personality

my result was that it was idealist.

One day in 1968 jane elliott ateacher in a small all small lowa town divided her third grade class into a blue eyes and brown eyes groups and gave them a daring lesson in descrimination.She wanted to show her pupils what discrimination feels like, and what it can do to peopleThroughout the day, The interesting part of this was that Elliott praised them and allowed them privileges such as a taking a longer recess and being first in the lunch linen contrast, the brown-eyed children had to wear collars around their necks and their behavior and performance were criticized and ridiculed by Elliott. On the second day, the roles were reversed and the blue-eyed children were made to feel inferior while the brown eyes were designated the dominant group.

What is racism


racism is the belief that the genetic factors which constitute race are a primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race. Racism's effects are called "racial discrimination." In the case of institutional racism, certain racial groups may be denied rights or benefits, or receive preferential treatmentRacial discrimination is treating people differently through a process of social division into categories not necessarily related to races. Racial segregation policies may officialize it, but it is also often exerted without being legalized.
