Dialogue as Being With: An Antitoxin to Hate and Intolerance
As the social and political landscape becomes more fearful, intolerant, and self-centered, the concept of dialogue offers a different path, a constructive way of approaching alien ideas and beliefs. Understanding the principles of true dialogue is the most effective way to foster inner and outer harmony, broaden one’s horizons, and check aggressive, intolerant impulses. Dialogue’s roots are ancient, related to a method of argument called dialectic. It is a special partnership based on mutual respect and humility. Dialogue isn’t easy to engender. It requires four pre-conditions: 1) non-empirically verifiable topic; 2) two-way flow; 3) fairness; and 4) willingness to risk self-identity
The Historical Facts about Hate Crime in America The Social Worker’s Role in Victim Recovery and Community Restoration
Attitudes and belief systems associated with social intolerance and racial bigotry have been part of American society for generations. Analysis of historical records reveals a number of examples of how these social forces have shaped society’s reaction to those they consider to be not part of the mainstream culture. A review of research documented in the literature on social psychology indicates that individuals who hold strong prejudicial beliefs about others based solely on race, religion, sexual orientation, or ancestry often express those feelings in ways that lead to the commission of criminal acts known as hate crimes. The proliferation of hate crime in the United States represents a major social problem that has reached new heights since the 2016 election. The promotion of anti-diversity rhetoric by President Trump and his Republican administration has fueled a stronger, more empowered White nationalist movement in this country whose racist ideology has inspired an uptick in violent attacks against those they consider a threat to the American way of life. Substantial evidence of the rise of bias-related crimes against individuals that are members of racial, ethnic, religious, and sexual minority groups targeted by the administration’s hate campaign can be found in statistics from national surveys that indicate that since the election, the frequency of these type of attacks has more than doubled across the nation. The beating of a Black man at a public rally in Charlottesville, Virginia by White nationalists in August 2017 and the mass shooting that took place at a gay Latino nightclub in Orlando, Florida in 2016 are just two examples of what has become an expanding national trend of hate violence against marginalized groups in our society that are perceived as outsiders. This article presents an analysis of the history of bias-motivated crime in the United States and the national response to this type of criminal behavior. It discusses the psychological and social impact of these crimes on victims, communities, and society. It examines how social workers can implement the intervention techniques of the restorative justice model to help those affected rebuild their lives and communities in the aftermath of crime precipitated by hate

In this format, words are not annotated for part of speech or lemma. In addition, contracted words like can\u27t are separated into two parts (ca n\u27t) and punctuation is separated from words (eye level . As her).

The Humility to Serve: Acknowledging a Fallible Spirit and Nurturing Growth
Servant-leadership is a broad model that can be applied at many levels and in diverse seasons of one’s life. It is not only limited to an occupation but is relevant to our daily, more personal, social and familial interactions. It often seems that nurturing the less personal relationships with subordinates and co-workers comes more readily than those that are more deeply intimate. There is generally greater vulnerability required to humble oneself and be at the mercy of those who can most deeply wound us. For most, there is at least somewhat of an emotional distance to maintain with employees and peers, and though these relationships may cause significant hurt and dissonance, it is not at the same level that a partner or child can. Being a spouse or parent may not be considered a formal leadership position, yet it is in just these roles that one may have the most substantial influence on society (Ferch, 2012). It is a unique aspect of servant-leadership as a whole that no official designation is required, whether personally or professionally, the ultimate desire is to serve others first, and the leader blossoms out of this service mindset into action (Ferch, 2012)
How to Communicate Servant-Leadership: An Exploration of Relational Communication and Employee Outcomes
Can supervisors intentionally communicate messages that signal traits of servant-leadership and that influence organizational commitment, job satisfaction, and turnover intentions? Organizational supervisors are in a unique position to influence the employee experience (Myers, Seibold, & Park, 2011). A substantial body of research has documented the ability of a supervisor to influence employee attitudes such as organizational commitment, job satisfaction, and turnover intentions (e.g., Bliss & Fallon, 2003; Brown & Yoshioka, 2003; Epitropaki & Martin, 2005; Fleishman, 1998; Jaskyte, 2003; McColl-Kennedy & Anderson, 2005; Walumbwa & Lawler, 2003). Within organizational behavior research, servant-leadership has emerged as one of the prominent leadership theories (Walumbwa, Hartnell, & Oke, 2010), because it embodies elements of morality, stewardship, and concern for the well-being of followers (Greenleaf, 1977)
