Other (noun)
A person of a marginalised
or excluded group or demographic
within society.
Otherise or otherising (verb)
To exclude or facilitate the exclusion of an individual or group through action or inaction.
Otherism (noun)
A conscious or unconscious bias that is formed through ignorance or conditioning that results in beliefs or actions that exclude individuals or groups deemed different or ‘other’.
Otherising happens by our brains making incredibly quick judgments and assessments of people and situations without us realising. Our ISMs are influenced by our background, culture and personal experiences.
Challenge Your ISM?
We all have so many “isms” that keep us apart, isms that are buried so deeply within us, that we are unaware of them and their ramifications on ourselves and others: racism, sexism, ageism, elitism the list is endless. It may be uncomfortable but create an honest inventory of your limiting beliefs, you don’t need to show it to anyone but being truthful with yourself is the first step to change.
Check Your Circle
If you really want to know what your beliefs are, have a look at your close social circle and whom you choose to: befriend, hire and even love. That will tell you everything you need to know, especially if you live in a location that would allow for more diversity in your life.
CREATE
A New Connection
Reach out and connect with someone you ordinarily wouldn’t connect with, examine the views you have about this new connection, are you uncomfortable do you feel superior or inferior?
CHANGE
Your Mind
Actively change whatever beliefs prevent you from seeing yourself in the “other” and your fellow human being as an equal.
CELEBRATE
Similarity & Difference
Do not only get comfortable with diversity but celebrate difference, whilst also remembering what unites us and all that we have in common.
CHAMPION
The Cause
In the words of TED “ideas worth spreading”, pass the message on, collective change begins with individuals influencing other individuals.

The Six Degrees
of Integration
Famously it is said that there are just ‘six degrees of separation’ between any two individuals on the planet – from a newborn child in the most isolated tribe of the Amazon to Queen Elizabeth. Sadly misunderstanding and strife dominate our world and its politics, and there is now an urgent need for understanding and connection.
The Six Degrees of Integration: are six steps or degree shifts in our behaviour patterns that will bring us closer to having a more diverse and integrated social circle. We need to transcend the six degrees of separation together and move us towards lives connected by six degrees of integration.
Because the world is separate enough.
