palm Beach State College Wk 4 Multicultural Society and Stereotypes Discussion

Multicultural Panel (Part One). The panelists are diverse individuals, each with various identities related to their race, ethnicity, immigration status, nationalist, spirituality, religion, social class, ability status, age, assigned sex at birth, gender identity, and affectional orientation. For Week 4, panelists will introduce themselves and will share their experiences based on their racial, ethnic, immigration, and national identity.

Directions for Assignment:

First, watch the Multicultural Panel: Part One video, from the Learning Resources, for this week. Consider your initial reactions to each panelist. What stereotypes and biases come to your mind? Be sure to take note of your initial reactions, perhaps writing notes to help you with the assignment later. Next, listen to each panelist’s story of their racial, ethnic, immigration, and national identity. Choose one panelist to focus on. Choose a panelist whose racial, ethnic, immigration, or national identity is different from your own. What did you learn in particular about this individual? What aspects of their identity were most significant to you?

The “Multicultural Panel” assignment is a cumulative assignment including:

• Week 4: “Multicultural Panel (Part One)”

or the Multicultural Panel (Part One), include the following for the first 2-page part of the assignment:

• Select one panelist with a different racial, ethnic, immigration, or national identity from your own to focus on for Part One.
• Summarize the panelist’s racial, ethnic, immigration, or national identity, based on how the client self-identifies.
• Next, reflect on the panelist’s experiences with or without microaggressions related to their racial, ethnic, immigration, or national identity. Define microaggressions according to the required readings. Then identify key concepts from the required readings, and describe how these key concepts relate to the panelist’s experience. For example, Christine reflects on experiences of being passed over while in line at the grocery store. This could be considered a form of microaggression, specifically connected the second dilemma referred to in the Sue et al. (2007) article, “The invisibility of unintentional expressions of bias” (p. 277).
• Finally, reflect on how your experience is similar and/or different compared to the panelist’s experiences with or without oppression. Share your emotional response and reaction to hearing about the panelist’s experiences. Consider whether or not you can identify with the panelist’s experience.
