...paste your answers into the student response box for the assignment. • You must answer in complete sentences, using a short answer/paragraph format. 1. What is the title of the film you picked? A Class Divided 2. Why did you pick this film over the others offered? I chose this film mainly because of the strength of the message that was taught by Jane Elliott to her class. The controversial message in 1968 could have had a very horrible outbreak of speculation from the school district as well as the parents of the children she was teaching. Mrs. Elliott sought to open the eyes of her students by placing them in an experiment where their eye color is a discriminating factor, I was intrigued because they were so young and I wasn’t sure if they would understand the meaning of what Mrs. Elliott was trying to teach. I was very wrong in my assumptions of course. 3. What is/are the central message(s) of this documentary/fictional film? Be specific. Use examples from the film to support your choice. A Class Divided has several messages, primarily in regards to discrimination and the thought process behind it. Jane Elliott uses eye color as a discriminatory factor and a way to divide her classroom for her experiment. Mrs. Elliott sought to teach children...

...Organizational Behavior Worksheet “A Class Divided”: The Blue Eyes/Brown Eyes Experiment Jane Elliott Name: Ashley Salazar 1. What are some ethical considerations of this experiment? In the video, the teacher, Jane Elliott, started an experiment with her classroom pointing out that blue eyed people are superior and then she changed the subject saying that it was the brown eyed people that are better. Although she had very good reasons to start this experiment, there were some ethical considerations. One of them was not letting the children know what they were going to be put through. Elliott even mentioned in an interview that not any kid can be put through this type of situation because it can cause a negative effect on them. When the experiment was being done on the children they immediately went from being playful six year olds to discriminative six year olds. Some of them went through bullying, and the students that were “inferior” did not perform well on their classwork. 2. Do you believe that everyone is discriminated against? I do believe that everyone is discriminated against because society always finds an excuse to do so. Society picks on anything they don't feel fits in. People discriminate when someone is too fat, too skinny, too tall, too short, etc. It’s not just about the skin color anymore, people always find a way to make someone else feel inferior. 3. Recall the first time that you were discriminated against. How did it inform how you see...

...are several studies that help people to understand how people act. Jane Elliot did an exercise in which she divided the class in two groups. This exercise was unethical because it violates the principle E, respect for people's right and dignity, in ethics. According to the American Psychological Association, Principle E says that we should respect the dignity and worth of all people equally. We have to respect their culture and any differences (American Psychological Association). In the video of Elliot, this principle gets violated because Elliot is not respecting the difference among them. In this case, she does not respect that the children have different eyes color. This study is unethical because it also creates rancor among children and plays with the feelings of children. In the video, children expressed their feelings toward the experiment and they felt horrible. Furthermore, it causes psychological and emotional harm since they were not told that it was an experiment (Smithsonian). This documentary was harsh and heartbreaking to see how people could violate an important principle and their consequences of doing it. This experiment would have been ethical and harmless if Elliott would have told the children that it was an experiment beforehand. Then, after that ask them how they felt and talk about that people who are discriminated feel the same way too. This was an evil form of doing an experiment. Elliott´s idea was interesting and successful. She forgot that she was doing...

...SOCI111-87N-N1 23-Mar-12 Written Assignment #1 – Discrimination After watching the video, A Class Divided, I recalled seeing the program years ago. Despite remembering the film from 1985, I found myself taking away a deeper lesson than I did back then. This time around, the program taught me that it doesn’t take long to marginalize a group of people simply by playing upon a particular shared attribute. When all the students were told they could throw the collars away at the end of the two-day exercise, watching young Brian wrestle with the collar… twisting and attempting to tear it to shreds… was very powerful. He had been on top, and then on the bottom and, in the end, he seemed very determined to destroy the visible remains of what had been a powerful lesson. As a young, white boy born into unearned privilege, it was very likely the first time he felt the sting of discrimination, and I felt him trying to make sure he wouldn’t experience it again. Surprising to me was K.R., the outspoken blue-eyed woman in the adult workshop. She was the epitome of someone oppressed. Angry, defiant, rude, and uncooperative, she was determined to somehow claw her way to the top of that class, to be seen and heard. Yet Jane Elliott knew exactly which rungs of the ladder to remove to keep K.R. down at the bottom, just as white people have done to people of color for decades and beyond. I don’t believe...

... Essay Report Socialization Socialization is the process by which people learn the characteristics of their group. It is how we learn the way of society. It is the life time process that has begun since the day we were born. In this process we acquire the knowledge, skills, attitudes, values, norms, and actions that appropriate to society. These are influenced by the agents of socialization which are family, education and peers. The affect of socialization can be seen in A Class Divided by Jane Elliot. She influences the lives of people by showing what it feels to be discriminated. She uses the agents of socialization to teach these people. Family The family is the first and most important part of socialization. The family influences who we are and who we will become. Although the family is not seen in A Class Divided, it is known that they still had an influence. During Elliots experiment with the student it is known that none of the parents had objected to what was being taught to their children. The families were also helping in this process by not encouraging discrimination. Another factor that we see is that the students that had gone through the process now had their own families. They were teaching their children about equality and about discrimination. Education Education and school is another important role in the socialization process. The time that we spend in this...

...In 1968 Jane Elliott was a teacher who used an experiment to teach her third grade students about discrimination, racism, and prejudice. Mrs. Elliott felt that after Martin Luther King was murdered, she needed to convey a message to her class concerning race. She separated the class into groups according to their eye color. The reasoning behind the experiment was to show tolerance for other races. In 1985, she used the same concept for employees of the Iowa State Correctional Facility. Most of these people already had preconceived issues concerning race and gender equality. The results of the 1985 study have been just as surprising as the 1968 study. My reactions after watching the students ranged from empathy, tolerance to compassion. The innocence of a childhood before racism can be embedded is what I saw. The idea that training begins at home, therefore hatred for others is learned there. If parents were to teach love and understanding of others, then the experiment would have had a different tone. The kids would not have felt isolated from their peers. However, in 1968, America was in filled with hate and a lack of understanding for others. Most of the children did not understand what...

...Ch r i s t i n e Ro e ll Intercultural Training with Films ilms are a great medium to use not only to practice English, but also to facilitate intercultural learning. Today English is a global language spoken by people from many countries and cultural backgrounds. Since culture greatly impacts communication, it is helpful for teachers to introduce lessons and activities that reveal how different dialects, forms of address, customs, taboos, and other cultural elements influence interaction among different groups. Numerous films contain excellent examples of intercultural communication and are highly useful resources for teachers. Additional reasons for teachers to incorporate films in class and encourage their students to watch movies in English include: • Films combine pleasure and learning by telling a story in a way that captures and holds the viewer’s interest. • Films simultaneously address different senses and cognitive channels. For example, spoken language is supported by visual elements that make it easier for students to understand the dialogues and the plot. • Students are exposed to the way people actually speak. 2 2010 N u m b e r F • Films involve the viewers, appeal to their feelings, and help them empathize with the protagonists. • DVDs usually come with subtitles in English, which facilitates understanding and improves reading skills. After discussing the importance of teaching intercultural communication and suggesting films that match specific cultural...

However, quite often, it is not quite that obvious. Whenever we encounter something that seems strange or different, we will feel some degree of discomfort. How we respond to that feeling is a gauge of how ethnocentric we are about it. Let’s suppose that you are entertaining a business client from France. You take him to a very fine french restaurant where he looks over the menu very carefully, then asks the waiter if he or she, by chance, has cheval available. The waiter shakes his head and explains that it is not served in America. Your client becomes somewhat upset and tells you that a truly fine restaurant would serve “proper” cuisine, and that he was very disappointed with American hospitality so far. He eventually settles for the prime rib, but is ill-tempered for the rest of the evening. The next morning, he leaves for France without consummating the expected business deal. Your boss asks you what happened, and you explain that the client was upset because the restaurant didn’t serve something called cheval. Your boss nearly chokes on his morning coffee and asks, “You mean he actually...
