Social Integration: A Better Life
The lack of social integration, which is societal bonding and positive social acceptance and interaction, in our society nowadays has degraded to an alarming level. As research and surveys have proven, lack of social integration causes negative consequences on an individual, his family and the community. Social integration can be viewed from various aspects, such as politics, religion, racism and cultures.
We have been greatly blessed with a prosperous and peaceful country where three major ethic groups live and work in harmony. Although the likelihood for social conflict to erupt between the multi-racial people is high, we, as proud Malaysians, must strive hard and make great efforts to live in peace and harmony. This is attainable when there is tolerance, acceptance, understanding, care and communication among the people of different races and cultures in Malaysia.
Without achieving social integration, the marginalized will feel unaccepted and experience excessive negligence and polarization will result. At the same time, their opportunities to experience productive lives will be limited. This may result in high incidences of physical and mental illnesses in our society and as a consequence, suicide rates may skyrocket, thereby stunting the development of the country.
Hence, we should stand up and do something instead of moping around, wringing our hands helplessly, as actions are better than words. As individual members of our society, we should start by learning to respect each other’s cultures, religions, personal views etc., as this is the one of the essentials in sociology. Although we have freedom of speech, we should not abuse it by criticising others’ personal views and beliefs. Instead, we should think before we speak so that we will not offend others unnecessarily.
As a dutiful citizen, we can also aid the marginalized in building their self-esteem and positive self-acceptance. This can be done by spending quality time interacting and trying to understand them and also by demonstrating emotional and mental value of interaction for the neglected individuals. We must help to instill the ‘I am not alone’ concept in them to convince them that they are accepted and loved and that they are contributing to society as well. These people often rely on peer groups for motivation. Therefore, getting them to believe that they have equal participation in our society will benefit them mentally, emotionally and even physically.
More importantly, the government should introduce positive social integration to the young. This method is believed to be effective as the young children will learn quickly and there will not be any antagonism against the concept of social integration which is being introduced to them. If educated properly, they will grow to become people with proper values and morals. There should also be no segregation in schools either. Interschool camps and expeditions to spastic centers, orphanages or even charity homes will help in the desegregation of the pupils as they will learn to be comfortable in the presence and company of the less fortunate members of society.
Parents also play an important role in the development of children. Instead of discouraging their children from interacting with the marginalised, parents should be practising positive social integration to set a good example for their children to follow.
Moreover, the government should also do their bit in abolishing negative social integration in the country. They can organize campaigns to educate the people or found organizations to bring in positive social impact on the isolated groups of society. Besides, the government should also be considerate towards the disabled. Facilities aiding the disabled are found to be lacking in public areas. This shows that the disabled are also receiving a distinct negligence from the society and this must be remedied to better integrate them with society at large.
All in all, I hope that we will realize the dilemma shortly and hasten to amend it by starting to practise positive social integration today! :)
