In recent years, the importance of "Diversity & Inclusion," which recognizes diverse values, has been called for in various fields.

That's right. An ideal society is undoubtedly one where everyone is respected regardless of gender, nationality, or presence of disabilities.

Yes. It is not an exaggeration to say that in companies as well, having diverse human resources active is the source of creating innovation.

Yes. However, it goes without saying that it is essential not just to gather diverse people, but to build a mechanism to leverage each person's strength.

Exactly. These efforts, combined with enlightenment in educational settings, should lead to a more tolerant society.

In the future society, we should perceive differences not as something to exclude, but as "richness."

That's true. Each of us has no choice but to act toward a society where everyone can live as themselves.
