We are in a place right now where accountability for wrong doing is often very difficult and can be elusive in some places. That becomes especially true where minorities find themselves the target of extremists. We have work to do as a nation and that starts with convincing people that inclusivity and opportunity are the best strategic path to a strong future. We know this on one level but must believe it and act on it in a way that draws people to a shared vision as a universal democracy.
You can learn about the Inclusivity Index. You can read another explanation at NBC Inclusion Article
The Inclusiveness Index is an annual ranking of nations and states that examines the experiences of different groups across a number of different factors.
U.S. ranks 77 overall. There were 126 nations included. 118th in race, 108th in gender, 16th in LGBTQ, 27th in religion, 70th in disability, 84th in general population. Compare that to 2016 numbers of 8th in race, 61 gender, 9th LGBTQ, no data religion, 1st disability, 138 general population
I believe very much that these numbers will begin to rise as we become aware of the pain and sorrow of hate and take measures to change that. A fresh perspective is rising and it will illuminate our hearts and minds in a way that uplifts our souls and the American dream to its highest perch.
Human capital development and fair treatment leads to new economic and social horizons. We have crossed a precipice and much more aware of the needs of the next generation that have no problem with interacting with people of different races, faces, and places. Gen Z Stats
In other words, we need leaders that are less parrots and more eagles to protect our young eagle eggs from generation to generation. Democracy relies on commitment to our American ideals from generation to generation.
