Journey Between Identities
- At the foundation of understanding how to navigate the social space of disagreements and polarization is awareness of my identity cluster and the personal and social meanings of belonging to it.
- Who do I belong to? whom do I resemble? What are the characteristics of these identities in dress, language, customs, and positions. What does it mean about with whom I am in conflict or dispute, how do I relate to the other? The different from me? And what does it say about my ability to engage with understanding the other and changing attitudes. And mainly how can we change and promote reducing social polarization through understanding my identity and embracing the "other"
