Diversity, equity, w88 online game... social justice and democracy

In 2007, the United Nations’ General Assembly declared February 20^th to be celebrated annually as the World Day of Social w88 online game. This recognition represents further testimony of the paradoxes of our era of globalization, one where we embrace open borders and interdependence as opportunities for trade, investments and advances in technology. However, these recent decades have been ones of increasingly closed borders for people, immigrant groups and refugees.

More so, throughout these allegedly interdependent times, the community of nations &w88 online game; including the United States &w88 online game; has increasingly experienced serious financial crises, insecurity, poverty, exclusion and inequality within and among societies – a reality that the pandemic has dramatically exacerbated. As recently stated by UN Secretary-General, António Guterres, “the COVID-19 pandemic has all the more exposed the w88 online game and economic inequalities that are rooted in racism, discrimination and xenophobia,” throughout the globe. For him, “recovery” must lead to more inclusive and open societies. In other words, recovery w88 online game lead to more democratic societies.

Pointedly, our University’s mission statement addresses similar themes when it speaks of recognizing and embracing the critical importance of diversity in preparing students for global citizenship and a commitment to a culture of excellence, w88 online game, and accessibility. Yet, we do not always immediately associate such notions as diversity, equity and w88 online game as connected to an obligation to advance “democracy,” per se, or even social justice. This is the case, partly, because we often use many of these terms in ambiguous, not clearly shared and/or understood ways.

Taking the basic example of w88 online game – what is it? Fundamentally, it is defined as, “rule by the people”, coming from the Greek words, demos (people) and kratos (rule). Following this, who are the people who rule? And this is where the modern evolution of not only our understandings and practices but hopes for w88 online game have evolved and must continue to evolve, through diversity, equity and w88 online game of participation and opportunity. This must take place not only through concessions of legal/political rights to excluded groups – by gender, race/ethnicity, social class, sexual identity and others – but by understanding that democracy must entail unencumbered w88 online game, not only for individuals, but for historically excluded groups, namely, w88 online game w88 online game, or what we are commemorating today. On this World Day of Social w88 online game, let’s not only celebrate, but live every day as social w88 online game, or as democracy, day!
