"The Earth on Turtle's Back"
From the Onondaga-Northeast Woodlands tribe, Retold by Michael J. Caduto & Joseph Bruchac
Before Earth was here there was only water as far as one could see in all directions, with birds and animals swimming around in it. Up above in the clouds there was Skyland. In Skyland was a great and beautiful tree with four white roots stretching to the four sacred directions. Every kind of fruit and flower grew from its wide spreading branches.
The Chief of Skyland's young wife was expecting a child. One night she dreamt she saw the great tree uprooted. The next morning she told her husband her dream. "This is very sad," he said, "for it is a dream of great power and we must do all we can to make it come true." Then the chief called all the men together and told them they must uproot the tree. But the roots were so deep and strong they couldn't budge it. So the ancient chief himself wrapped his arms around the tree and strained and strained, until with one last great effort he uprooted it. Now there was a great hole where the tree's roots had been. The chief's wife came and leaned over to look down, holding the tip of one of the uprooted tree's branches to steady herself. Far below she thought she saw something glittering like water. Leaning out further, she lost her balance and fell into the hole. Her hand slipped from the tip of the branch, leaving her only a handful of seeds as she fell.
Far, far below in the waters some of the animals looked up. "Someone is falling from the sky," said one.
"We must help her," said another. Then two Swans flew up and caught her between their wings, and brought her gently down to the water where the birds and animals were watching.
She is not like us," said one of the animals. "She doesn't have webbed feet. I don't think she can live in the water."
"What shall we do?" said another of the water animals.
"I know," said one of the birds. "I have heard there is Earth far below the waters. If we dive down and bring up Earth she will have a place to stand. So the birds and animals tried to bring up Earth. First Duck dove far down beneath the surface, but he couldn't reach the bottom and floated back up. Then Beaver tried. He went even deeper, so deep that it was all dark, but he couldn't reach the bottom either. Then Loon tried and was gone a long, long time, but he too failed to bring up Earth. Soon it seemed that all had tried and failed. Then a small voice spoke.
"I will bring up Earth or die trying." They all looked to see who it was. It was little Muskrat. She dove down and swam and swam. She was not as strong and swift as the others, but she was determined. She went so deep that it was all dark, and still she swam deeper. Her lungs felt ready to burst, but she swam deeper still. At last, just as she was becoming unconscious, she grasped at the bottom with her little paw and floated upwards, almost dead. When the other animals saw her break the surface, they thought she had failed. Then .

Original Prompt:
Compare Carroll's strategies for creating sound in
Jabberwocky
with those used by Swenson in
A Nosty
Fright.
Pay attention to connotative and denotative meanings of the words and how the poet plays with sound.
Edilzon Ramirez
Response to Prompt:
In both poems there is a common element. And that is a wordplay to make nonsense poetry. The effect of this, is that we must think more in depth to figure out the real meaning behind the works of literature. In Jabberwocky, the writer begins by setting up the mood giving us the background of the events that are about to occur. The use of exclamation marks throughout the poem afterwards, are what in my opinion, give it the sound. For example, “O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!” suggests sort of a proud/relived cry. Which is furthered backed up by the whimsical words that have a positive connation to them due to the slaying of the jabberwocky, who terrorized the people.
While in “A Nosty Fright” another poem with nonsense words or portmanteau the mood is sad, and it only becomes gloomier. Like Miss Brill, the poet describes things together, in the first stanza “roldengod and the soneyhuckle” and jumps to a lonely chipmunk, suggesting that it has lost its companion. There is hope for it when it meets the grasshopper. Ultimately, it comes to an end “Here we part,” said the hassgropper. “Pere we hart,” mipchunk, too”. All hope is lost for the chipmunk and is waiting for the winter to come. This symbolizes death because during the months of October, November, and December many mammals including the chipmunks hibernate and its almost like it wanted to go to sleep permanently remarking things like “Will it ever be morning, Nofember virst”.
Some say, that the chipmunk is a representation of the author and her sexuality. She like the chipmunk, was alone and the typhoon that was mentioned earlier, was her losing her mind. The words and the sounds they make, further makes this evident because it is gibberish written by someone who is broken.

This week's discussion prompt:
Explain how Faith in "Young Goodman Brown," Georgiana in "The Birthmark," and Elizabeth in "The Black Minister's Veil" are use to reveal some truth about the central male characters in each story. Describe the similarities that you see among these women characters.
Peer's Post:
-Emily Seide
In each of the three short stories, the female characters play a large role in the character development of the three male protagonists (Goodman, Aylmer, and Hooper). Throughout each story, the women leave a lasting impact on their significant other’s mentality of the world and perception of others. In “Young Goodman Brown”, Brown is faced with troubling sights that make him alter his point of view on his town and the townspeople. Brown was introduced to the true form of some nasty people, including his wife, Faith. When he returns home the next morning from a place of sinister evil, his encounter with Faith and his townspeople has made him a hardcore skeptic of anyone and everyone around him. Goodman Brown never trusted a soul after that night because he was forced to believe that evil resides in everyone. In “The Birthmark”, Aylmer goes insane trying to remove his wife, Georgiana’s, birthmark. Even after hearing how beautiful and well liked she is, Georgiana agrees to get her birthmark removed. Rather than seeing this as a perfect part of her, Aylmer sees the birthmark as a flaw that gives her an imperfect complexion. Later in the story, as the birthmark fades and she wakes up, she states that he should’ve admired what he had in the first place, then dies. This made Aylmer realize that he took time for granted, and now he lives a life without Georgiana due to his impatience with her already beautiful complexion. And finally, in “The Minister’s Black Veil”, Reverend Hooper consistently wears a black veil that covers the majority of his face. Several people were afraid and intimidated by it, except for his fiancée, Elizabeth. After further questioning, she begins to fear the veil due to what it symbolizes- the sin in all human beings. Hooper’s plea for Elizabeth to stay reveals the extent of which he is willing to sacrifice, and the decision for him to continue to wear the veil reveals great sorrow; “Do not leave me in this miserable obscurity forever!” (Hawthorne, 36). In each of the short stories, each female character, always a love interest, is first skeptical of the main character’s choice of actions, then later comply. In each short story, a life lesson is learned for each male character.

Topic:
Technology changes education
Postman argues that television technology substantively changes aspects of culture such as news, politics, religion, and education in ways that suit the technology, not the human culture that uses the technology. It is a point others have made as well, though it is still contested by many other philosophers and social critics. One excellent example of technological change is on-line course delivery. While there are some who say that the new medium does not provide an education, others (such as your instructor) believe they can accomplish a better education in some subject areas. What have you noticed? What differences are there in on-line education that are due to the way it is technologically mediated? What differences do they make in the education you are receiving? Do you think this is a better or worse education? Why might your instructor think it can be better (and not just because he manages the class while in his pajamas)?

HAIR
Hair deeply affects people, can transfigure or repulse them. Symbolic of life, hair bolts from our head. Like the earth, it can be harvested, but it will rise again. We can change its color and texture when the mood strikes us, but in time it will return to its original form, just as Nature will in time turn our precisely laid-out cities into a weed-way. Giving one's lover a lock of hair to wear in a small locket [3] around his neck used to be a moving and tender gesture, but also a dangerous one, since to spell-casters, magicians, voodoo-ers, and necromancers of all sorts, a tuft of someone's hair could be used to cast a spell against them. In a variation on this theme, a medieval knight wore a lock of his lady's pubic hair into battle. Since one of the arch-tenets of courtly love was secrecy, choosing this tiny memento instead of a lock of hair from her head may have been more of a practical choice than a philosophical one, but it still symbolized her life-force, which he was carrying with him. Ancient male leaders wore long flowing tresses as a sign of virility (in fact,
"kaiser" and "tsar" both mean "long-haired"
). In the biblical story of Samson, the hero's loss of hair brings on his weakness and downfall, just as it did for the hero Gilgamesh before him. In Europe in more recent times, women who collaborated with the enemy in World War II were humiliated by having their hair cut short. Among some orthodox Jews, a young woman must cut off her hair when she marries, lest her husband find her too attractive and wish to have sex with her out of desire rather than for procreation. Rastafarians regard their dreadlocks as "high-tension cables to heaven." These days, to shock the bourgeoisie and establish their own identity, as every generation must, many young men and women wear their hair as freeform sculpture, with lacquered spikes, close-cropped patterns that resemble a formal garden maze, and colors borrowed from an aviary or spray-painted alley. The first time a student walked into my classroom wearing a "blue jay," it did startle me. Royal-blue slabs of hair were brushed and sprayed straight up along the sides of his head, a long jelly roll of white hair fell forward over his eyebrows, and the back was shiny black, brushed straight up and plastered close to the head. I didn't dislike it, it just seemed like a lot to fuss with each day. I'm sure my grandmother felt that way about my mother's "beehive," and I know my mother feels that way about the curly weather system which is my own mane of long thick hair. One's hairstyle can be the badge of a group, as we've always known -- look at the military's crew cut, or the hairstyles worn by some nuns and monks. In the sixties, wearing long hair, especially if you were a man, often fetched a vitriolic outburst from parents, which is why the musical Hair summed up a generation so beautifully. The police, who seemed so clean-cut and cropped then, were succee.

Write a research report based on a hypothetical research study. Con.docxarnoldmeredith47041
Write a research report based on a hypothetical research study. Conducting research and writing a report is common practice for many students and practitioners in any of the behavioral sciences fields.
A research report, which is based on scientific method, is typically composed of the different sections listed below:
Introduction:
The introduction states a specific hypothesis and how that hypothesis was derived by connecting it to previous research.
Methods:
The methods section describes the details of how the hypothesis was tested and clarifies why the study was conducted in that particular way.
Results:
The results section is where the raw uninterpreted data is presented.
Discussion:
The discussion section is where an argument is presented on whether or not the data supports the hypothesis, the possible implications and limitations of the study, as well as possible future directions for this type of research.
Together, these sections should tell the reader what was done, how it was done, and what was learned through the research. You will create a research report based on a
hypothetical
problem, sample, results, and literature review. Organize your data by creating meaningful sections within your report. Make sure that you:
Apply key concepts of inferential hypothesis tests.
Interpret the research findings of the study.
Examine the assumptions and limitations of inferential tests.
Develop a practical application of the research principles covered in this course.
Focus of the Research Report
To begin, create a hypothetical research study (you do not have to carry out the study; you will just have to describe it) that is based on the three pieces of information listed below. Once you have your hypothetical study created, write a three- to four-page research report (excluding title and reference pages) that outlines the study. You are encouraged to be creative with your research study, but be sure to follow the format outlined below and adhere to APA formatting as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.
Your hypothetical research study should be based on the following information:
Recent research has indicated that eating chocolate can improve memory. Jones and Wilson (2011) found that eating chocolate two hours before taking math tests improved scores significantly. Wong, Hideki, Anderson, and Skaarsgard (2009) found that women are better than men on memory tests after eating chocolate.
There were 50 men and 50 women who were randomly selected from a larger population.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

The Earth on Turtles BackFrom the Onondaga-Northeast Woodland.docx
1. "The Earth on Turtle's Back"
From the Onondaga-Northeast Woodlands tribe, Retold by
Michael J. Caduto & Joseph Bruchac
Before Earth was here there was only water as far as one could
see in all directions, with birds and animals swimming around
in it. Up above in the clouds there was Skyland. In Skyland was
a great and beautiful tree with four white roots stretching to the
four sacred directions. Every kind of fruit and flower grew from
its wide spreading branches.
The Chief of Skyland's young wife was expecting a child. One
night she dreamt she saw the great tree uprooted. The next
morning she told her husband her dream. "This is very sad," he
said, "for it is a dream of great power and we must do all we
can to make it come true." Then the chief called all the men
together and told them they must uproot the tree. But the roots
were so deep and strong they couldn't budge it. So the ancient
chief himself wrapped his arms around the tree and strained and
strained, until with one last great effort he uprooted it. Now
there was a great hole where the tree's roots had been. The
chief's wife came and leaned over to look down, holding the tip
of one of the uprooted tree's branches to steady herself. Far
below she thought she saw something glittering like water.
Leaning out further, she lost her balance and fell into the hole.
Her hand slipped from the tip of the branch, leaving her only a
handful of seeds as she fell.
Far, far below in the waters some of the animals looked up.
"Someone is falling from the sky," said one.
"We must help her," said another. Then two Swans flew up and
caught her between their wings, and brought her gently down to
the water where the birds and animals were watching.
She is not like us," said one of the animals. "She doesn't have
webbed feet. I don't think she can live in the water."
"What shall we do?" said another of the water animals.
2. "I know," said one of the birds. "I have heard there is Earth far
below the waters. If we dive down and bring up Earth she will
have a place to stand. So the birds and animals tried to bring up
Earth. First Duck dove far down beneath the surface, but he
couldn't reach the bottom and floated back up. Then Beaver
tried. He went even deeper, so deep that it was all dark, but he
couldn't reach the bottom either. Then Loon tried and was gone
a long, long time, but he too failed to bring up Earth. Soon it
seemed that all had tried and failed. Then a small voice spoke.
"I will bring up Earth or die trying." They all looked to see who
it was. It was little Muskrat. She dove down and swam and
swam. She was not as strong and swift as the others, but she
was determined. She went so deep that it was all dark, and still
she swam deeper. Her lungs felt ready to burst, but she swam
deeper still. At last, just as she was becoming unconscious, she
grasped at the bottom with her little paw and floated upwards,
almost dead. When the other animals saw her break the surface,
they thought she had failed. Then they saw her right paw was
held tightly shut.
"She has the Earth," they said. "Now where can we put it?"
"Place it on my back," said a deep voice. It was Great Turtle
who had come up from the depths. They brought Muskrat over
and placed her paw against his back. To this day there are marks
at the back of Turtle's shell that were made by Muskrat's paw.
The tiny bit of Earth fell on the back of Turtle. Almost
immediately it began to grow and grow until it became the
whole world.
Then the two Swans brought Sky Woman down. She stepped
onto the new Earth and opened her hand, letting the seeds fall
onto the bare soil. From the seeds the trees and grass and
flowers sprang up. Life on Earth had begun.
"When Grizzlies Walked Upright"
from the Modoc tribe, Retold by Richard Erdoes and Alfonso
Ortiz
3. Before there were people on earth, the Chief of the Sky
Spirits grew tired of his home in the Above World, because the
air was always brittle with an icy cold. So he carved a hole in
the sky with a stone and pushed all the snow and ice down
below until he made a great mound that reached from the earth
almost to the sky. Today it is known as Mount Shasta.
Then the Sky Spirit took his walking stick, stepped from a
cloud to the peak, and walked down to the mountain. When he
was about halfway to the valley below, he began to put his
finger to the ground here and there, here and there. Wherever
his finger touched, a tree grew. The snow melted in his
footsteps, and the water ran down in rivers.

The fact that the Sky Spirit waited until he was "about halfway
to the valley below" before he began creating trees explains
which natural wonder:
a. the horizon
b. the tree line
c. snow-capped mountains
d. where the snow melts and runs into rivers
Bottom of Form
The Sky Spirit broke off the small end of his giant stick and
threw the pieces into the rivers. The longer pieces turned into
beaver and otter; the smaller pieces became fish. When the
leaves dropped from the trees, he picked them up, blew upon
them, and so made the birds. Then he took the big end of his
giant stick and made all the animals that walked on the earth,
the biggest of which were the grizzly bears.
Mt. Shasta
Now when they were first made, the bears were covered with
hair and had sharp claws, just as they do today, but they walked
on two feet and could talk like people. They looked so fierce
4. that the Sky Spirit sent them away from him to live in the forest
at the base of the mountain.
Pleased with what he'd done, the Chief of the Sky Spirits
decided to bring his family down and live on earth himself. The
mountains of snow and ice became their lodge. He made a big
fire in the center of the mountain and a hole in the top so that
the smoke and sparks could fly out. When he put a big log on
the fire, sparks would fly up and the earth would tremble.
Late one spring while the Sky Spirit and his family were
sitting round the fire, the Wind Spirit sent a great storm that
shook the top of the mountain. It blew and blew and roared and
roared. Smoke blown back into the lodge hurt their eyes, and
finally the Sky Spirit said to his youngest daughter, "Climb up
to the smoke hole and ask the Wind Spirit to blow more gently.
Tell him I'm afraid he will blow the mountain over."
As his daughter started up, her father said, "But be careful
not to stick your head out at the top. If you do, the wind may
catch you by the hair and blow you away."
The girl hurried to the top of the mountain and stayed well
inside the smoke hole as she spoke to the Wind Spirit. As she
was about to climb back down, she remembered that her father
had once said you could see the ocean from the top of their
lodge. His daughter wondered what the ocean looked like, and
her curiosity got the better of her. She poked her head out of the
hole and turned toward the west, but before she could see
anything, the Wind Spirit caught her long hair, pulled her out of
the mountain, and blew her down over the snow and ice. She
landed among the scrubby fir trees at the edge of the timber and
snow line, her long red hair trailing over the snow.

Considering all of the details the story has given about the Sky
Spirit's home inside the mountain and also the physical
description of how his daughter was blown out of the mountain,
what natural phenomenon is this myth trying to explain?
5. a. snow storms
b. earthquakes
c. volcanic eruptions
d. mountain ranges

There a grizzly bear found the little girl when he was out
hunting food for his family. He carried her home with him, and
his wife brought her up with their family of cubs. The little red-
haired girl and the cubs ate together, played together, and grew
up together.
When she became a young woman, she and the eldest son of
the grizzly bears were married. In the years that followed they
had many children, who were not as hairy as the grizzlies, yet
did not look exactly like their spirit mother, either.
All the grizzly bears throughout the forests were so proud of
these new creatures that they made a lodge for the red-haired
mother and her children. They placed the lodge near Mount
Shasta—it is called Little Mount Shasta today.
After many years had passed, the mother grizzly bear knew
that she would soon die. Fearing that she should ask of the
Chief of the Sky Spirits to forgive her for keeping his daughter,
she gathered all the grizzlies at the lodge they had built. Then
she sent her eldest grandson in a cloud to the top of Mount
Shasta, to tell the Spirit Chief where he could find his long-lost
daughter.
When the father got this news he was so glad that he came
down the mountainside in giant strides, melting the snow and
tearing up the land under his feet. Even today his tracks can be
seen in the rocky path on the south side of Mount Shasta.
As he neared the lodge, he called out, "Is this where my
little daughter lives?"
He expected his child to look exactly as she had when he
saw her last. When he found a grown woman instead, and
learned that the strange creatures she was taking care of were
his grandchildren, he became very angry. A new race had been
6. created that was not of his making! He frowned on the old
grandmother so sternly that she promptly fell dead. Then he
cursed all the grizzlies:
"Get down on your hands and knees. You have wronged me, and
from this moment all of you will walk on four feet and never
talk again."
He drove his grandchildren out of the lodge, put his
daughter over his shoulder, and climbed back up the mountain.
Never again did he come to the forest. Some say that he put out
the fire in the center of his lodge and took his daughter back up
to the sky to live.
Those strange creatures, his grandchildren, scattered and
wandered over the earth. They were the first Indians, the
ancestors of all the Indian tribes.

The fact that the Native Americans created a myth explaining
their own origin as being half-god, half-grizzly bear shows their
complete respect for and admiration of animals.
True
False
Bottom of Form
That's why the Indians living around Mount Shasta would
never kill a grizzly bear. Whenever a grizzly killed an Indian,
his body was burned on the spot. And for many years all who
passed that way cast a stone there until a great pile of stones
marked the place of his death.

"P rivilege is least apparent to those who have it." Clarence
Page
This week we will explore the concept of privilege and the
cultural changes that have brought about inequalities and
movements that have arisen to challenge social stratification.
Often we do not give much thought the privileges we have in
life. For some they are born into a life of wealth and others
might have worked hard to build that wealth, but for some this
is never an option in the world they live in. With my work in
Human Trafficking I see a lot of refugees and lower income
individuals. To be honest, when I started working with these
populations some I felt were lazy and could do more and other
times I just did not see the privileges I had because I was
struggling with paying bills or with a job or relationship. When
you start to really evaluate and look at the place some groups
are you see things very differently. So how do people work
together?
Diversity Consciousness offers numerous strategies for working
with teams and building team rapport. Clearly, group dynamics
are involved in team building.
This video, from our text, looks at Globalization.
According to Bucher (2010), diversity can interfere with unity,
and groups can often fall short of their goals. Research supports
that different perspectives, talents, and experiences make some
groups stronger and others weaker. But how exactly do groups
form in the first place? We will move to more a social
psychology lens here and discuss group formation. According to
Myers (2010), a group consists of two or more people who
interact with and influence each other for longer than a few
moments. Bucher (2010) states that a team is simply a number
8. of people who are involved in some cooperative effort together.
There are all types of groups that we are each a part of in our
lives. According to Feenstra (2011), intimacy groups include
the group that forms when we are part of a family or group of
friends. These are believed to be small, strong, and long lasting.
There are also groups that are involved in specific tasks, such as
a jury, known as task groups.
Task groups are less likely to last for a long period of time, yet
they have a common goal. Gender or ethnicity can also be the
basis for a group, and groups formed based on common likes
such as sports or food are known as loose associations. Loose
associations tend to be shorter in duration with little interaction
among members. In general, people tend to want to work with
those who are similar to them (Bucher, 2010). The forming of a
group depends on the setting of the group, the type of group,
and the stage of development (Tuckman, 1965). There are five
stages of group development namely the forming stage,
storming stage, norming stage and performing stage.
People become part of the larger group known as citizens of the
United States every day. They give up the homeland they came
from for the American Dream. Often women with no personal
possessions because there was no money. They cannot work in
the country they come from, could attend school or have
freedom. Americans will sometimes argue they have to work too
much or their school tasks are too much, but do not see the
privilege they have to experience these things that not everyone
has in life.
This week be open to other cultures, people and look at all you
have in your own life. For example, the ability to be part of this
class is something even everyone gets to be involved in for
many reasons. It may challenge you, but for those people on the
outside it is a dream that seems out of their hands and not
obtainable.
For Week 4 the emphasis is on Cultural Change and on
Privilege. In your text (Kahn, 2015), the reflection at the end of
Chapter 4 has you look at areas that you are in a dominant
9. group or a subordinate group. All of us are in some dominant
and some subordinate groups.
But what make a group dominant. What forces are in place to
give one group more power than another? How does the
structural inequality stay the same, how can it be dismantled?
This week, keep in mind the particular topic you chose for your
final project. Look up articles that give you insight into that
topic as you write your discussion posts and your written
assignment.

Discussion 4
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
10. “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.
Second,write at least three paragraphs (300 words) addressing
the following questions:
1. How has privilege, in any/all forms, shaped your life?
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.?
