Abstract

One of the major world issues is dealing with individual differences by looking at one’s appearance or identity. Dimensions of individual differences such as ethnicity, gender, race, socio-economic status, religion, and sexual orientation play a crucial role in shaping individuals’ identities and experiences in various social contexts. Understanding these dimensions and how they intersect can help organizations and institutions create more inclusive environments, policies, and practices. Ethnicity, race, and religion refer to the shared cultural identity, language, and traditions of a group of people. These have a significant impact on how people perceive discrimination and exclusion in a variety of contexts, including the job, healthcare, and education. Gender, socio-economics, and sexual orientation refer to socially constructed roles, behaviors, and expectations that are associated with being male or female. Particularly in industries with a male predominance, these have a considerable impact on how employees perceive discrimination and harassment. However, contemporary organizations have several flaws, such as various discriminations, less emphasis on human conscience, less on holistic development among all human beings, and the practice of loving-kindness and compassion. This paper clarifies how organizations, communities, and nations can promote to live a peaceful, cohesive, and harmonious life in society, country, and the world with the establishment of loving-kindness, compassion, equanimity, and sympathetic joy rather than having social differences in every sector of life such as gender discrimination, harassment, racial bullying, religion, and sexual orientation, and so on.
