1 - Reality Construct Each individual observes the world through their own perceptions. Project Implicit is a non-profit organization and international collaboration between researchers who are interested in implicit social cognition – thoughts and feelings outside of conscious awareness and control. Their website has a series of test that are available to test your social attitudes. Instructions: First, take two of the Harvard Project Implicit (Links to an external site.) tests by going to the website then continue as a “guest.” After taking two of the tests, read through the material under the “Education” tab. Second, address the following in about three paragraphs (about 300 words): 1. Describe your results for each test. 2. Explain how your membership in different subcultures influenced your perceptions of others. Post your discussion by Day 3 of the week. Before beginning, carefully review the Writing Center's guide on Writing a Discussion Board Post. (Links to an external site.) Initial Post Checklist: · Did you use scholarly resources to support your work? · Did you discuss each area in the instruction and Grading Rubric? · Did you use APA? 2 -Dominant and Subordinate Group Membership This week you are exploring what it means to have privilege in all aspects of life, whether it be that you are able to enroll in school and take this course, or that you are able to walk, type, see, taste, or purchase/have access to groceries. Having privilege also means that you have power of some sort. Even having access to goods and services can be seen as a privilege. Discrimination can accompany power and privilege as those who have power and privilege may not be consciously aware of how they benefit from it. Instructions: First, Chapter 4 of The Ecology of Diversity (Kahn, 2015) has a “Reflections on Diversity” section near the end entitled, “Membership in Dominant and Subordinate Groups.” Follow the instructions provided in the chapter and complete the chart considering who are you are and what relationships you have with each type of group.

Consider race, socioeconomic status, education, and other associations identified in Week 1. 2. Have you been aware of the privileges in your life as you were growing up? Why or why not? 3. As you learn more about privilege, and as you examine your life, what do you find most interesting or surprising? 4. How has privilege shaped your life opportunities, life chances, experiences, etc.? Post your discussion by Day 3 of the week. Before beginning, carefully review the Writing Center's guide Writing a Discussion Board Post (Links to an external site.) .

murgatroydcrista

Assignment 1: Discussion—Community Structures The family is a major influence in a child’s life and continues to be so for much of a child’s life. However, as a child grows and has experiences outside of the home, many additional community and cultural influences come into play. Using the module readings, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet, research some community structures and functions and respond to the following: •Choose one structure (such as physical factors, economic factors, and social and personal factors) and one function (such as learning environment and support system). •Explain how your chosen structure and function might impact different cultural groups within a community. Evaluate how this structure and function might vary in degree of influence depending on various factors of the child such as age, gender, income status, etc. Remember that cultural groups consist of many different factors that shape one’s sense of group identity such as race, ethnicity, religion, income status, gender, occupations, and geographical locations. Write your initial response in a minimum of 300–400 words. Apply APA standards to citation of sources, including use of in-text citations and full references. Incorporate information from at least two academic sources to support your statements or ideas. Academic sources could include your textbook, required readings for this week, or academic journal articles found in the Argosy University online library. By Saturday, February 7, 2015, post your response to the appropriate Discussion Area. Through Wednesday, February 11, 2015, review and comment on at least two peers’ responses. Consider commenting on the following: •Do you agree with your peers’ explanation of the impact of their chosen structure and function on cultural groups within a community? Why or why not? •Suggest alternative explanations for your peers’ answers if their choice is different from yours. Give reasons for your recommendations. •Select a structure and function that is different from your earlier choice and explain its impact. .
