Today was an interesting
day at the library here at Parkview high school, first I read on some of the experience
of people and the trivialities of 9/11. So I had a good time reading and understanding
how they felt as another background, and not being white and giving insight and
looking at the National situation. This also helped me as a listener to understand
how different people look at situations like this.
The next thing on are
life agenda was to do the Harvard University implicit bias, this test I had a
mild problem with this test. One I think I failed the test because I had made
so many errors on it that my answer was unable to be calculated. Second this test
forces the idea of subjectivity to a person who is taking this test. As the test
was conducted it made it where the bias was meant to happen, so the test itself
was in a way built on the idea of biased. Then finally the photos where cropped
to the point of no return, I thought some of the people on there where like not
even white or black but rather Mexican or Asian. So this in the end I did not
like this test because the idea of biased is so subjective to a person that
this test failed to pick up on that. So this test gets an F.
Final
I watched a video on a Class Divvied and I wish that this could happen now. The
test was conducted where race was out of the equation, but the teacher used the
color of eye color. I enjoyed to see the test and how it was conducted and that
the kids in away how decimation is harmful and that it could happen with any
group. But also that I found it was interesting to see how the minds of
children where flexible to the situation and that they reacted fast to how the
fl0ow of punishment went from the brown eyed, to the blue eyed. Also it highlighted
how groups with power had the ability to always point the finger to the
minority in the case was the brown eyed. So in the end I had a wonderful time
watching this video.
