Inclusiveness

This week in Wananga we have been learning about Inclusiveness. 

What does Inclusiveness mean?

According to Oxford Dictionary inclusiveness means; the practice or policy of including people who might otherwise be excluded or marginalized, such as those who have physical or mental disabilities and members of minority groups. 

To me, Inclusiveness means including other people in class discussion, teams,
group work etc.

Although some other people in the class aren't comfortable with speaking up and
talking in front of others and we should respect that. On the other hand inclusiveness
means that we should include everyone in things we do, doesn't matter if they have no
experience or whatever but we should include them, that is a good way of building
relationships with others, and teamwork. 

What kind of things make people different from each other?

I would say a lot of things. Personalities, religions, emotions, talents, habits, heights, ages, genders, etc.

What sort of judgements do people make on others? Why do we make these judgements?
What impact can judgements have on other people?

Judgements, whether they come from you or someone else are designed to control, disempower
and stop you. Judgements could be based on their appearance, lifestyle, gender or behaviour. 

In most cases, we tend to judge others in order to feel better about ourselves, because we are l
acking self-acceptance and self-love. If we could all learn to love ourselves, we would make our world
a much more compassionate and much less judgmental. Sometimes people tend to judge others
because they want that person to feel low and bad, and make them feel big and proud in front of their
friends.
