An inclusive society is merely a dream. How true is this of your society?

Inclusivity:- No one is left out, opportunities for all- Compassion, empathy, sensitivity- Social cohesion/ interdependent link

Differences/ interactions- Rich-poor divide/ gap- Ethnic groups: perceptions vs. misperceptions - Natives (citizens and PRs) vs. foreigners (foreign talent, migrant workers)- Religions and followers/ believers- Mainstream vs. peripheral groups (homosexuals, ex-offenders)- Activist causes- Elitist vs. masses

0%: already a reality, able to sustainEthnics groups: Lingering misperceptions national inclusivity not clearly envisioned by significant minority (eg. insensitive comments), exclusionary educational policies

25%: realistic, achievableRich-poor divide lessened with greater assistance by rich to poor, inclusive society is a realistic goal to strive for.

50%: projected by putting in place right measures/ not clearly envisioned (public perception)

75%: unrealisticMainstream society: way of media messages/ public education campaigns that encourage acceptance of peripheral groups (eg. ex-offenders)

100%: fantasy, impossible dream
