How Often do you use Generalizations? I am happy I am pretty aware at this. I do generally like grouping people by types as we are all different. “My 6th period class is awful” is a statement where you grouped 20-25 students together because maybe 4 or 5 students are making it challenging for the instructor. That is not “the 6th period class.” We need to make sure that we are not creating a group bias based on something a small percentage of a group is doing.
How much cross-cultural literature, TV, and movies do you consume? I recently watched the Disney Show “Ms. Marvel” and I loved how encompassing the show was for Arab and Muslim communities, something I do not have a lot of experience with. Sometimes a show just has characters and if they are not part of your family dynamic you might not fully observe it and might not take it in. Seeing Kamala Khan at a wedding that brings “Bollywood” front and center. When I was done watching this episode, I thought “I don’t remember seeing this much representation in other shows I watch”. I think I had a “type” or a show that was my comfort because I related more to the characters. I was definitely missing out on the many other stories outside of my personal experience.
