Hatred

What makes us who we are and how easy is it to hate? This is a question for us all as we are tested with personal identity, the right to free speech and the incitement to hate on the basis of skin colour, ethnicity, religion and ideology. Every day we see the effects of hatred. We see it on the news, on social media where violence, anger and hate speech has become normalised. We all face a responsibility as role models and guides in helping young people to deal with such a powerful and potentially dangerous emotion. In a multicultural society, how do you discuss hatred in classrooms which may contain students who have fled ethnic violence or persecution for any number of reasons? How do you introduce the topic to students who may come from ethnic, cultural or religious groups with strongly opposed views? How do you deal with the self-hatred which comes from internalising the prejudice of others? Restored in 4K for the first time.
