Discussion, action and inclusion Do we really have room for everyone?

Solberg government It decided at that time that at least five percent of new employees in the state would be people with disabilities. Today’s government has now removed this requirement, raising questions about whether there are real attitudes and willingness to act behind words of praise about facilitating more inclusive working lives. The five percent requirement has been deleted and has not yet been replaced by any other measure, and one may wonder what this expression is.

One explanation is that the path from words to action is often very long in politics, and that in the case of inclusion of people with disabilities, there is no real will for the structural and attitudinal change that this requires. Creating an inclusive society requires that we collectively develop new attitudes toward humanity, and this must also be reflected in our ability to take our time and allow for forms of expression that are not “perfect.”

This obsession with productivity What characterizes much of working and educational life is not compatible with a society that accommodates people like Ola. The elimination of the five percent requirement is an example of how such changes actually require other designs for working life. In this case, it may have proven too broad for the government’s liking.

The vast majority of conversations about inclusion take place without the stakeholders present. In this way, the basic attitude of “us and them” is maintained, no matter how good the intentions of the conversation are. The concept of inclusion is often justified in the United Nations Convention on Human Rights and is based on the premise that those outside society should be allowed in. In this way, community is presented as if it were a fixed dimension, which marginalized people must access.

But the whole will always be It is an expression of the parts, and therefore it must naturally change if the parts change. Moreover, this is justified by the fact that being abroad can be lonely, painful and a direct obstacle to the ability to self-actualize.

This is largely the case. But an important aspect that is rarely highlighted is what society misses when it is shaped in such a way that not everyone can participate. Conformity begets conformity, and so a society unable to accommodate those at the extremes of the normal distribution will gradually shape itself in such a way that fewer and fewer people will find a place for themselves.

Inclusion is not just It’s important to include someone. Inclusion is also about a community’s focus on being an honest expression of all its members. This will naturally have something to say about how society is designed. In other words, inclusion means the ability to allow all voices to be heard. The art of social work is to facilitate the harmony of voices.

Or, to put it in more everyday language, to find ways of living together where one’s needs and abilities have a legitimate place. Moreover, needs are not only satisfied, but they have an impact on the surrounding environment, thus enriching it.

In a society that rewards Efficiency, productivity, material prosperity, more and more human qualities will be neglected and eventually excluded. Therefore, diversity – or the true expression of who we are – is not only valuable, but invaluable.

Through the richness of the encounter with human qualities, we get the opportunity to discover and develop more aspects of ourselves. The film is important because the encounter with Ola is not just an encounter with Ola, but an encounter with something within ourselves. In an escalating and sometimes relentless pursuit of fulfillment, every encounter with the tenderness and beauty of fallibility is welcome.

The one who dares To wear the heart on the outside, he implicitly asks for a society that accepts him. This is how people like Ola can influence our world in the direction of greater goodness, presence, and sincerity. For those of us who are in a position to impact our environment, and we all do in one way or another, this film is an inspiration. It motivates us to work for social structures that serve and support people. Not the least of which is standing against social development where the opposite is true.
