Question

For this project, you will be a “fly on the wall.” For face-to-face, you will go to one or more locations and eavesdrop on conversations going on around you.. For online, check out comment sections or replies on Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, etc. You will be listening/watching for examples of prejudiced language. These could be disconfirming messages of racist language, homophobic/transphobic language, ageist language, sexist language, and classist language. I expect you to find and record a total of five examples of prejudiced language - one of each kind. Use the textbook and the PowerPoint to remind you of what these are. Take explicit, detailed notes as you will be documenting these conversations in your project. If online, you can screenshot comments or provide links. You will then answer the following questions in a Word document containing five paragraphs. Each paragraph will answer the following questions: You will list these examples of individual prejudiced language. What is the context of the message? What is your reaction to each of these messages?

How do these examples of prejudiced language turn into or possible reinforce examples of prejudice or discrimination on a larger scale?

Another way to look at this is to think about how society is affected by this type of prejudiced language.

What are some possible ways that you could confront this individual prejudiced language?

What are the dangers and benefits of having such a confrontation?
