Treat Everyone The Same

It is often said that treating people differently is neither fair nor appropriate. But to treat people right, you have to treat them differently. This is because people and their circumstances are different. If you were a tailor, you wouldn't give every customer the same suit.

However, it is important that people are treated according to the same rules. So I tried to explain Bridgewater in enough depth to discuss the differences.

A few weeks ago in our LGBT* forum there was a lot of talk about what we can do to continue to grow. Our network and support for LGBT* members of our organization and making sure that as an organization we know what caring for LGBT* people looks like and how we can best work with other networks to support each other.

One thing I've heard many times before is that when you talk to people out of network, the assumption is that "I treat everyone the same" is a good answer when asking about care providers. The services they provide to people.

The basic issue is that when we talk about treating everyone equally, we often mean treating everyone the way we think is good. So in deciding what looks good to others, we often approach the problem from the perspective of our own privilege and what we think everyone else needs based on our assumptions and life experiences.

The intention is good, but the delivery is wrong. If we don't try to understand where the other person is starting from and what they need, we can never be sure that we are treating them in a way that will benefit them the most.

If you search online, there are several images that can help summarize the difference between parity and parity.

By treating everyone the same, we ignore that the people in the picture are different heights, so giving everyone a box to look over the fence isn't really helpful. The tallest person can already see well and does not need help. The average person can now see with the help of a box, but the smallest person still cannot.

By treating them fairly, we give each of them the help they need. So we don't give the tallest person a box because they don't need it. We give the average person one box so they can see, but then we give the smallest person two boxes because they've built the most height and also now they can see over the fence. Cool.

It's interesting that the above picture has its problems, simply because it shows that some people just need more help than others, not that you need to come up with a different solution for some.

Has access so yes, some people may not need a box at all. Some may need a box. Some may need two, but others may need a ramp, or if they are visually impaired, they may need someone to describe what is happening on the other side of the fence. slow

Lucy Lawless Quote: “treat Everyone The Same Until You Find Out They're An Idiot.”

But the truth is that we all have some level of bias based on our upbringing and experiences. In the civil service and the public sector we have training to help us deal with unconscious bias, but I think with this training we can take it a step further and make everyone aware of their privilege and where do they start communicating or today? compared to everyday life

For those of us in diversity equity groups, when talking to others we need to examine our privilege, find common ground to start the conversation, and recognize that we are often told as children to 'be fair' and treat everyone the same." Now we just need to be able to help people understand that justice and equality are not the same thing, and it's important that we all recognize that.
