What goals do you have for continued growth in your ability to address and confront oppression vulnerable groups?

The students will prepare a 5-page written paper and oral presentation. The students will conduct a self-analysis of their own social location and their identity as it is tied to their race, gender, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, class origin, and current class position and prepare a 10-minute presentation summarizing key aspects of their social group. This assignment will stimulate the discussion and exploration of the diversity of worldviews among their colleagues and gain knowledge about other groups thus taking advantage of the diversity in the classroom. This assignment will also encourage students to explore how their social location shapes their personal values and their willingness to work with and uphold the human rights of certain client groups. Students should address all aspects of their social location in the written assignment except those that they do not feel comfortable disclosing or discussing. (Students are encouraged to conduct self-reflection on why they chose to exclude those aspects that they did.)
Points to include in the written assignment are as follows:
1) Describe your social location growing up and currently,
I live in Mexico until 8 and then move to Saint Louis, Missouri. In 2020 I moved to Connecticut.
2) How did your family of origin express/define their race and culture, how was it different and/or similar to others in your social group
Mexican and catholic very conservative and religious
3) When did you become aware of the power differences between the social groups of which you are a member and those of others?
In high school being an immigrant

4) How have you dealt with the natural tendency to deny or resist awareness of the ways in which we are oppressed and/or oppress others?
5) How have you dealt with conflicts between professional concerns and personal values that may have arisen in this class?
6) What goals do you have for continued growth in your ability to address and confront oppression vulnerable groups?
