Please watch the following Ted Talk video, led by Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks, 12 minutes long.

Answer the following questions after watching the following video. Answers may be short and to the point, no long paragraphs are necessary for this assignment. Feel free to give longer responses for more substantive/personal questions toward the end.

7) What are the benefits of reaching out and understanding people that are "not like us?"

8) In what ways did America create the identity of national unity and a common understanding of being American? How does immigration impact this belief system?

9) How did the Jewish people, over the last couple thousands of years, retain their identity throughout all of their trials and tribulations? Is there merit in different cultures progressing their people's identity, religion, and beliefs to their future generations, thereby strengthening their identity and strength within a heterogeneous population like America?

10) Personal Commentary Question: Towards the end, he discusses "We the People," commenting on collective identity and responsibility throughout the nation. This in turn allows for a stronger identity, allowing for the more open acceptance of immigrants and people labeled/understood as "others."

In light of recent years with national headlines on immigration at the border, anti-Asian rhetoric throughout America due to the Covid-19 pandemic, long-standing and continued Jewish prejudice and stereotypes, etc...how do you think the people collectively can come together in the United States to limit, or naively perhaps eventually eliminate, intolerance toward others? How can collectively as "We the People" combat hate, bigotry, and discrimination where we see it, whether in-person/online/etc.? Feel free to discuss.
