Q I will generally allow you to discuss your overall takeaways from the video, in particularly, how the content of Jane Elliot's experiment relates to issues discussed in both chapter 1 and 2. What does Jane Elliot say to the adult group at the prison in terms of assimilation allowing her to "fit in" with the better group? I'll include a few questions that may help you formulate your reflections below: • What features did Elliott ascribe to the superior and inferior groups and how did those characteristics reflect stereotypes about either minority or majority groups? • How did Elliott's discrimination create no-win situations for those placed in the inferior group? How did she selectively interpret behavior to confirm the stereotypes she had assigned? • Purpose of collar? (visibility) What did the children say about the collar? How does the collar relate to the social construction of racial/ethnic groups and its subsequent outcomes?
