TITLE
To manage diversity in the UK society and focus will be on sex discrimination.
INTRODUCTION
Diversity and managing the same is a topic which is directly associated with bringing
equality among the male and females so that both get same opportunities to develop. It is a
sensitive issue as inequality in gender has a great impact on the performance of an organisation
as well as on the society (Bilgehan, 2011). It is necessary that the importance of bringing
equality is realised and has to ensure that no discrimination should be done on the any basis be it
race, colour creed or gender. As the situation is changing it is seen that even women can perform
each task hence they should not be considers less than any other. Globalization has brought
various platforms for females too where they can easily share their capabilities and show that
they are equivalent to men. In the following report various solutions will be given towards how it
can be managed and why it is necessary to manage diversity in the sexual discrimination.

RATIONALE OF THE STUDY
What is the research issue?
In the present scenario diversity is observed in the different sections of the society due to
caste culture, gender etc. When people are treated differently or discriminated on these grounds a
negative feeling is developed which further leads to different issues (Griffin, 2013). The most
common grounds on which difference among the individuals is done is gender as it is the most
visible problem prevailing in the society. In order to minimise the effects and conflicts it is
necessary that these issues are resolved so that sentiments of no individual is harmed and
equality is maintained. Apart from this to guarantee growth in society it is necessary that sexual
inequalities are minimised to minimum. Hence, this is the major issue behind the research
conducted.
Why is it an issue?
Managing diversity is an issue because in the society everyone is not given the equal
rights and treated differently. There are no specific grounds of this practice but is continuing
since a long time. It is necessary that people are provided with same treatment and for same to
manage diversity is necessary (Tomlinson and Schwabenl, 2010). This has become an issue
because its negative impacts are now increasing rapidly as society is experiencing various
problems due to the variation in treatment given to boys and girls.
Why is it an issue now?
It has become an issue now because the negative impact of sexual discrimination has now
raised to a great level that it has become necessary to bring control over this practice. It is
realised that if the discrimination is managed than the performance of work place can be
improved and positive change in the society can be brought. It has become a challenge to
manage this practice as it is a very old belief that women are weaker than in comparison to
males. Hence females are given less remuneration at work place and are also considered to be
less important in the society. It is important that realisation of need is done to give women equal
position and consider them equally important.
