Personal Reflections • How does it feel to belong to a group? • Have you ever had the opportunity to finally belong to a group you had wanted to join? What was the experience like? • Have you ever been excluded from a group? If so, how does it feel?
Personal Reflections • Provide examples from your own life when you have felt: • Powerless • Hopeless • Angry • That you just can’t win
The Police Officer’s Dilemma • Research from the University of Chicago • Participants shoot an armed target more quickly and more often when that target is Black, rather than White. However, participants decide not to shoot an unarmed target more quickly and more often when the target is White, rather than Black. In essence, participants seem to process stereotype-consistent targets (armed Blacks and unarmed Whites) more easily than counter-stereotypic targets (unarmed Blacks and armed Whites). • Try it for yourself - The Police Officer's Dilemma
Essential Questions – “A Class Divided” • Are we trained to discriminate or be prejudiced? • How do we learn prejudice? • What authority figures teach prejudice/ discrimination? • Can we/should we be colorblind?
Reaction “You judge people by what’s on the inside, not on the outside.”
