University NewsSummary: Living in the globalized and multicultural world of the twenty-first century is both an opportunity and a challenge. It is an opportunity as it gives us an exposure to know and understand different sets of people, culture or community through direct and indirect means of association; at the same time it is a challenge as we have to confront individuals, groups or communities at several levels because we think that they are not like us. Intentionally or unknowingly, a social phenomenon is in work that constitutes disharmony at the many levels by making a binary opposition of us/them in the society in the terms of race, ethnicity, faith, and religion. This social phenomenon is occurring through a process which is called ‘othering’ in contemporary social science literature. This process of otherness has generated conflicts at many levels---from local to global - and there are many sites of it ranging from the personal to public life. – Reproduced
