What made me go “wow” after reading the article “One Without the Other: Stories of Unity Through Diversity and Inclusion” was how the author highlighted the need to shift the traditional educational model of inclusion. This made me change my thinking of inclusion as we should not only include those that are “others”, but get rid of the “other” entirely. Moreover, the author described the traditional educational model as one that was created to replicate students so they meet the demand of the workforce. This made me wonder; if the education system follows this inclusion ideology in learning, will the capitalist society follow? The capitalist will always want homogeneity as diverse people challenge the hierarchy and control will be lost, resulting in a loss of capital.
