Pluralism, Toleration and Diversity

“If we cannot end now our differences, at least we can help make the world safe for diversity. For, in the final analysis, our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this small planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children's future. And we are all mortal.” (J. F. Kennedy)

Are difference and diversity concepts to be cherished and celebrated or feared? Track responses to pluralism, racism, colonialism and inclusion across time and cultures.

Think about the ideological positions behind some of the arguments. Broaden your horizons and put yourself in someone else’s shoes.
