During the inclusion and equality input, in week 3 and 4,  was interesting. We discussed what inclusion and equality means, and why they are important in today’s society. I found this interesting to talk about because equality and inclusion is an ongoing subject of discussion in the media and in every day life. Although inequality and exclusion used to be considerably worse in the 1960s, for example, it has improved and moved on since then but not by much. I think it is quite a topical subject and has been since before the 1960s. I find this topic interesting but also frustrating that in today’s society, people are still discrimated against due to the colour of their skin, which religion they believe in and even their gender and sexual orientation.  We also talked about the equality act which was introduced in 2010. This moved onto Allport’s Scale of Prejudice and Discrimination which includes: antiloctuion. this is the act of making jokes and insensitive remarks about another group; expressing opinions that reflect negative stereotypes and negative images based on preconceived judgements rather than facts. The second one is avoidance: actively ignoring specific individuals and groups; isolating; excluding. The third one is discrimination: denying equal access to opportunities , goods and services. Next is physical attack: persecution; assault; vandalism; hate crime. And last is extermination, which is genocide and ethic cleansing.

In the next input, we went into detail about disability and how people with a disability aren’t included as they should be in society. we discussed how no matter what capabilities people have, we should all be treated fairly and equally. This includes people in society and in workplaces to change their facilities so people who are in wheelchairs etc are able to access the facilities as other people can.
