Journal Assignment

The experiment of blue eyed and brown eyed consisted in a teacher who discriminated one eye color to see the response of the kids, and she saw that when one of the eye colors was mentioned the other kids got grumpy. This teached them how they shouldnt be racist. She used a way to divide the class so the kids would, feel how the african american people would feel every time they get descriminated, the kids finally learn and that lesson the teacher gave them would change their way of thinking, they would have no more racist beliefs thanks to that lesson. Prejudice is "An adverse judgment or opinion formed beforehand or without knowledge or examination of the facts". and Discrimination is "Treatment or consideration based on class or category rather than individual merit; partiality or prejudice" both of this words have a similar meaning, but both of them have a bad connotation, because no one should judge someone before actually knowing them. The part of the video that was more interesting in my opinion was the part that the teacher told that when the kids with brown eyes were descriminated there grades lowered, and when they were the dominant eye color there grades went up.
