Enabling model
- Be proud of yourself- Understand the other- Respect diversity- You have rights + obligations- Participate in social life- Stand-up for your rights- Respect the rights of others
Participating in the community
Disabling model
- Identify with stereotypes- Ignore the other - Focus on differences- Act as a victim- See others as a threat- ‘Exploit’ any opportunity- Others are of no concern
