“ISMS”
LOG & PAPER: For this assignment, you will observe,
listen to, and record incidents of oppressive language, gestures, or behaviors
you encounter that refer to individuals’ or groups’ age, race/ethnicity, class,
ability status, gender/gender identity, sexual orientation, and religion. You will then reflect on the impact of these “isms”/microaggressions
on these populations and yourself.

Paper. This 5 page (minimum-including cover page), double
spaced, APA 7 style paper provides you with the opportunity to reflect on the
“isms”/microaggressions you witnessed.
Following completion of your log*, you will respond to the following
questions citing at least three (3) specific incidents you witnessed:

· Were you personally affected
by the incidents? If so, in what way?
·
Were any false stereotypes
about certain cultural groups promoted by the incidents?
·
If other people witnessed
the incidents, what were their reactions?
·
Did you do anything to
confront the oppressive situations (such as telling someone that a racist
remark was inappropriate)? If so, how did they react to you?
·
What did the person or group
making the offensive remarks or gestures seem to hope to gain from being racist,
sexist, or otherwise prejudiced, discriminatory, or oppressive?
·
How do the incidents you
observed relate to prior incidents you have witnessed concerning this
particular cultural group?
·
How will the incidents
impact your future interactions with the cultural group being marginalized by
these “isms”/microaggressions?
·

* Your “isms” log should be attached to your paper as an appendix (This
is not included in the page count.)
