a-lesson-in-prejudice-and-discrimination
After watching the film, A Class Divided (http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/film/class-divid…), discuss your reaction to the film while answering the following questions:
- How did the negative and positive labels placed on the children and adults become self-fulfilling prophecies, or part of the “vicious cycle”?
- What does the blue eyes and brown eyes exercise reveal about the Sioux prayer Elliott mentions, “Help me not judge a person until I have walked in his shoes”? How might the strategies used in this experiment be applied to the workplace or to the classroom in an effort to reduce prejudice and discrimination?
