nomic conditions, nationalism, the fall of political systems, technological abrupt changes - the stereotypes always existed but were in a dormant condition! The young people are not devoid of any influence and are called to take a position on the stereotypes about the other that circulate in this/her community. On the contrary the young generation is encouraged to adopt the stereotypes and to refrain from questioning them. Such pressures come from various levels. This is related to the level of expectations of the young to conform. In the context of a multi-ethnic society or multi-racial society the divisions take place on the basis of cultural traits such as ethnicity, religious, color, etc. Geographic ghettos, outside the common communication space, create xenophobia especially of migrant groups or refugees and other new social groups. The hostile attitude toward the one who is different from us in public spaces shows that tolerance is not an easy process as we have indicated. The factor of fear has always been used by politicians and other interested parties in order to promote and implement a certain unpopular policy or interventions as has been the recent invasion of Iraq. Exercise 3: Experiential exercise (work in groups): 1. Who is the “other” in your country? 2. What are the main stereotypes, perceptions prevailing in your societies about the “other”? 3. How do you think your society can address these stereotypes? 4. Make any recommendations for policy-making and attitude changes. Participants discusing about (each) “other”. 108
From the lecture ... ● ● ● What have I learned? The interactive aspect is very important (Simone PASCHETTO). The self becomes the other, we interconnected all the time with the other. Who is the “other”? ❖ Someone we do not always talk about. (Simone PASCHETTO) ❖ The self and the other are interdependent. (Mojca VAH) ❖ Dependency relationship is not healthy because of the power issue. ❖ Independency relationship is positive: there is an acknowledgment that one needs the other, thus there is a mutual respect. The States can improve: ❖ Economic conditions of new migrants. ❖ Issues of unemployment. ❖ Issues of competitiveness among local and migrants. ❖ Institutional programs to get to know the facts and more information about these migrants. ❖ Public awareness about our own connectedness to the “other”. ❖ Integrative policies, especially in education. ❖ Programs that aim to bring out the positive elements of the “other”. ❖ Conditions for inter-marriages not to be viewed as a taboo. Exercise 4: I would like us to think about the other important stereotype which is cultural, political and social: Gender stereotypes 1. In what ways do you think men and women differ? Use personal experiences From the lecture ... ● ● ● ● ● Racism is a reaction in a non-rational way. Sexism is different: man and woman are different. Both sexism and racism are exclusions. Xenophobia: being afraid of the other. Yet “Xenos” in Greek also means not only the stranger, but also the quest, the visitor and we are expected to offer hospitality. 109
