This module was an extremely fascinating and captivating experience since I have learned a lot during this time. The most stood out for me was information about hate crimes and the frequency they happen even nowadays. I was surprised to learn that criminal justice reformers are experiencing a difficult time right now. Although there is widespread opposition to mass imprisonment, conventional wisdom puts up alternatives that are tragically insufficient (Tuerkheimer, 2017). Similar ambiguity may be seen in the state-by-state picture, with some jurisdictions moving toward less severe sentencing standards while others advance harsher punishments.
The concept of Institutionalizing Inclusion also caught my attention since this is an important subject to know more about. Different institutions have their systems and rules of management and existence inside it, and often, they might not be inclusive for everyone. For example, in the workplace, institutional inclusivity will be represented in a way that all employees can have equal rights and opportunities. It means that people of each race, ethnicity, and sexuality can feel included in the community and use all the benefits of the systems.
There are some effective ways how to achieve it by cultivating a culture of inclusion. This is necessary for society in order to provide inclusivity for everyone in many spheres of human life. For instance, understanding systems may help to highlight issues with inclusive growth, set objectives, and identify the institutional networks needed to achieve those objectives. Additionally, developing, coordinating, and creating institutions that control economic systems, both within and outside the system pillars, are necessary to achieve positive results. Systematic tracking of the inputs, outputs, and results of inclusive growth using new indicator frameworks might be helpful in that case. Those aspects are the most remarkable and fascinating to me regarding the information from the course.
