  1. Example of Discrimination Picture found at http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1934432,00.html

  2. How is this Discrimination? • This is discrimination because one group of people, the government, made it against the law for another group, homosexuals, to get married. That takes away the privilege that everyone else that is heterosexual has.

  3. Active or Passive? • This is active discrimination because it is happening now and people are doing it on purpose by voting against same-sex marriage.

  4. Cultural, Institutional, or Personal? • This is institutional discrimination because it is the government that is being homophobic by not allowing gay people in Maine to marry.

  5. How can this change someone’s identity? • People that are openly or not openly gay can start to think that maybe there is something wrong with them because so many people in the State are against it. There might be bias comments like “you’re so gay” just being thrown around the State which may upset them and make them want to change or hide their sexual orientation.

  6. Privilege/ Disadvantage? • The group in the State of Maine that is privileged is the group of people that are straight or heterosexual because they have been given the right to marry. • The group that is at the disadvantage is the people that are gay or homosexual because they have been denied the right to marry.

  7. Example of Prejudice • “How could she have so blithely said something so completely out-of-sync with reality? Simple: She’s a liberal.” Found in The Wall Street Journal Wednesday, November 4, 2009 by John Steele Gordon.

  8. How is this Prejudice? • This is a prejudice statement because Mr. John Steele Gordon is calling all liberals, “out-of-sync with reality”.

  9. Active or Passive? • I would call this active because Mr. John Steele Gordon is intentionally trying to offend all liberals.

  10. Institutional, Cultural, or Personal? • This is an example of a personal prejudice. The reason that this is personal is because it is one man, Mr. John Steele Gordon making an attack on this woman and all other liberals.

  11. How can this change an identity? • This could make all liberals upset and think that lots of people think about them in this negative way and that there might really be something wrong with their party’s perspective and their perspective. This might make them want to change their party.

  12. Privilege/ Disadvantage? • The group that is given a privilege is the republican party to which Mr. John Steele Gordon belongs. He is given the privilege because no one wrote that the republican party is, “…completely out-of-sync with reality”. • The group that is given a disadvantage is the liberals or as they are also known, the democrats. The reason they are at the disadvantage is because they had Mr. John Steele Gordon wrote they are “…completely out-of-sync…” which makes them sound bad.

  13. Example of Stereotype • “And that’s why she would have done anything to get me off horseback and into the parlour where young girls, all young girls, whatever their talents and dispositions, belong.” Found in Wideacre by Philippa Gregory ISBN-10: 0-7432-4929-1 page 12.

  14. How it this a Stereotype? • This is a stereotype because the book is saying that all girls, “…whatever their talents and dispositions…” belong in a certain place and it does not matter what they are capable of.

  15. Active or Passive? • This is passive because the people during the eighteenth century though that that’s how girls were suppose to act.

  16. Institutional, Cultural, or Personal? • This is an example of a cultural stereotype because this is how they thought girls were suppose to act at all times.

  17. How can this change an identity? • This could change an identity because if a girl is sporty and likes to be outdoors and active, she is expected to stay in the house and do things like needlepoint and not given any opportunities.

  18. Privilege/ Disadvantage • The group here that is privileged is the men who are free to do what they want with no pressure from society, it was also a way for them to maintain power. • The group that is at the disadvantage here is the women who are not free to do what they want without social pressure and could be shunned from society for not doing the normal things that most women where suppose to do.
