Ethics
I identify ethics as the principles, rules, or standards which an individual chooses to live by and utilizes to decide what is right or wrong.
- I learned that there are many offensive stereotypes that exist in society which have harmed many individuals of minority status due to race, ethnicity, gender, or sexuality.
- I wasn't surprised that we were all shocked as a cohort about how ridiculous the treatment and remarks were, but it was eye opening to think that yes, those words are uttered by some.
- Finally, I felt how frustrating it was to experience another cultures struggle while also not being able to help others in their respective communities.
The most shocking thing I would have to say was probably just the blunt rudeness of the building authority staff and sheriff. It made a huge statement about institutions.Whether or not they are vocally discriminatory in society today, those stereotypes can still be communicated in more subtle ways normally which is not acceptable.
Since leaving the meeting I was glad I was able to participate in such a hands on activity regarding societal prejudices. As college students we are often times aware of discrimination around. Having the chance to go through the motions and attempt to complete the activity to the best of our abilities while receiving such resistance is a very beneficial learning method.
