Making a Difference by Being Yourself

There are hundreds of ways to make a difference: in process, in outcomes, with tasks or with people. And from the latest business bestsellers
to over 28 million hits on Google, people in every walk of life are seeking
answers. Building on the powerful fundamentals of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator(R) assessment and drawing on survey data from more than 500 people at every level of the organization, Making a Difference by Being Yourself offers a simplified framework that identifies four key personality types--stabilizers, harmonizers, catalysts, and visionaries--and shows how to go beyond a simple understanding of who we are to actually put into practice--purposefully and consciously--the strengths of our own personalities and styles in ways that can make a meaningful difference.

PBS - RACE The Power of an Illusion S01E01 Difference Between Us (2003) DVDRip

Everyone can tell a Nubian from a Norwegian, so why not divide people into races? That's the question taken up in "The Difference Between Us", the first episode in a three-part series titled "Race--the Power of Illusion". This segment demonstrates how recent scientific discoveries have toppled the concept of biological race. It follows a dozen students, including Black athletes and Asian American string players, who sequence and compare their own DNA. The results surprise them--and us--when they discover that their closest genetic matches are as likely to be with people of "other" races as their own. Much of the program is devoted to understanding why people of different "racial" groups are so similar genetically. Looking at skin color differences, disease, human evoluation, even genetic traits, we learn there's not one characteristic, one trait, even a single gene that distinguishes all members of one "race" from another. One by one, our myths about race--including "natural" superiority and inferiority--are taken apart.
