RE: Flash Contest on Inclusion

in #politics6 years ago

I will answer this comment backwards:

As @calluna said: “nana is just short for bananafish.”

I will be talking about inclusion in the active sense, so keep that in mind. Anyways, inclusion to me mean four things:

  1. it is a movement that seeks to promote inclusivity for historically oppressed minorities into fields they were once denied from entering/working in;
  2. integration of once segregated groups;
  3. the demotion of exclusionary tactics that seek to divide and group people unnecessarily (to a group’s detriment in benefit to another group);
  4. and (in the passive sense) to include people into your life, in any way, for reasons of diversity.

Now we are specifically more into the fourth definition of the word "inclusion" for this contest; but we won’t mind you or anybody going into the first three definitions. And I would get into the history of inclusion and diversity, but that would be, err, not a thing a comment could take care of. So I can provide some examples of inclusion for now (and mój Ukochany provided good passive sense examples, not poor ones :p):

  1. For the first particular definition, you can imagine the promotion of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) to groups of people that have a hard time receiving higher education so they can have the ability to go into more complex/specialized jobs.
  2. For the second particular definition, something like "boys" and "young ladies" in elementary school integrating into the same classroom and not separate ones.
  3. For the third particular definition, think about humans and robots bonding together to break down the unnecessary divide amongst each other.
  4. For the fourth particular definition, look at the two examples provided by @calluna~

I'll be happy to think about the fourth case :)
