1) Define discrimination in your own words. Give an example of how you may have been discriminated against.
discrimination means that you are singled out for something that you cant control like skin color or religion. i have been descriminated against for being blonde, people call me stupid because i am blone when really hair color has nothing to do with how smart one is.
2) Look up actual definition of discrimination and write the definition.
treatment or consideration of, or making a distinction in favor of or against, a person or thing based on the group, class, or category to which that person or thing belongs rather than on individual merit
3) In the Class Divided documentary how were the children taught to discriminate? Give specific examples.
They were taught to discriminate by what color eyes one had. for example the frist day the teacher told everyone that had blue eyes that they were better than the brown eyed people. she also made the brown eyed kids wear collars around their necks so they could be spotted from far away. during the day the two groups were not allowed to play on the play ground together, also the blue eyes recieved more recesse and lunch time. by the end of the day the brown eyes felt they truely were stupider than the blue and the blue eyed kids were being mean and calling them names.
4) In Nazi Germany during the 1930s how did the government teach discrimination? Give 2 examples.
one example they rewrote the history books to make them blame all un germans for all the problems germnay had. for example they blamed the jews for a lot of thier issues. this tought children to grow up blaming the jews. They also made teh jews wear a golden star so that they could be seen from a distance and could not be missed. the star wearing only added to thier feeling of dehumanizzaaton.
