Read the following article:

Thomas, David A. & Ely, Robin J. (1996). Making differences matter: A new paradigm for managing diversity. Diversity Matters. Preview the document (attached it below)

This article summarizes three diversity paradigms: the discrimination-and-fairness paradigm, the access-and-legitimacy paradigm, and the emerging paradigm of connecting diversity to work perspectives. Though the article is nearly 20 years old, the framework remains relevant because organizations’ approaches to diversity include the full range of paradigms. 
After reading this article, describe your experiences in organizations where you have worked and use the Thomas and Ely framework to “classify” the organizations in one or more of these paradigms. Also provide examples from your experiences of an organizations’ behavior in each of these three paradigms in a 3-4 page paper.

Remember to follow APA guidelines; especially for in-text citations and the correct citations on your reference page.
