Imagine you are going on a trip. And although you may want to take along any and everyone who wants to go, you cannot. There is not room for everyone. You want this to be the best trip ever that’s filled with lots of fun, mental stimulation, and like minded folks. Who would you leave behind?
Read the attached articles for this week. After reading, your discussion will be about those you decided to “leave behind.” Tell us the four types of passengers you would leave behind and why. (Based on the different groups described in the readings).
While this is a fictitious scenario how does this relate to groups in the United States? Are we a society that accepts others based on class? Specifically, “people of color”? Did “privilege” manifest itself among those you chose as passengers to make the trip?
Answer these questions and defend your responses based on any or all of the readings this week.
Readings
Lum, Doman (2004) Social Work Practice and People of Color
Chapter 2 People of color
Chapter 3 Culturally Diverse Values
