Words that, sadly, describe many current societies around the world; societies in which fear of the unknown and distrust of differences propagates hatred, incites violence, leads to oppression, and even translates into discriminatory government policies.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Acceptance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Respect.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Inclusivity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plurality.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Love.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These are all words that we hear often as well, whether at work or in the media, words used to describe utopian societies in which individuals with different ethnicities, cultures, races, religious orientations, genders, sexual orientations, and other diversities characteristics and histories, live together in peace and harmony. And not only do they co-exist, but they also engage in positive interactions with one another on multiple levels many times a day, creating pluralistic communities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-691 size-medium alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mrsgeekchic.com\/staging\/5215\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Screen-Shot-2016-07-03-at-11.18.19-AM-300x221.png?resize=300%2C221\" alt=\"Screen Shot 2016-07-03 at 11.18.19 AM\" width=\"300\" height=\"221\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mrsgeekchic.com\/staging\/5215\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Screen-Shot-2016-07-03-at-11.18.19-AM.png?resize=300%2C221&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mrsgeekchic.com\/staging\/5215\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Screen-Shot-2016-07-03-at-11.18.19-AM.png?w=681&amp;ssl=1 681w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>One thing, however, that we do not often hear about, is how to get from a world of hatred to a world of peace. How does\u00a0that shift from intolerance to acceptance occur? Well, the answer is not straightforward; several conditions have to be in place in order for it to be possible to create a pluralistic culture in which every member\u00a0is accepted and valued precisely for those differences, that in many societies, are reviled.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Open-mindedness and Non-judgment.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">People have to be ready and willing to learn about others\u2019 ways of seeing and doing things, without judgment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Listening and Sharing.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-614 size-medium alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mrsgeekchic.com\/staging\/5215\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/TBolotenko2-300x206.png?resize=300%2C206\" alt=\"TBolotenko2\" width=\"300\" height=\"206\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mrsgeekchic.com\/staging\/5215\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/TBolotenko2.png?resize=300%2C206&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mrsgeekchic.com\/staging\/5215\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/TBolotenko2.png?resize=768%2C528&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mrsgeekchic.com\/staging\/5215\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/TBolotenko2.png?w=796&amp;ssl=1 796w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>People must be able to and willing to listen actively and to explain one\u2019s own experiences in order to learn about other groups and in order to teach about themselves. They must be open to and desiring of engagement in positive and respectful dialogue. This is not to say that everyone must eventually agree on everything, rather that we learn to discuss feelings, rationales and thought processes without yelling or screaming or creating \u201cwinners\u201d and \u201closers\u201d. In the end, we should be able to gain another perspective and that makes everyone a winner.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Introspection and Improvement.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here is where the process gets a little more active, as individuals will have to make time and space for self-reflection and make attempts to understand why they act in a certain way. The goal of introspection is to create a deeper understanding on oneself and others and oneself in relation to others in order to find ways in which to improve oneself. Everyone can improve at something. We are all works-in-progress.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Cognitive Dissonance.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-613 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mrsgeekchic.com\/staging\/5215\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/TBolotenko3.png?resize=401%2C523\" alt=\"TBolotenko3\" width=\"401\" height=\"523\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mrsgeekchic.com\/staging\/5215\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/TBolotenko3.png?w=401&amp;ssl=1 401w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mrsgeekchic.com\/staging\/5215\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/TBolotenko3.png?resize=230%2C300&amp;ssl=1 230w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 401px) 100vw, 401px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Enduring those periods of confusion when preconceived notions about certain cultures, religions, genders, races, etc. don\u2019t quite match up with the reality of one\u2019s experiences is paramount. No one likes to feel confused and anxious and it is easy to throw in the towel at this stage and revert to prior stereotypes, but that just takes one back to a world of intolerance and prejudice. Stay here. Endure. Overcome. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Patience and Forgiveness.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Change doesn\u2019t happen overnight and committing to an accepting, heterogeneous, pluralistic society is a lifetime commitment. Forgiving yourself when you\u2019ve made an assumption and trying again is key. Forgiving others when they have made incorrect assumptions and having the patience to educate them is also what this process is all about.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In order to try to educate students about how to move from hatred to love, intolerance to acceptance, homogeneity to diversity, exclusion to inclusion, I\u2019ve created a set of 3 posters depicting words associated with a hateful society, a society in-progress and a pluralistic society. Since FSL resources are sometimes hard to come by, I\u2019ve translated them into French as well. Please use freely and share widely. I know that change doesn\u2019t come with a couple of posters, but they are a good starting point for engaging in meaningful dialogue.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve also created a set of 3 posters promoting safe spaces, inclusivity and harmony using the LGBQT flag as the background (in French too!).<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Happy \u201cInternational Day to End Homophobia and Transphobia\u201d.
