Milestone 5 Assessment

Submit a document answering each of the following questions.

On which (if any) social categories do you categorize others? Why do you (or don’t you) categorize? Is your behavior fair or unfair to the people you are categorizing?

Consider some of the important social groups to which you belong. Do your group memberships lead to ingroup favoritism or even prejudice?

What are some of the ways that prejudice can be combated?  Which do you think would be most successful? Why?

Have you ever confronted or failed to confront a person who you thought was expressing prejudice or discriminating? Why did you confront (or not confront) that person, and how did doing so make you feel?
