Although a court ruling has temporarily blocked the ban, it has aroused a chaos and a drastic debate among the world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"700\" height=\"394\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6yiQAmgI5s4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><span class=\"s1\">The United States is a country which population consists of over 13.3 percent of immigrants, while about 3.3 million are Muslims in 2015. No one knows how many more immigrants would be deported under Trump\u2019s administration despite from Muslims. Regardless of the real intention behind Trump\u2019s immigration ban, the enforcement of the immigration rule would have a hugely impact on the diverse atmosphere of the workplace in the United States. <\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_46\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-46\" style=\"width: 389px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-46\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/christineyu\/files\/2017\/02\/aptopix-trump-refugee-759-300x167.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"389\" height=\"222\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-46\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">(Genna Martin\/seattlepi.com via AP)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In Chapter 3 of the textbook, there is a section about effective diversity in the workplace. Rejecting people from entering America will cause a lack of diversity, which can make the companies in America difficult to innovate. Of the seven Muslim-majority countries which were banned on immigration, one, in particular, has seeded the American tech industry with talent, much of which has risen to top spots in major tech companies. As responded to Trump\u2019s immigration rule, the Apple CEO Tim Cook\u2019s messaged to workers that the tech giant welcomes everyone, \u201cregardless of what they look like, where they come from, how they worship or who they love.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In my perspective, welcoming diversity is an essential concept not only for governing a country but also to be pursuing in the workplace. It allows people with different cultural backgrounds and different talents come together, to build on different opinions and thoughts to form a comprehensive understanding of variety, of the world around us. Through the effective cooperation, it allows us to accomplish tasks more efficiently and all-rounded. Welcoming diversity needs us to accept the difference among individuals and be open-minded towards all kinds of thoughts. It is also a gaining and sharing process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Word Count: 326<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">References:<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Kaven Waddell, \u201cHow Trump\u2019s Immigration Rules Will Hurt the U.S. Tech Sector,\u201d <em>The Atlantic<\/em>, Feb. 1, 2017, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/technology\/archive\/2017\/02\/how-trumps-immigration-rules-will-hurt-the-us-tech-sector\/515202\/\"><span class=\"s2\">https:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/technology\/archive\/2017\/02\/how-trumps-immigration-rules-will-hurt-the-us-tech-sector\/515202\/<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Rick Clough, Jeff Green, Laura Colby, \u201cCompanies Grapple With Diversity Questions After U.S. Election,\u201d <em>Bloomberg<\/em>, Nov. 11, 2016, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2016-11-11\/from-immelt-to-cook-fresh-pledges-for-diversity-in-trump-era\"><span class=\"s2\">https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2016-11-11\/from-immelt-to-cook-fresh-pledges-for-diversity-in-trump-era<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Jens Manuel Krogstad, Jeffrey S.
