Activity 5.4 The Danger of WordsTime: 30 minutesMaterials:Quotations and comments from participants collectedthroughout the weekObjectives:Clarification of certain terminologies used in the workcontext of culture and development to ensure betterunderstandings and avoid offenceHighlight that language is constantly changing as areterms and concepts, especially the ‘buzz-words’ oftenfound in development discourse. As such we have to besure that what we say is what we mean and recognizethat it could mean something else to others121Procedure:1. Select some of the comments made by theparticipants during the week. These commentsshould include key words such as empowerment,tolerance, respect, multiculturalism, etc. Four tofive words/phrases should be sufficient. Postingthem one by one on the whiteboard, ask theparticipants, in groups, to consider theirinterpretation of the meaning of each word andhow they use the word or phrase.2. After time for discussion choose one of thewords/phrases and invite comments from eachgroup. If no differences are expressed within thegroups, direct them to consider the chosen wordspecifically in relation to the terms: conflict,mediation, transformation.
1223. If necessary, demonstrate. For example, explain that ‘tolerance’ isnot always a positive concept. Tolerating somebody or somethingdoes not imply acceptance or respect and thus is negative.Emphasize that how we use the word/phrase must clearly expresswhat we mean.4. If a lively discussion evolves, it is best to let it run its course asthis activity is a key link between what we understand conflict,mediation, & transformation to mean – Activity 5.3 – and how wepractise what we understand in reality through the case studypresentations –Activity 5.5. For example, the commonly usedword ‘empowerment’ raises many questions along the lines of whohas the ‘right’ to empower any one person or group of people.Multiculturalism could mean the mutual isolation of cultures andnot simply the promotion of the existence of different culturesalongside each other. Again it is how we use words and not thewords themselves that can be problematic.A very useful reference on the definitions of concepts and the danger of wordscan be found at the UNITED for Intercultural Action Web Site atwww.united.non-profit.nl/pages/info13.htm
