Sensitizing

Increasing sensitivity

Description

Sensitizing involves raising awareness and fostering understanding about specific issues, conditions, or groups to prompt attitudinal or behavioral change. This strategy aims to overcome ignorance, prejudice, or apathy by providing targeted information, personal stories, or experiential learning. Its practical intent is to encourage empathy, reduce harmful practices, and promote inclusive or responsible actions, thereby remedying problems such as discrimination, environmental neglect, or unsafe behaviors through increased consciousness and informed decision-making.
