Becoming more aware about the diversity of people around you is built upon an open-minded attitude and a willingness to accept the journey towards greater enlightenment is valuable and worthwhile. Individuals need to reflect upon where their prevailing attitudes may be close-minded or limited and what needs to be done to change this and to bring about a climate that welcomes diversity of belief, opinion and action. Awareness is typically heightened, and an organizational climate changed by talking about diversity and focusing on the strengths and the benefits it can bring. Effort also needs to be committed to drawing attention to fear, bias, discrimination, prejudice in relation to looking or acting differently, or having beliefs that are at odds with the “majority” position.

Comentário do professor
A expressão “at odds with” significa estar em desacordo ou em conflito com algo. No contexto da frase, refere-se a crenças que não coincidem com a visão predominante.
Assim, “disagree with it” traduz com precisão essa ideia: indicar que alguém não concorda com a posição da maioria.
Estruturalmente, usa-se be at odds with + objeto, o que equivale a disagree with + objeto em sentido comunicativo e prático.
O tom pode variar de simples discordância a incompatibilidade mais forte, mas a ideia central é a mesma: falta de concordância com a posição referida.
Exemplo: He is at odds with the majority position.
Tradução: Ele discorda da posição da maioria.
