Final task: reflect on diversity and inclusion with songs

• Diversity refers to who is represented (age, gender, ethnic, ability, neurodiversity): it is the condition of having or being composed of differing elements, and especially the inclusion of different types of people in a group or organization. 

• Equity refers to fair treatment for all people --> While equality assumes that all people should be treated the same, equity takes into consideration a person’s unique circumstances, adjusting treatment accordingly so that the end result is equal.  

• Inclusion refers to how people experience society or the workforce, and the degree to which organizations embrace people or all employees and enable them to make meaningful contributions.
