Think on this the next time you observe discrimination taking place and ask yourself if you really want to sit back and let it happen. Even telling friends a joke isn’t funny or asking a co-worker not to use a particular slang term makes a difference towards ending discrimination in our society. If you answered “yes” to between five and eight questions then you may challenge discrimination consistently. It is likely that you recognise many different types of direct and indirect racism, and that you understand how discrimination against one person or group ends up hurting all people. You may not realise, however, that each time you are silent against discrimination you become part of the problem rather than the solution.
c. No effect on the current ratio. d. Not sufficient information to determine effect on the current
Why do you think she distinguishes between sexist remarks and racist remarks? Explain your answer. While I understand Fredia’s advice, I personally disagree with it. Using the adage “boys will be boys” is excusing and validating their bad behavior. A person that so easily dismisses their behavior as innocent probably has a hard time distinguishing between any inappropriate remarks, racist or otherwise.
The team found that these different approaches can create more issues within a team or group if you don’t understand that everyone has their own ‘right approach.’ To a rights and responsibilities lens approaching an issue head on and dealing with the conflict directly might not be fun, but it is necessary in order to move past the problem in the most efficient way possible. To another lens dealing with the problem might best be handled with a generic email. To a rights and responsibilities lens an email seems passive aggressive and inefficient as the individual that needs the message might not see it or know that it is directed at them. To another lens approaching the individual directly could be unneeded conflict. Understanding
The jurors cannot base their certainty on concrete evidence as the play indicates that very few facts are absolute because (quote). Instead, they must make up their minds based on the apparent likelihood of various events and on their own personal beliefs. Rose portrays that when it is difficult to maintain certainty about one’s beliefs, in this case the innocence or guilt of the boy, doubt is a reasonable and intelligent state of mind. This is proven by the 4th Juror and the 11th Juror when they say they “ … now have reasonable doubt”. Each of the jurors has a different degree of certainty about the opinions they hold, but cannot be completely sure, as the 9th Juror points out “He doesn’t say the boy is not guilty.
[1] Of the four mentioned, I would have to put myself in the compliants category at this time. Compliants are people who allow others to violate their personal boundaries, mainly because they don’t want to “hurt others’ feelings,” consequently, compliants have a tough time saying no to people, even when the request for time or attention is out of line or too demanding. [2]Saying “No” is becoming a real issue, especially in light of taking classes at this time. Which of the three would you say you have had the most success incorporating in your life? Great leaders are great managers…not just managers of projects or other people but mostly of themselves.
Many in society would view being consistent as a very good trait and something that everyone should do. When someone is always changing their mind it is usually looked down upon in society. People who are firm in their beliefs and don’t change their mind are looked as great people and are great for sticking what they believe in. If a public figure had a strong viewpoint on something, but changed their viewpoint they would receive great criticism and lose lots of fans. Emerson’s view on consistency is, once again, completely different form the average view from society.
In the case of Salem, conflict did bring out the worst in people. But it is not always the case; conflict is a natural part of any relationship, family or community. It is the ignoring of conflict or the sublimation of the importance of addressing disputes in a timely and honest manner that can lead to frustration and conflict bringing out the worst in
If a member of a minority group were to be offended by another individual then the minority group member must take stand for himself or herself instead of allowing that certain individual to walk away with these hate words. The best way to combat hate speech is to speak out against it. Not only will they set things clear for others but they’ve made an effort to stand up and clarify situations that they may find offensive such as racist stereotypes. Speech codes do not allow people to clarify situations; all speech codes do is silence individuals. These very individuals still do not know what’s wrong and right and will still have a mindset that will offend others in the future when they’re out of college.
I feel because I don’t or haven’t participated in race related issues in more than just that comfort zone, I would be considered a passive racist. The fact that I had to debate on whether I was either passive racist or an active antiracist, must mean that I am more passive, even though I want to become an active
