As you watch, ask yourself:
1. How can a compassionate perspective become exclusionary?
Sometimes compassion is expressed through overprotectiveness or lowering expectations. Instead of enabling participation and autonomy, it can limit opportunities, objectify, or define a person by their limitations.
2. What is the difference between identity and competence?
Identity – who someone is, including traits, experiences and personal diversity. Competence – skills, knowledge, and the ability to perform work. Evaluation in the workplace should be based on competence, not identity or limitations. Consciously distinguishing these levels allows the creation of an inclusive and fair environment.
