Promoting social inclusion: More important now than ever?

We are all unique and as humans share the experience of having areas of strength and weakness. However, our opportunities and abilities to capitalise on our strengths, and concordantly, to mask or accommodate our weaknesses vary tremendously. The degree to which our intersectionality or whether the different aspects of our lives are valued or devalued and the degree to which this impacts us is also heterogeneous. The phenomena of social exclusion and the need for more socially inclusive agendas is therefore not universally experienced nor understood. Indeed, it is argued that to not have to think about such issues is itself indicative of a position of relative privilege.
