In the beginning of the film A Class Divided, Jane Elliott asked the children in her class if there were people in the U.S. that are not typically treated like our brothers. The children were quick to respond that Blacks and Indians are not treated as brothers and are referred to as stupid, dumb or niggers. I was a little shocked by this as the 1970’s do not seem to have been all that long ago. If a Caucasian child were to use the “N” word in a classroom today, they would most likely face detention
Assigning a name to physical attributes perpetuate discrimination in society by opening a door that can easily lead to discrimination and prejudice of even those who we are close to. On the film “A Divided Class” the students were getting along just fine, until the teacher made the point of the blue eyes being better than the brown eyes and vice-versa which immediately separated the students and they began to look at each other differently. Sometimes even our own family members do the same thing
that we all are directly influenced by the society that we live in. Unfortunately, not always it works for our own benefit. The movie "A Class Divided" shows how the self-fulfilling prophecy works in a basic level, which become more complex, once people develop their self-identity based on their own beliefs and values.

experiences. Our experiences make us who we are. Stereotype is a common term I use to describe a lot of the social issues that I continue to see throughout my lifetime. We all judge a book by it’s cover and the experiment by Jane Elliot called A Class Divided explains how humans in the previous age before the 2000s understand society. This experiment determines that humans don’t
After watching this film, I learned to never judge or discriminate others because of the color of their skin or because of their appearance. The Documentary entitled A Class Divided surprised and helped me understand how other races feel when they are being discriminated. It also displayed the different attitude the kids portrayed due to power. It also showed me we have to implement change to our young kids at an early age. We should continue to educate everyone that all should be treated equally
Prior to taking this class, I considered myself very involved in fashion. I have always enjoyed shopping, as well as presenting myself in a fashion forward way. My favorite topic of discussion since I’ve started this class was the Jane Elliott exercise, A Class Divided. It made me realize, how even at a very early age, how prejudice and discriminating we can be. We have no right judging someone by what they are wearing. We owe it to them, ourselves, and society to get to know someone first.
