Perspective is the way in which we view our world, the circumstances in which we find ourselves in our world and our relationships with others as we try to figure out how the world works.
So first, let’s make an adjustment to our perspectives as I write this blog.
Perspective invites examination.
If your perspective can’t change, neither will your attitudes, your communications or your interactions.
Understanding equality and diversity means understanding ourselves.
It is about getting to know what causes conflict around Equality and diversity, how each of us creates our own conflict say around race, why gender conflict is an important asset to organisations and individuals. Why disability conflict should be accepted rather than rejected and welcomed rather than avoided. How we can benefit from more deliberate responses to and more constructive approaches with conflict around sexual orientation, religious and belief.
There is a quote by General Sun Tzu which says “To get to where you want be, you need to know where you are going.”
We are all on a path going somewhere, so we should each ask these 3 questions:
- WHERE are we going?
- HOW are we going to get there?
- WHO are we talking with us?
How do we reach agreement around Factual, statistical, information?
- What is rational and reasonable?
- Why the emotional and psychological affect on human potential matters?
Managing this conflict around Equality and Diversity
What and how are we negotiations, distributive, (traditional) Integrative, (interest-based) of shared social bonding within communities done.
Think about it!
- What are VALUES?
- How do they form? From where do they originate?
- What do values really mean to us individually and culturally?
- How do we encourage compliance with group values and discourage non-compliance with group values?
- Should group values apply to all individual citizens? Why? Why not?
- What is the difference between being a citizen and being a subject?
What are your thoughts on this?
