Discrimination and it's types ppt !!!!!!
This document discusses diversity in the world and defines prejudice, stereotyping, discrimination, and the harms they cause. It provides examples of direct and indirect discrimination based on attributes like age, disability, gender, race, and religion. Discrimination can negatively impact people physically, emotionally, socially, and financially by causing anxiety, depression, loss of interest and withdrawal. It also lowers productivity in businesses and societies by creating disgruntled and distrustful employees. Strong laws exist to protect against discrimination, and prevention requires open-minded parenting, education of children about appreciating differences, and fostering respect for all people.

Prejudice and discrimination
This document discusses prejudice, discrimination, and ways to reduce prejudice. It defines prejudice as a negative attitude towards a social group. Types of prejudice mentioned include racism, sexism, classism, homophobia, and religious prejudice. Discrimination is defined as actions against someone due to characteristics like race, age, gender, religion, or sexual orientation. The document also discusses different types of discrimination and provides examples. Finally, it discusses ways that psychologists have found to potentially reduce prejudice, such as changing group boundaries and social influence.
Race & Ethnicity Mini-Lecture
This document discusses the differences between race and ethnicity. Race is based on biological characteristics like skin color and hair, while ethnicity is based on cultural characteristics like shared ancestry, culture, and place of origin. It also discusses myths about race, such as the idea that any race is superior. Minority groups experience unequal treatment compared to dominant groups. Prejudice is an attitude while discrimination is an action. Theories of prejudice include frustration-aggression and the authoritarian personality. Global patterns of intergroup relations include segregation, assimilation, and multiculturalism. The document then discusses race and ethnic relations in the US for various groups such as Europeans, Latinos, African Americans, Asian Americans, and Native Americans.
Discrimination
This document discusses various forms of discrimination including racism, sexism, discrimination based on socioeconomic status, appearance, sexual orientation, and mental illness. It provides definitions and examples of different types of racism, sexism, and bullying. It also summarizes Jane Elliott's famous "Blue Eyes/Brown Eyes" experiment on discrimination and discusses how discrimination can be addressed in the classroom through education and setting a positive example of inclusion and respect.
Race and ethnicity
Racial and ethnic groups are socially constructed categories distinguished by physical characteristics. While biology plays a role through phenotypes like skin color, race is also a social construct. Ethnicity refers more to cultural traits like language and religion. Minority groups have less power and control than dominant groups in a society. Stereotypes are exaggerated beliefs about groups that often develop from fear or a threat to the dominant group. Prejudice involves negative attitudes toward others based on characteristics. Discrimination involves actions that exclude or oppress groups. Racism includes beliefs of inherent superiority and the subjugation of others. Integration aims for equality, while assimilation requires abandoning one's own culture. Cultural pluralism values diversity within a society.

Intersectionality
Presented by Markus Ihalainen, from the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR), at the World Agroforestry Centre (ICRAF) in Nairobi, Kenya, on August 29, 2017.
Elements of Culture
Culture refers to the total lifestyle of a people including ideas, values, knowledge, behaviors, and material objects they share. It shapes perception of reality and determines aspects of life like food, clothing, music, games, and expressing emotions. The document then discusses key elements that make up culture like knowledge, social norms, values, beliefs, and technology/material objects. It provides examples of each element. The document also discusses perspectives on Filipino culture, noting influences from Malays, Chinese, Indians, Spanish, and Americans. It describes the belief system and value system of Filipinos.
Stereotypes
Stereotypes are used in media texts to quickly identify characters and aid audience understanding. Stereotypes are exaggerated representations that focus on certain aspects to represent dominant ideologies. In media, stereotypes are simplistic "types" rather than complex characters, and are usually negative representations making broad assumptions. Stereotypes often develop where there are power imbalances in society, such as between genders or social groups. Media institutions dominated by certain demographics may encourage certain stereotypes. The document discusses why stereotypes are used in media, what makes a stereotype, and how audience, genre, and context influence representation of social groups.
Discrimination
This document discusses stereotypes, discrimination, and minority groups in Turkey. It provides examples of common stereotypes about various nationalities. It then explains that Turkey has ethnic, linguistic, and religious minority groups, and has also taken in over 3 million Syrian refugees due to the civil war. The document outlines some of the discrimination faced by Kurds, Romani people, Armenians/Greeks, and refugees in Turkey, especially in employment, education, health, accommodation, and access to services. It emphasizes that all people deserve equal rights and a peaceful life.
Introduction to Cultural Diversity
Cultural diversity is the term used to describe many different cultures co-existing within one larger culture. The fact that we can eat so many different types of cuisine in the United States is because people from other countries have immigrated to the US and brought aspects of their own cultures with them. This means that under the umbrella of American culture there are actually many different ethnic traditions being practiced in communities around the country.
As an abstract concept, cultural diversity is actually pretty straightforward; however, finding a concrete definition of culture can be a little bit tricky. This is because the definition of culture can change depending on who's using it and the context in which it's being used. For example, some people use the term to describe the creative arts, like dancing or painting, while others use it in a much broader context to refer to all of the traditions, practices, and belief systems of a particular population of people. For the purposes of this lesson, we are going to look at culture as the latter of these two definitions.
Gender identity and sexual orientation powerpoint
The document defines key terms related to gender identity and sexual orientation such as gender identity, gender expression, transgender, cisgender, and more. It then discusses main points about the LGBTQ community including health risks faced by lesbians from behaviors like smoking and the negative impacts of discrimination. It also covers bold ideas around prohibiting employment discrimination and perspectives on schools providing more support for LGBTQ students.
Gender role
1) Gender roles are behavioral and social norms that associate certain behaviors with particular sexes in a society. Traditionally, masculinity was viewed as powerful and in control while femininity was nurturing and relationship-focused.
2) In the past, gender roles were more strictly divided, with men as breadwinners and women as homemakers. Now, roles are less rigid as more women enter the workforce in a variety of fields.
3) However, gender discrimination and stereotyping still exist and negatively impact human resource practices and employee performance if not properly addressed. HR managers have a role in developing equitable workplace policies.
Lesson 9 Stereotypes
The document discusses stereotypes, providing definitions and examples. It notes that stereotypes are oversimplified ideas or images about groups that are widely accepted. Examples given include stereotypes about different ethnicities, social classes, religions, and sexes. The document suggests stereotypes arise from a lack of exposure to other groups and from media portrayals. Specific stereotypes listed about Americans, Chinese, and Chinese and American stereotypes of each other are provided to illustrate. Partners are prompted to discuss how stereotypes affect relationships between countries and the importance of looking past stereotypes.
Intersectionality
This document provides an overview of intersectionality. It defines intersectionality as a concept that describes how systems of oppression like racism, sexism, homophobia and transphobia intersect and cannot be examined separately. The key aspects are:
- Intersectionality considers that people have multiple identity factors like gender, race, class etc. and examines how these intersect.
- It was coined by Kimberlé Crenshaw to argue that a straight white woman and a non-heterosexual Black woman cannot have their experiences compared and feminism must consider differences.
- Intersectionality calls for recognizing privilege and considering how to accommodate those without privilege for true equality.
Race and Ethnicity
The document discusses race, ethnicity, and racism. It defines race as a socially constructed category based on shared biological traits, and ethnicity as a shared cultural heritage including common ancestors, language, and religion. It notes that minorities within a society can be subjected to disadvantages and discrimination. Specific examples provided include discrimination faced by Filipino Muslims and certain ethnic tribes in the Philippines in terms of education, employment, health, and shelter. Theoretical perspectives on racial and ethnic inequality are also summarized, including structural functional, symbolic interaction, and social conflict approaches.
Discrimination
Discrimination is defined as treating someone unequally or as inferior based on characteristics such as race, sex, age, etc. There are several types of discrimination including direct, indirect, and associative discrimination. Discrimination can be unlawful, such as racial or gender discrimination, or non-unlawful like favoritism. Discrimination negatively impacts individuals physically and emotionally and can result in health issues, isolation, and psychological distress. Prevention of discrimination requires education, respect for diversity, and setting good examples that appreciate differences between people.
PREJUDICE AND DISCRIMINATION
Prejudice refers to preconceived, usually unfavorable judgments toward people or groups based on characteristics such as gender, race, religion or nationality. Early psychological research in the 1920s viewed prejudice as natural and sought to prove white supremacy, but perspectives changed in the 1930s-1940s with concerns about anti-Semitism. Prejudice and discrimination can occur on the basis of race, gender, social class, religion, age, language, nationality, species and other attributes, and controversies often arise regarding topics like nationalism, racism, classism and multiculturalism.
Racial discrimination (IT)
Racial discrimination occurs when someone is treated less favorably than others because of their race, ethnicity, or national origin. Examples include offensive online posts or comments targeting someone's race. Laws against racial discrimination and hatred aim to ensure equal treatment and opportunities for all backgrounds. A Racial Discrimination Act can protect against discrimination in areas like employment, education, services, and public places. It also covers harassment and unfair treatment at work due to someone's race. While allowing free communication, the goal is to balance rights and prevent racial hatred. Those experiencing discrimination can address it directly or report it, and everyone can work to prevent discrimination by promoting equal opportunities.

Chapter 6: Gender Identity/Differences
March 1, 2011
Gender Identity
Gender identity refers to a person's internal sense of their own gender, whether male, female, neither, or both. It is distinct from biological sex and gender roles. Gender identity is self-identified and involves both inherent and environmental factors. Gender roles refer to societal expectations of masculine and feminine characteristics and behaviors. There are various gender identities including cisgender, transgender, non-binary, and agender.
Ethnocentrism
The document defines ethnocentrism as viewing one's own group or culture as superior to others, as coined by William Graham Sumner. It discusses how ethnocentrism leads to stereotyping of outgroups and provides examples of ethnocentrism in various countries and cultures, including issues it can cause in the workplace when concerning language.
Gender Identity & Sexual Orientation
This document discusses gender identity and sexual orientation. It defines key terms like sex, gender, transgender, transsexual, and sexual orientations. It notes that gender identity can differ from biological sex and may change over time. Transgender people's gender identities and presentations do not fit traditional norms. Transsexual people live as the opposite gender and may undergo medical procedures. Coming out is challenging but liberating. Homophobia, heterosexism, and transphobia promote discrimination against LGBTQ people. The document raises questions about defining gender and reducing discrimination.
Gender Theories
The document discusses theories of gender, sexuality, and feminism. It defines sex as biological traits, gender as social roles and behaviors, and sexuality as sexual preference. It then covers gender theories including queer theory, the history of feminism through waves such as first wave focusing on rights and suffrage, second wave examining gender as social construction, and third wave addressing failures of the second wave. It also discusses concepts like voyeurism, scopophilia, objectification, and the male gaze in relation to sexuality and creation. Post-feminism and other forms like black feminism and Marxist feminism are also summarized.
Culture and gender ppt
Culture shapes gender roles and expectations through social norms transmitted across generations. Gender roles define different behaviors for males and females, such as domestic responsibilities typically falling more to girls and use of tools more common for boys. Women are still underrepresented in high-status jobs globally, though views on gender roles vary across cultures and are changing over time as cultures evolve.
Race presentation
This document discusses definitions of race, ethnicity, and nationality. It notes that race is socially constructed based on physical characteristics and perceived similarities. Ethnicity is also socially constructed but is defined internally based on shared origins, history, and cultural aspects. Nationality refers to sovereignty and unity within political boundaries. The document provides examples to illustrate differences and overlaps between these concepts. It also discusses how power dynamics influence who gets to define these terms and how identities are perceived.
Cultural Differences and Unconscious Bias: An Introduction to Becoming Cultur...
This document provides an overview of a seminar on becoming culturally competent. The seminar aims to examine unconscious bias and its impact in academic environments. It explores how culture is defined and how values and assumptions differ across cultures. It also discusses how unconscious bias can influence interactions with students, faculty and staff from different backgrounds. Finally, it suggests some initial steps individuals can take to improve their cultural competence, such as educating themselves about cultural differences and listening more than talking.
Prejudice (Social Psychology)
- Prejudice involves negative prejudgments or feelings toward others based on their group membership rather than their individual attributes. It can stem from emotional, social, cognitive, and personality factors.
- Stereotypes are overgeneralized beliefs about groups. They can be positive or negative and become problems when incorrectly applied to individuals. Stereotype threat describes how awareness of negative stereotypes can undermine performance.
- The fundamental attribution error involves explaining others' behaviors based mainly on internal factors rather than external situational influences. This satisfies the just-world hypothesis that people get what they deserve.
Prejudice
Prejudice has cognitive, affective, and behavioral components known as stereotypes, prejudice, and discrimination. Stereotypes are beliefs about social groups while prejudice consists of negative feelings toward those groups. Discrimination involves differential actions toward group members. Gender stereotypes see women as kind but dependent and men as assertive but insensitive. Prejudice and discrimination stem from threats to social groups, such as threats to status, resources, or self-esteem. Changing attitudes requires addressing the underlying emotions that drive prejudice.

Social Prejudice
This document presents a summary of a presentation on social prejudice. It defines prejudice as a negative attitude toward members of a group based on their membership in that group rather than individual characteristics. It discusses different types of social prejudice like racism, sexism, and homophobia. It explores social and emotional sources of prejudice, like unequal status and social identity or negative emotions. The document also examines how prejudice can affect the workplace by demotivating employees and reducing efficiency and productivity.
Prejudice
The document defines and discusses different types of prejudice found in The Merchant of Venice, including racial, religious, and sexism. It provides examples of prejudices exhibited by main characters like Antonio, Portia, and Shylock. The roots of prejudice discussed include hatred, vengeance, differences, and societal opinion. Key events where prejudices first appear are also outlined, such as Portia's initial discussion of suitors and Antonio's meeting with Shylock. The consequences of prejudices portrayed are that Jews are seen as stereotypical villains, and Shylock is ultimately punished and forced to convert to Christianity.

Cultural discrimination (1)
This document discusses various forms of cultural discrimination faced by indigenous peoples, immigrants, and religious minorities. It provides examples of how indigenous groups in countries like Mexico, Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador, and the United States face social exclusion, lack of access to jobs and services, forced displacement, and violence against their leaders. Immigrants may experience beatings, torture, unlawful detention, and exploitation. Religious groups encounter discrimination in access to education, healthcare, public office, and some face arrest or death due to their beliefs. Discrimination also occurs against atheists through imposition of religion by governments, intrusion of faith in politics, social rejection, and religious content on news programs.
Managing Diversity at Workplace
The document discusses diversity and managing diversity in the workplace. It defines diversity as individual acceptance and respect of differences. It lists various elements of diversity including age, gender, ethnicity, and provides ways to incorporate diversity such as recruiting from diverse talent pools. Managing diversity is defined as planning and implementing practices to maximize the advantages of diversity. The benefits of diversity in the workplace include improved customer service, employee morale, and creativity. Challenges of ignoring diversity include conflicts and loss of productivity.
Bradford mvsu fall 2012 so 213 prejudice ch 13
Prejudice is defined as a negative attitude toward people in a group based solely on their membership in that group. It has three components - cognitive, emotional, and behavioral. Stereotypes are generalizations about groups that assign traits to all members. Contact with outgroup members tends to reduce prejudice when it occurs in a context of mutual interdependence, common goals, equal status, and supportive social norms of equality. Discrimination refers to unjustified negative actions toward a group. Prejudice can be measured explicitly through surveys or implicitly through reaction time tests. The cognitive and implicit emotional components of prejudice can operate automatically through stereotypes while the behavioral component involves conscious discrimination.
Stereotypes And Prejudices
The document discusses different types of prejudices including those based on age, religion, ethnicity, appearance, disabilities, race, sex, and economic class. It notes that race is a social construct rather than a scientific one, as genetic variations between human populations are minor. The document asks readers to consider experiences they have had with assumptions, stereotypes, and how they felt they should have been treated in those situations.
Discrimination at work
This document discusses various types of discrimination that can occur in the workplace, including gender discrimination through stereotypes about jobs, salaries, pregnancy issues, and sexual harassment. It also covers racial and nationality discrimination based on color and geographic origin, as well as age discrimination against both young and old workers, and other forms of discrimination based on sexual orientation, religion, appearance, and social status.
Understanding Stereotypes for Cognitive Design
As part of my Cognitive Science class this last Spring, I presented an overview of how stereotypes influence human behavior. This topic is especially useful to cognitive designers - a category of designers who regularly incorporate findings from cognitive science to enrich the development of new products and experiences.
Diversity in the workplace
The document discusses diversity in the workplace. It defines diversity and outlines laws from the 1960s that promoted diversity and prohibited discrimination. Research on diversity has found both benefits like increased innovation and creativity, as well as potential negatives like conflict. Whether diversity has positive or negative effects depends on factors like organization size and culture. Many organizations now provide diversity training to increase awareness and promote effective management of diverse workplaces, though discrimination still exists in some companies.

Q3L07 - origins of prejudice
The document summarizes several theories that attempt to explain prejudice and discrimination:
1) The frustration-aggression hypothesis argues that when goals are blocked, the resulting frustration leads to aggression, which is often displaced onto scapegoats like ethnic or religious minorities.
2) Adorno's authoritarian personality theory proposed that authoritarian child-rearing practices can lead to long-term clusters of prejudice by encouraging rigid thinking and identification with dominance. However, it does not fully explain rapid social changes in prejudice or its emergence on a societal level.
3) Social dominance theory attributes prejudice to acceptance of ideologies that legitimize social hierarchies and domination of some groups over others. People with a high desire for their own group

Cultural diversity lesson 6
Cultural diversity in organizations can provide several benefits. Diverse workforces can build strength for dealing with global markets and diverse customers. Diverse work teams are also often high in creativity and innovation.
Hofstede conducted a seminal study of how cultural values impact management practices. The study identified five dimensions along which cultures vary: power distance, uncertainty avoidance, individualism versus collectivism, masculinity versus femininity, and long-term versus short-term orientation. These cultural dimensions influence characteristics like organizational structure, motivation, and leadership styles.
Managing diversity well requires an inclusive culture where all employees feel able to reach their potential. Training and initiatives to reduce prejudice can support a truly multicultural organization with representation
Muslim philosopher quotes
The document contains quotes from several prominent Muslim scholars and philosophers from history:
Ibn Khaldun emphasizes that those who find new paths or walk ahead of their times may not be recognized as leaders until centuries later. He also notes that the term of life for a dynasty does not normally exceed three generations as 'Asabiya (social solidarity) declines over time.
Ibn Rushd states that two truths cannot contradict one another, and ignorance leads to fear, hate, and ultimately violence.
Ibn Arabi questions how the heart can travel to God when it is chained by desires. He also notes that the ignorant do not see their own ignorance while the knowledgeable do not see their own knowledge.

Q3L06 - Prejudice and Discrimination
Prejudice and discrimination can take many forms, from subtle to extreme. Prejudice involves unfavorable attitudes toward social groups, while discrimination involves harmful actions directed at those groups. Studies have found discrimination in areas like housing (LaPiere, 1934) and implicit biases in automatic cognition (IAT). Prejudice can be based on attributes such as sex, race, age, sexual orientation, and disability status. It may take overt forms like hate speech or physical attack, or more subtle forms like tokenism or reluctance to help. Discrimination has damaging effects and is illegal in many places, but implicit or unconscious biases still exist and can influence behavior.
Socioeconomic Status and Health Care LN8
This document discusses the relationship between socioeconomic status and health in the United States. It begins by outlining the agenda to focus on socioeconomic status and class inequity, and how these relate to health. It then provides examples of quotes highlighting the impact of wealth concentration and the separation of those with resources from those without. The document goes on to present data on social class representations in media, differences in social class experiences, healthcare access and outcomes between racial groups, and consequences of class divisions such as in education, social support, environmental exposures, and lifespan. It emphasizes that socioeconomic factors and institutionalized racism contribute significantly to health inequities in the United States.

Similar to Cultural Diversity & Bias, Prejudice, & Discrimination
What is prejudice
Prejudice refers to prejudging someone or forming an opinion about them before knowing the relevant facts, usually in a negative way based on their group memberships. Stereotypes simplify our social world by reducing people to overgeneralized ideas about their group but can lead to prejudice when we assume certain characteristics of individuals based on their perceived group. Common types of prejudice include those based on gender, ethnicity/race, class, age, sexual orientation, disability, and more. It is important to be aware of our own prejudices and stereotypical thinking in order to prevent discrimination.
Cultural Competence Transracial Placement
The document discusses topics related to cultural competence and transracial adoption. It provides definitions for key terms like culture, cultural competence, ethnicity, race, stereotypes, prejudice, and discrimination. It also discusses perspectives on transracial adoption, including the intentions of laws governing transracial placement. The document outlines aspects for adoptive parents to consider in self-assessment, like personality, attitudes, lifestyle and knowledge. It presents a "Transracially-Adopted Child's Bill of Rights" outlining what every adopted child is entitled to. Finally, it lists qualities that members of transracial families can develop, like accepting contradictions and valuing flexibility.
Diversity presentation
The document discusses the importance of diversity at Villanova University. It states that Villanova recognizes diversity as integral to the learning experience and wants the community to be increasingly diverse in terms of culture, ethnicity, race, socioeconomic status, and religious traditions. The university commits to cultivating an environment that is curious about different perspectives, receptive to knowledge from intercultural connections, and sensitive to a variety of human experiences globally. The document emphasizes that everything done at the university should send a clear message that all people are welcome.
Stereotyping Stereotypes
The document discusses stereotyping and how it is a problem in society, specifically in the
workplace. It defines stereotyping as generalizing individuals based on their membership in a social
category rather than seeing them as individuals. Stereotypes are used to simplify the complex
information in the social world by categorizing people. While stereotypes can be positive or
negative, they impact social interactions and perceptions of others. The document questions how
stereotypes can be helpful or harmful to individuals and organizational goals and productivity.
Social exclusion
A short description of the problem and the results of the school survey are presented there by lower-secondary students. This is a part of the project "Communication Connects Cultures through Comenius" 2011-2012.
Chapter 9 Inequalities of Race and Ethnicity
The document discusses issues of race, racism, and inequality faced by minority groups in schools and communities. It notes that some students, such as white students, are treated better and have more opportunities than black and Hispanic students. There are misconceptions between racial and social groups that cause stress and lack of communication. Certain issues around race and relationships need to be addressed to promote understanding and reduce racism.
Q2Module4-SocialInequality.pptaksksndnsn
Social inequality exists when resources are distributed unevenly within a society. It often affects groups like women, ethnic/racial minorities, LGBT individuals, and those with disabilities who face discrimination and are denied equal opportunities and treatment. These groups experience social stratification where dominant social groups have more power and privilege while minority groups have lower social status and fewer rights. Prejudice, stereotyping, and other forms of discrimination further marginalize these minority groups in society. Laws and policies can help address inequality by promoting equal rights and protections for disadvantaged groups.

Understanding Racism, Prejudice, and White Privilege4-1Defining and Contextualizing Racism
4-1
Hoyt Jr. (2012) defines racism as “a particular form of prejudice defined by preconceived erroneous beliefs about race and members of racial groups.” It is supported simultaneously by individuals, the institutional practices of society, and dominant cultural values and norms. Racism is a universal phenomenon that exists across cultures and tends to emerge wherever ethnic diversity and perceived or real differences in group characteristics become part of a struggle for social power. In the case of the United States, African Americans, Latinos/as, Native Americans, and Asian Americans—groups that we have been referring to as people of color—have been systematically subordinated by the white majority.
There are four important points to be made initially about racism:
· Prejudice and racism are not the same thing. Prejudice is a negative, inaccurate, rigid, and unfair way of thinking about members of another group. All human beings hold prejudices. This is true for people of color, as well as for majority group members. But there is a crucial difference between the prejudices held by whites and those held by people of color. whites have more power to enact their prejudices and therefore negatively impact the lives of people of color than vice versa. The term racism is used in relation to the racial attitudes and behavior of majority group members. Similar attitudes and behaviors on the part of people of color are referred to as prejudice and discrimination (a term commonly used to mean actions taken on the basis of one’s prejudices). Another way of describing this relationship is that prejudice plus power equals racism.
· Racism is a broad and all-pervasive social phenomenon that is mutually reinforced at all levels of society.
· Institutional racism involves the manipulation of societal institutions to give preferences and advantages to whites and at the same time restrict the choices, rights, mobility, and access of people of color.
· Cultural racism is the belief that the cultural ways of one group are superior to those of another. Cultural racism can be found both in individuals and in institutions. In the former, it is often referred to as ethnocentrism. Jones (2000) mentioned that historical insults, societal norms, unearned privilege, and structural barriers are all aspects of institutional racism.
· People tend to deny, rationalize, and avoid discussing their feelings and beliefs about race and ethnicity. Often, these feelings remain unconscious and are brought to awareness only with great difficulty.
· When young children hear the stories of people of color, they tend to feel deeply and sincerely with the storyteller. “I’m really sorry that you had to go through that” is the most common reaction of a child. By the time one reaches adulthood, however, the empathy is often gone. Instead, reactions tend to involve minimizing, justifying ...

This document discusses four major forms of discrimination or "isms": sexism, racism, ageism, and heterosexism. It provides examples of how each ism manifests in society through questions individuals are encouraged to reflect on regarding their own experiences. Specific behaviors and attitudes associated with each ism are defined, such as negative stereotypes, prejudices, and inequitable treatment. The document also addresses abusive, hurtful, and stigmatizing language and how certain words can perpetuate discrimination or harm marginalized groups. Overall, the summary aims to raise awareness of social injustices and promote more inclusive, respectful treatment of all people.
The Many Faces of Divesity
The document discusses the concept of diversity and perception. It defines perception as the process of becoming aware of one's environment through the senses. Perception influences decision making and actions. How people perceive and analyze what they sense depends on factors like past experiences, beliefs, and culture. The document also discusses the concepts of culture, bias, prejudice, stereotypes, and dimensions of diversity like race, gender, age, and others. It notes that in society, some dimensions like being white, male, and straight are more valued than others. The document stresses that understanding diversity involves learning to be inclusive of differences and examining one's own power, privilege, and potential biases.
Cultural Competence In Clinical Practice
The document discusses the importance of cultural competency in providing treatment services. It notes that culture influences a person's identity, values and experiences. To be effective, service providers must acknowledge differences between themselves and clients as well as similarities. Self-reflection on one's own biases and experiences is important. Culturally specific treatment that validates a client's cultural experiences can improve outcomes.
Recognizing and Challenging Microaggressions
1) Microaggressions are subtle verbal and non-verbal slights that communicate hostile, derogatory, or negative messages to target persons based on their marginalized group membership.
2) Examples of microaggressions discussed in the document include making assumptions of criminality based on race, dismissing gender accomplishments, and using incorrect pronouns for transgender individuals.
3) Experiencing microaggressions can negatively impact physical and mental health as well as academic performance and career advancement, particularly for students from underrepresented groups in technology fields.

The Costs of Racism to
White People1
by P a u l K i v e l
WE TEND TO THINK OF RACISM as a problem for people of color
and something we should be concerned about for their sake. It is
true that racism is devastating to them, and if we believe in justice,
equality, and equal opportunity for all, then we should be trying to
end it. As we saw in the last sections, racism does produce material
benefits for white people. However, the costs of racism to white
people are devastating, especially to those of us without the money
and power to buffer their effects. They are not the same costs as
the day-to-day violence, discrimination, and harassment that
people of color have to deal with. Nevertheless, they are significant
costs that we have been trained to ignore, deny, or rationalize
away. They are costs that other white people, particularly those
with wealth, make us pay in our daily lives. It is sobering for us as
white people to talk together about what it really costs to maintain
such a system of division and exploitation in our society. We may
even find it difficult to recognize some of the core costs of being
white in our society.
For example, one of the costs of assimilating into white
mainstream culture is that we are asked to leave behind the
languages, foods, music, games, rituals, and expressions that our
parents and/or grandparents used. We lose our own “white”
cultures and histories. Sometimes this loss leads us to romanticize
the richness of other cultures.
We have been given a distorted and inaccurate picture of history
and politics because the truth about racism has been excluded, the
contributions of people of color left out, and the role of white
people cleaned up and modified. We also lose the presence and
contributions of people of color to our neighborhoods, schools, and
relationships. We are given a false sense of superiority, a belief
that we should be in control and in authority, and that people of
color should be maids, servants, and gardeners and do the less
valued work of our society. Our experiences are distorted, limited,
and less rich the more they are exclusively or predominantly white.

There are many ways that racism affects our interpersonal
relationships. We may have lost relationships with friends, family
members, and co-workers to disagreements, fights, and tension
over racism. At the same time we may have lost relationships with
people of color because the tensions of racism make those
relationships difficult to sustain.
Racism distorts our sense of danger and safety. We are taught to
live in fear of people of color. We are exploited economically by
the upper class and unable to fight or even see this exploitation
because we are taugh ...
