I want to address the assumption of human ‘badness’ — that people resort to violence when faced with adversity and that ultimately we are competitive in nature, rather than collaborative. I want to do this because it’s part of understanding how we can go about self-reflecting and take steps to dismantle our implicit biases. I also want to address the way we perpetuate these beliefs by thinking of ourselves as ‘separate from’ or outside of a situation as if we aren’t intrinsically linked with the world around us and therefore influential of and influenced by a multitude of causes, conditions and circumstances. This is about seeking to understand how personal responsibility functions within the whole. We are none of us free of the influence of the world in which we grew up.
