Navigating Othering and Belonging
This chapter explores the concept of 'othering' and its societal implications, revealing how it can range from social exclusion to extreme acts like genocide. It contrasts this with the innate human desire for belonging, discussing how individuals often define themselves against others, but challenging the idea that exclusion is necessary for belonging. The chapter also emphasizes the importance of new narratives and bridging stories that promote understanding and connection in a rapidly changing world.
