1.Importantly, prejudice is not prejudging. People can be prejudiced when knowing people from another group. Prejudice simply means hatred or dislike of an entire group of people. It is very important to understand this because often people who are prejudiced have a very hard time changing their mind and continue to have negative feelings even if they interact and get to know those in the group that they may dislike. Class, what do you think are some of the steps that we could take as a society to reduce prejudice/ Do you think that there are some people who may never change prejudicial attitudes? 2.Yes, definitely we are not prejudiced when we are born nor do we care common prejudices. I always found it really interesting when my kids were small, they noticed differences among people and would happily call them out, your hair looks different, your skin looks different, etc. But ,while they openly discussed differences they saw, those differences meant nothing to them--they had not been socialized to have certain expectations about certain groups (stereotypical thinking). In other words, hey you look like this I look like that but who cares. It often makes me stop and think because as adults we are often careful to not call out difference or pretend like we don't notice it. Interestingly, a lot of research on prejudice actually says that if we admit to seeing differences and think about how that might affect how we interact with others, we actually do the most in society to reduce it. Class, do you think that there is anyone in society who is completely free of prejudice or stereotypical thinking? Why might it be difficult to confront one's own biases? Do you think that this is an important step in improving inclusivity in our society? .

Sterotyping,aggression,prejudice
This document discusses stereotyping, prejudice, and discrimination. It defines stereotypes as beliefs about groups, prejudice as negative feelings toward groups, and discrimination as negative actions toward groups. These concepts are related but can occur independently. Stereotypes are overgeneralized beliefs that ignore individual differences. Prejudice evolves from stereotypes and involves negative judgments of others without knowledge of facts. Discrimination occurs when negative beliefs and attitudes result in negative actions against individuals due to their group membership, such as in hiring discrimination. The document also discusses ways to counter prejudice, such as through education, increased contact between groups, and media responsibility.
ten things (about diversity and inclusion)
Diversity means difference, and difference exists in relationships between people, not within individuals. True inclusion requires an organization to have the capacity to include different perspectives, identities, and ways of thinking and doing. It also requires sharing power in a dialogic relationship where no one party has to do all the accommodating. Clarity on concepts like diversity, difference, and inclusion is important for organizations seeking to realize the potential value and benefits of a more diverse workforce and inclusive culture.
psych assignment journal.docx
This journal entry discusses confirmation bias and how it can negatively impact decision making. Confirmation bias is the tendency to seek out and give more weight to information that confirms preexisting beliefs, and ignore or undermine contradictory information. The entry provides an example of how confirmation bias can cause investors to make poor decisions by only seeking out information that confirms their views on an investment and failing to consider different perspectives. Overcoming confirmation bias requires open-mindedly seeking out contradictory opinions to make better informed choices. The entry concludes that confirmation bias limits opportunities by focusing only on views that agree with preexisting opinions.
ten things (april 2012)
Diversity means difference, and difference takes many forms including identity, cognitive, affective, and behavioral diversity. Diversity is relational and exists between people, not within individuals. When difference is included through inclusion, it generates change and is a catalyst. However, inclusion requires sharing power dialogically and being willing to accommodate difference. When done effectively, inclusion can foster creativity, activism, and provide value through competitive advantage and innovation.
Analysis Caring For Your Introvert
The document discusses how society often stereotypes and marginalizes introverted people who behave differently than the societal norm. It notes that from a young age, introverted children are seen as "different beings" and removed from social situations even though having introverted traits does not mean a person cannot socialize. The document argues that social prejudices must evolve to integrate all people, understand differences in tastes and interests, and foster empathy, respect and understanding toward all members of society rather than ostracizing those who are not extroverted.
Chapter Nine: Diversity and Communication
Cultural competence is the ability to interact effectively with people from different cultures. It can be developed by valuing diversity, respecting different cultures, and avoiding stereotypes. Effective communication involves focusing on facts, adapting styles to different listeners or generations, understanding body language, and giving/receiving criticism constructively. Strong personal relationships are built on emotional intelligence, resolving tensions, managing conflicts wisely, and prioritizing one's own happiness and safety.

Social Norms
Social norms are powerful and influence all members of society. They arise as an informal way to reduce misunderstanding between people from diverse backgrounds who must interact. Once formed, social norms have incredible staying power because people generally follow them to avoid inconveniencing others or being seen as deviant. There are many theories about why social norms form and how they spread through a society.
4-Managing-PERSONALITY-DIFFERENCES (1).pptx
This document discusses personality differences and provides steps to improve relationships and communication between people with different personalities. It emphasizes treating all people with respect, avoiding stereotypes, and recognizing the strengths that diversity provides. It then outlines four steps to improve relationships: 1) talk through issues privately and constructively, 2) understand other perspectives by putting yourself in their shoes, 3) be willing to compromise, and 4) be tolerant of unavoidable personality differences. Valuing diversity and following these steps can lead to better creativity, decision-making, and talent recruitment.
Get Out of the Box
The document summarizes The Arbinger Institute's book "Leadership and Self-Deception" which discusses how people have a tendency to view others as objects rather than fully as people ("in the box") and how this hinders collaboration and productivity. It notes that getting "in the box" involves betraying one's own sense of how one should treat others and then justifying this irrational behavior. Addressing this issue can help improve discretionary behavior, collaboration, creativity, innovation and leadership within teams.

Ip cchapter2 thornock
The document discusses the development of self and how it arises from interactions with others. It states that family members generally have the first influence through their direct definitions of us, our reflected appraisals of their views of us, and the identity scripts they unconsciously pass on. These early interactions shape our attachment styles and influence how we see ourselves and approach relationships. The document also discusses how cultural and social forces like gender roles, racism, and heterosexism can influence our views of ourselves and others.
Social Thinking Parent Forum | The Rashi School
Social skills involve effectively interacting and adapting to others across social situations. Social thinking allows people to consider others' viewpoints, emotions, and intentions. For those with social challenges, these skills must be explicitly taught. Social thinking occurs through our thoughts, words, and actions as we interact with people. Developing social thinking requires vocabulary like whole body listening and perspective taking to understand others.

Social Conformity Essay
This document discusses the concepts of social conformity and individuality. It begins by defining conformity as "yielding to group pressures" and describes some common types of conformity like compliance, internalization, and identification. It then summarizes key classic conformity studies by Sherif and Asch that demonstrated people's tendency to conform to group norms and pressures. The document concludes by arguing that individuality should be valued over conformity and that being a non-conformist takes bravery. Conformity may provide short-term acceptance but can lead to loss of personal identity, while individuality is rare and sets influential people apart.

This week I have chosen to discuss common heat sources identified by the NFPA in being common causes of ignition in home fires. The NFPA published the
Home Structure Fires
report in October of 2019 that outlines these fires and supports the conclusions with data from 2018. The following heat sources were listed as common denominators in home structure fires:
Cooking
Heating
Electrical distribution and lighting
Intentional
Smoking materials
Home fires are responsible for seventy-nine percent of fire fatalities and seventy-three percent of fire injuries (Ahrens, 2019). These ignition sources have proven to be the most prevalent forms of starting these types of fires. In addition, it was reported that most fire fatalities were males over the age of 55 (Ahrens, 2019). These fires are generally occurring in the colder months between November and March during the hours of 5 PM to 8 PM when, “… many people are coming home from work, are preparing dinner, or are engaging in other household activities” (Ahrens, 2019).
These ignition sources are common in many households. Cooking fires can vary greatly from stove tops, ovens, grease, toasters, empty coffee pots on heaters, tea pots, etc. Smoking materials, however, are isolated to pipes, cigarettes, and their associated equipment (lighters, matches, etc.). Heating sources, just like cooking fires, have several different ignition source types to include furnaces, stoves (pellet, gas, oil, etc.), chimney ignition, etc. Electrical distribution and lighting malfunctions or surges caused roughly 7 percent of home structure fires and accounted for ten percent of residential deaths (Ahrens, 2019). Lastly, intentionally set residential fires accounted huge amounts of property loss and resulted in 380 fatalities, sixty four percent were linked to suicide (Ahrens, 2019).
It is critical that during home fire safety visits and non-emergent medical calls that fire departments take the time to address these matters with their citizens. Most fire deaths occurred while victims were asleep, are physically disabled (mostly geriatric), or impaired by alcohol or drugs (Ahrens, 2019). These fires are preventable and should be addressed in the public setting when appropriate.

Why or why not?
2. In civil trials, the witnesses are usually deposed before trial. Attorneys for both sides are present at the deposition and ask all the questions that they wish.

1.Importantly, prejudice is not prejudging. People can be prejudiced.docx
- 1. 1.Importantly, prejudice is not prejudging. People can be prejudiced when knowing people from another group. Prejudice simply means hatred or dislike of an entire group of people. It is very important to understand this because often people who are prejudiced have a very hard time changing their mind and continue to have negative feelings even if they interact and get to know those in the group that they may dislike. Class, what do you think are some of the steps that we could take as a society to reduce prejudice/ Do you think that there are some people who may never change prejudicial attitudes? 2.Yes, definitely we are not prejudiced when we are born nor do we care common prejudices. I always found it really interesting when my kids were small, they noticed differences among people and would happily call them out, your hair looks different, your skin looks different, etc. But ,while they openly discussed differences they saw, those differences meant nothing to them--they had not been socialized to have certain expectations about certain groups (stereotypical thinking). In other words, hey you look like this I look like that but who cares. It often makes me stop and think because as adults we are often careful to not call out difference or pretend like we don't notice it. Interestingly, a lot of research on prejudice actually says that if we admit to seeing differences and think about how that might affect how we interact with others, we actually do the most in society to reduce it. Class, do you think that there is anyone in society who is completely free of prejudice or stereotypical thinking? Why might it be difficult to confront one's own biases? Do you think that this is an important step in improving inclusivity in our society?
