movie

1. Choose any group of which you are not a member.
   • Possible dimensions from which you may select your group
     include: race, gender, social class, nationality, sexual identity,
     (dis)ability, rural versus urban status, religious belief,
     incarceration/criminal history, occupational status, victim, military
     status, and so on. ( pls do not chose women)
2. Explain why you selected this group.
3. Describe stereotypes, prejudice, and/or discrimination directed toward members of this group.
   • Use concrete examples to illustrate (e.g.,
     advertisements that depict members of the group in a stereotypical
     manner, statements you have overheard expressing affective reactions to
     the group, policies that discriminate in favor or/against the group,
     etc.). Consider both negative and positive stereotypes, prejudice, and
     discrimination.
4. Interpret the experiences of members in this group.
   • The goal is to gain a new perspective, so consider
     spending time immersed in the group. Perhaps you could interview
     friends, family, or community members, or attend an event hosted by the
     group. Or, you could present yourself as a member of this group to
     gauge reactions firsthand. Alternatively, do some online research.
5. Evaluate reactions toward this group in light of concepts covered in the textbook.
   • For example, how might social psychological theory
     and/or concepts explain the origin of prejudice directed toward the
     group you are studying? What are the influences on members of this
     group? Utilize scholarly, peer-reviewed sources to support your points
     to continue developing your academic voice. (Reminder: Be sure to
     synthesize and paraphrase the information you share from these
     articles/sources.)
6. Conclude with a realistic suggestion for reducing prejudice toward members of this group, based on the contact hypothesis (see Pettigrew, 1998, for elaboration).
