ALL MEANS ALL

REFLECTIVE ESSAY

The phrase "All means all" in the video's title is a general phrase that reinforces a
straightforward yet deep idea that captures the spirit of equality and inclusion. I am reminded
of this mantra's transforming potential when I think about it and how it may affect our
attitudes, behaviors, and the environment in which we live.

In contemplating the phrase, I found inspiration in its simplicity. It acts as a continual

reminder that diversity is inclusive and that no one should be turned away due to their talents,
socioeconomic background, gender, ethnicity, or religion especially in the education sector.
"All means all" pushes us to actively seek knowledge and respect of the variety that
contributes to our world's richness and vibrancy, as well as to actively work to dismantle the
walls that separate us.

With the first statement of the video, “Everyone is different.” I can already agree that we are
all unique and that we are diverse. We have our own strengths and weaknesses, potentials,
intelligence, and skills which gives us the courage and ability to do something better for
ourselves, to other people, and even to our whole community as well. In this manner,
adaptation should grow and foster in order to achieve a sense of inclusivity, and with that
everyone will be welcomed, appreciated, heard, and accepted.

In connection to this, learners with disabilities are special and simple. All that they are ever
wishing was for them to be treated normal like any other students and based on the video, it
was portrayed that these learners with disabilities are seem to be segregated, cannot receive
proper instruction and attention. They are constantly neglected and deprived of the education
that they deserve because of barriers and shortcomings of the institution itself.

Hence, it is indeed difficult still to incorporate the inclusion of special students in schools
because of multiple grounds, and one reason is the lack of resources. That is why it is a need
to improve the education system from its policies to the authorities in order to cater the
diverse needs of every student and that every one of them will feel safe and welcomed.

Therefore, "all means all" encourages us to have honest and compassionate discussions with
those whose lives and viewpoints are different from our own. These discussions offer a chance
to develop, learn, and question our presumptions. This is the least and first thing that we could
do to in order for inclusivity and equality to grow and foster. It’s also a message and a signal
for us to start amplifying our voices so that everyone could hear and everyone will be heard.

After all, quality education is a vital building block of an individual to be able to uphold
morals, potentials, and to improve his/her competencies and be the person the he wants with
pride and dignity. "All means all" is a continuous process of education, activism, and self-
discovery. It pushes us to face our prejudices, have deep discussions, and actively contribute
to the creation of a more just and inclusive society. Together, let’s make a world that no one
will be left behind, because in education, all means all.
