Summary

"In Dignity for All, Fuller and change consultant Pamela Gerloff offer a concise, action-oriented guide to the concrete steps we can take to eradicate rankism. They focus on us as individuals - how we can recognize rankism in our own experiences, even in ourselves, and how, on a day-to-day basis, we can help others to see its insidious influence and work with them to create a better world." "Fuller and Gerloff offer advice on the best ways to forcefully but compassionately bring rankist behavior to light. They include examples of rankism in action as well as the often surprisingly simple things people have done to counteract it. Perhaps most importantly, they show how we can prevent rankism from taking root in the first place. Dignity for All will help you map out your own personal strategy for creating a society in which every human being feels truly valued and respected."--BOOK JACKET.
