A Stage Model of Developing an Inclusive Community

The Community Inclusion model described in this paper characterizes the stages through which a diverse group of people living within the same community develops into an inclusive community. The model is described in terms of its usefulness in the assessment of a community’s current stage of inclusion, and determining the interventions needed to address lack of inclusion. Examples from Sweden (EU) and the United States (USA) will be used to demonstrate how the model works. Particular focus will be on the relationship between stage of inclusion and collective community action for economic development.Inclusion, cultural psychology, monocultural, symbolic difference, critical mass

Data dependence results of a new multistep and S-iterative schemes for contractive-like operators

In this paper, we prove that convergence of a new iteration and S-iteration can be used to approximate to the fixed points of contractive-like operators. We also prove some data dependence results of this new iteration and S-iteration schemes for contractive-like operators. Our results extend and improve some known results in the literature.Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1211.570
