Some people say, “I don’t discriminate. I treat everyone the same way!” And yet we’re not all the same, and belonging to a particular group may have a significant effect on an individual’s life chances.

With the help of two participants, Jane Elliott discusses height, skin colour, gender and age and exposes the rarely acknowledged advantages and disadvantages of being perceived as part of a particular ‘group’ – and perception is everything.

Jane makes clear that we are not and never will be ‘all the same’ and instead encourages us to accept, value and cherish our differences whilst ensuring equitable treatment under the law.
