Scene to read · Equity, Resilience
Her cat, our rule
You are the volunteer moderator of a neighborhood forum, and you enforce its English-only rule.
In the community garden shed, a laptop shows the forum. Severin, a member, posted in Portuguese about a lost cat and was told to translate it. Sidonie, a longtime member, backs the rule. A few members have publicly called it exclusionary and want you replaced.
The scene
Severin: My cat post got flagged. Many neighbors read Portuguese, and she's still missing.
Sidonie: Rules only work when they apply to everyone. Otherwise nobody can check posts.
Severin: People are calling the rule exclusionary online. Will you keep enforcing it?
Sidonie: Bend it once and every post becomes a dispute. Your call, though.
The two questions
- 1What would you do about the rule and Severin's post, and what would you say to both of them?
- 2Describe a time you had to keep doing a difficult job while people criticized how you were doing it.
