  1. One concept that has always been heavily misunderstood is the idea that all people are seen as equals despite race, gender or religion. However, that is not the case and Wong points it out. We are all human beings living on this earth however our backgrounds and experiences set u apart from each individual. Wong uses the metaphor of a standard shoe given to everyone and those who don’t fit into it being at a disadvantage. We come in all shapes and sizes and it is not our job to be like everyone else but to thrive in what makes us unique. Wong explains how important it is to thrive in each others differences and support each other because we do not know everyones experience. It may even be offensive to deny this persons identity and treat them as if their background doesn’t play a monumental role in the person they have become.<\/li>\n
  2. One TSIS idea that can be seen in the article is when Wong argues that understanding who a person is and not just what you see on the outside requires work. It requires knowing about the individual and not making a simple blanket statement about who you think they are and where you think they’ve been. Wong says “Rather than assume everyone is the same (or should be), it is crucially important to seek and understand how differences in identities and experiences inform how we interact with our surroundings and each other.” This idea of connecting the parts is explained when we must put in the effort to understand\u00a0<\/span>where these\u00a0<\/span>minorities\u00a0are coming from and choose to acknowledge who they are as\u00a0<\/span>individuals. This is important because to truly\u00a0<\/span>sympathize\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span>understand\u00a0the true injustice they face we must be able to make these\u00a0<\/span>connections within our own lives.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
