I think this kind of stuff is just silly and doesn't matter, but here's a funny one that'll get you people fired up, it's from NASA's DEI training. There's a video of it online.
https://i.imgur.com/FEqFv8T.pnglol perfectionism, objectivity and sense of urgency are all white supremacist traits in rocket science. It's good to know, at least, that the guys responsible for the Challenger disaster were not white supremacists.
I don't get how both perfectionism and quantity over quality make the list tho. Seems like yer damned if you do, damned if you don't.
But I've taken a lot of different training programs and I can tell you that none of this matters. The people who put this sort of training together are morons who can't get a real job, and the people taking the training all struggle to pretend to be paying attention. The companies that pay for it don't care either way, it's just to shield them from liability in case of an incident.
Perfectionism - Trying to perfect your trade or research etc etc isn't it a good thing ?
Fear of Open Conflict - Why would you want an open conflict when you can solve it with diplomacy and being civil ?
Quantity over Quality - Well, this is open to debate but nothing succeed more than excess.
Defensiveness - In what sense and context ? I am not sure what this meant in this picture
Progress is bigger , more - Shouldn't every civilization and country strive to progress and lead their people to a better world ?
Paternalism - This really depends, but someone with more experience should have authority and responsibility to lead by example maybe ?
Worship of the written word - Depending on the culture ? Religion should be separated from the State though.
Right to Comfort - This is up for debate really depending on the situation and context.
Power Hoarding - Natural human instinct but can be extremely disastrous if no checks and balances.
Either / Or Thinking - I think in an argument, debate or policy discussion there can be more options, opinions and ways to solve problems
Sense of Urgency - This is what everyone should have.
Individualism - Depending on Culture
Objectivity - This is an excellent idea.
