Finding out what makes us different from other people is essential while getting to know ourselves. However, "othering" can lead to discrimination if we don't keep these observations neutral. In this episode, Kiki and Pia discuss their views on "othering" and "defensive othering" and their experiences with these concepts. Join us in analyzing these behaviors and discussing how to change them.
