Challenge norms that lead to exclusion from "summary" of Let In But Left Out by Frank Shines,Granison Shines
To truly create a more inclusive society, it is essential to question the norms that perpetuate exclusion. This means not simply accepting the status quo, but actively challenging the beliefs and practices that lead to marginalization. We must be willing to confront the biases and prejudices that underlie these norms, and work towards dismantling them. By challenging these norms, we can begin to shift the culture towards one that values diversity and inclusivity. This requires us to be vigilant in recognizing when exclusion is taking place, and taking action to address it. We cannot passively stand by and allow discriminatory practices to continue unchecked. It is important to remember that challenging norms that lead to exclusion is not easy. It requires courage and dedication to stand up against the prevailing attitudes and beliefs that support exclusion. But by doing so, we can create a more just and equitable society for all. In order to effectively challenge these norms, it is crucial to educate ourselves and others about the impacts of exclusion. By understanding the harm that exclusion causes, we can better advocate for change and push back against discriminatory practices. This requires us to engage in conversations with those who may not see the harm in exclusion, and to work towards building empathy and understanding.- By challenging norms that lead to exclusion, we can create a more inclusive society where everyone has the opportunity to thrive. It is up to each of us to take a stand against exclusion and work towards a more equitable future for all.
