I lived near Santa Cruz for ten years, and the whole time, it bothered me what an exclusionary definition of 'inclusion' was in force. Social censure was applied to those who expressed unpopular or uncomfortable ideas.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We know that social exclusion is closely tied to the new economic world order, globalized, with free and open markets, which isn't bringing prosperity or social justice to all.
We are trying to construct a more inclusive society. We are going to make a country in which no one is left out.
My thinking has always been that the worst problem we have with regard to lack of inclusion is the terribly low labor force participation rates and terribly high unemployment rates of young men, especially young men in ethnic minority groups and, in particular, young black men.
I've always been relatively reserved with my social encounters.
It is only human supremacy, which is as unacceptable as racism and sexism, that makes us afraid of being more inclusive.
I think there's a mystery about what a social movement is.
Socially I never was an outsider. I have never thought of the conflict element before frankly, but perhaps it was wanting to belong, and at the same time wanting to retain one's own personality.
I've never felt the constraints of social acceptability.
Under popular culture's obsession with a naive inclusion, everything is O.K.
There was an idea of accepting everyone; there was no sense of exclusion.
