Initial Post

Based on the required readings and materials for week 6, please answer the following questions thoughtfully and with your own words (~100 words per answer).

1. In Chapter 9 of the textbook, the authors discuss the concept of ‘White supremacy’? What is their argument about this concept? Were you familiar with this concept before? Did your perception change after reading chapter 9, how so?

2. In the video titled: “Deconstructing White Privilege” you watched, how does Robin DiAngelo’s argument help you understand the concept of White privilege?

3. What concepts did you learn in mindfulness practice this week? How do these concepts can help you develop your socio-cultural awareness/growth? (Feel free to share a story that reflects the impact that mindfulness practice had in your life this week).

Initial post due on Thursday of Week 6 by 11:59pm. [6 points]

Response Posts

*Your responses to classmates should be thoughtful and insightful. You will not get credit for perfunctory answers such as: “I agree with your answer”; “Good post”; “Nice job”, etc. Each response to a classmate must indicate that you have read and thought about their post and are responding because something in their post moved you to do so.
