12 Aug What kind of Asian are you?
After completing your required reading and videos for the week, please prepare a two to three page essay/personal reaction paper that should include:
- discuss the videos and readings you have explored
- explain the concepts of patriarchy and privilege as you understand it
- formulate your own opinion on the concepts, articulating your position on these issues
- in conclusion note how these two issues might affect your diversity assessment and quality improvement plan efforts, and identify at least two potential solutions to the dilemma; if you see no dilemma, explain why
The supplemental readings and videos this week are designed to show “real world” examples of inclusivity, tolerance, exclusivity, and divisiveness. While they are not required, they are certainly worth a read/look to understand how these concepts appear in real time. It’s one thing to read definitions and the opinions of others on the subjects. However, seeing scenarios and making your own assessments based on the real actions, reactions, and treatment of others, tends to stick with you long after any lecture or mere reading assignment ever could.Wild Thoughts: Negativities of Generalization & Stereotypes (Links to an external site.)Video: D.A.P.
