.

 I went through few articles on Diversity and Public Relations where people talked about the COLOR or CAST as a factor in PR i.e Afro-Americans and Americans where they talked about minority representation, particularly at the senior level; The report said Afro-Americans practitioners have been performing PR duties for nonprofits, social movements, corporations, and other institutions for decades. Like every group, Afro-Americans practiced public relations before anyone even bothered to call what we do “public relations.”and then they talked about GENDER as a factor in PR where the report said that in pat 20 years the industry has seen a radical change in the ratio of men to women working in this field. 


I wonder does Cast diversity or Gender diversity really matters in PR profession or any of the other profession. A corporate person never asks his PR about his cast or the gender,what matters to him is the the work done and its result.Why can't it be Diversity in Public Relations instead of Diversity and Public Relations.Public Relations being a vast subject there are may issues untouched ,there are many methods to be discovered in PR. You'll never know an Afro-American or a women might come up with a better idea or a method in a Public Relations campaign than that of any other person or men.Every one should be equally treated.One should not just respect the designation but also the knowledge and the talent the person holds.And if knowledge can be possessed by any person the above factors (Cast and Gender) should not bother anyone.  

For a profession like Public Relations things like Gender or Cast should not matter and what should matter is the work done and result and what should matter is finding new ways to promote PR so that more and more people take it up as profession.

So Public Relations being so diverse in itself one should work on bringing all its diversity together to make it a more powerful tool for the near future instead wasting time in dragging cast or gender discrimination in it.
