Join Dr. Timothy R. Clark to learn how to create a deeply inclusive culture.
Friday May 28th, 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM MST
1. Why do humans exclude each other?
2. How do humans justify excluding each other?
3. What is a junk theory of superiority?
4. Applying worth vs. worthiness tests to each other
5. Creating a deeply inclusive culture through psychological safety
Why do humans exclude each other? Insecurity, arrogance, greed, fear? Yes, but here’s another reason: Because that’s what we’ve been taught. People usually believe what they’re taught. It’s called acquired socialization.
Here’s a second question: How do humans justify excluding each other? What criteria do we use? Race, age, gender, religion, culture, socio-economic status, political ideology, tribe, ancestry, geography . . . The list is very long. Are these legitimate factors? No, but we use them anyway to create junk theories of superiority. Nothing new.
When we use junk theories to create and perpetuate divisions and rationalize exclusionary behavior, we apply a worthiness test rather than a worth test to each other. If we turn that around and apply a worth test instead of a worthiness test, we have the stunning opportunity to create a deeply inclusive culture.
