Briar Cliff Reflection
Hello «Name_as_its_to_appear_»,

Thank you for participating in the Human Library at Briar Cliff University on Thursday, September 21st. Because of your willingness to share your story with the Briar Cliff campus, societal issues were discussed in a personal setting. Having these discussions in a positive and judgement-free location allows for barriers to be crossed and a deeper understanding of how discrimination and prejudice affects individuals. Without this discussion, transcendence of these societal issues could not be obtained.

The feedback that was received from campus has been extremely positive. A few of the reader comments have ranged from “It’s a great experience” to “It’s life changing!” and “Everyone is inspiring and it was eye

    All Bonaventure Reads Book Report

    The annual All Bonaventure Reads (ABR) book for the Class of 2021 was Nobody: Casualties of America’s War on the Vulnerable, from Ferguson to Flint and Beyond by Dr. Marc Lamont Hill. A meticulously metaphoric book with great detail on racism and the oppression of blacks. Although, it highlights the negatives of American history, it positively powers all blacks by reminding the reader that they too are human, although they may not always be treated as so. While doing so, the book portrays the three main values at Saint Bonaventure University: discovery, community, and individual worth.…

    Lets Be Lefties For A Day Analysis

    Today I participated in an assignment designed to help the student to “accept that discrimination exists “ (DeVry College, 2014, week one lecture, p.3). In our society the majority of people are right handed therefore everything is constructed to accommodate that, versus the small minority of people whom happen to be left-handed. Spending the day as a left-handed person was a challenge and lead to a lot of frustration and unaccomplished tasks.…

    Escalante's Four Objectives

    These stories do not exist to depress the audience but rather as a call to action: stand for your beliefs, rectify injustice you see in the world, and become champions of love. I intend to inspire agents of social change who are unafraid to stand with the downtrodden. I directed a devised production based around the question, what injustice do you see in your world? Many students wrote about micro-aggressions, cultural appropriation, or comically unfunny stereotypes of people of color but one student was struggling. Every time I asked her that question, she said she did not see injustice in the world because people who loved her surrounded her.…

    Bell Hooks Research Paper

    We live in a world where there are numerous discriminations: race, religion, sex, age, or sexual orientation. bell hooks has eloquently explained multiple reasons why the black population is discriminated against in an educational setting, “...most white folks are rarely, if ever, in a situation where they must listen to black women lecture to them.” (hooks, 31) Daily we hear about the killings of transsexual men and women, as well as multiple examinations talking about men who receive more money then women in the workplace for the same job. Carl Grant intelligently said, “Another factor stimulating the change is the acceptance of the importance of social cultural factors in learning and the movement toward challenging traditional assumptions and envisioning multiple possibilities for change.” (Grant, 1) The discrimination I’m talking about most people don’t understand or even see,…

    Mark Twain Controversy

    Everyone remembers reading the works of Mark Twain when they were in school. Freshman year of high school you’re sitting in your English class and the teacher is reading the story of Huckleberry Finn. As you go through the story, you start to think, “Wow, people actually treated other humans this way?” and you realize how cruel it really is. It teaches you that discrimination is not right and everyone deserves to be equal. Now just imagine never having read that book, never feeling the sympathy for the people that you felt, and never learning the lessons you learned from it.…

    Racial Inequality In America Essay

    “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.” - Martin Luther King, Jr. Racial inequality is still a problem to many citizens and it is imperative that people are aware of these issues that happen right in front of us every day. Racial inequality has harsh effects on teenagers, authors can have impacts on readers on books about inequality, and many genres of literature even have an effect on society’s views of social inequity. Though, many people think that it is not an issue, many blacks and even hispanics are often mistreated in America. This is a problem that has to be dealt with quickly and effectively.…

    Diversity in the U.S.

    To begin my personal informative essay on diversity in the United States, I would like to point out what information has had the most influence on how I better understand and relate to others different from how I did in the past. I do not feel as though this class taught me any more than I already know about other races and ethnicities, in terms of, how their ancestors came to America, or what hardships particular racial or ethnical groups have grown through in the group’s history in the United States. What I do feel like this class has done for me is, put into prospective of how often and frequent prejudice and discrimination is still today.…

    Assaultive Speech And Academic Freedom

    People reflect on times in high school, in college, or at a workplace when another student or co-worker said or wrote something just for the apparent purpose of insulting, hurting, frightening, silencing, or banning that someone. If that person has not personally experienced this kind of hateful speech, perhaps hearing it directed at others. Particularly of any hateful speech that was aimed to that person because his gender is being a man or woman, a member of some religious, ethnic, or racial group, gay or lesbian, or somehow outside the norms for dress, interests, body type, or language use.…

    A Class Divided: Discrimination Against Others

    This week I learned about discrimination against others. This is something that I think about often however I have never thought to educate others so that they are aware of discrimination and how not discriminate. I have always taken every extra step to make sure that I have not discriminated against anyone, even accidentally. I try to make everyone feel included and feel good about themselves. This week our readings were on the different types of people in the world and how important diversity is to the survival of our species.…
