Abstract:

A number of scholars (Fullwood I11 and Healy, 1994; Goode, 1993: Grogan, 199 1 ; Henry, 1990; Johnson and Packer, 1987; Sivy. 1997) have written extensively on major demographic changes that are occurring in the United States. Growing percentages of our country's population are people of color. Many are immigrants whose first language is not English. Those with disabilities are exercising their rights to participate in society in greater numbers. The gap between the rich and the poor is widening. The fastest growing religion in this country is not Christianity. And those with life styles and sexual orientations different from "the norm" are less likely than in the past to hide or attempt to "blend in."
