Ally packet

I was looking through the "How to be an Ally" packet that was handed out on Tuesday. The last page has a Self-Assessment of Anti-Racist behavior. I went through some of the questions and would like to reflect on my responses to some of the questions, and how much I have assessed in this class throughout the semester. Some also reflect the most beneficials readings and things we have discussed in class, showing what has had the strongest impact for me

1) Through articles in this class, and especially Spring's novel, I have become more well-educated about the culture and experiences of other groups
2)I have through about and dug deep into my childhood memories to think about racial experiences I may not have thought to be racist or problematic at the time. I have blogged about a few of them
3)I definitely think about the things I saw and what others say to see if anything implies inequality. I analyze shows and other things in new ways I never have before
4)I have become more knowledgable and comfortable about discussing diversity issues and what action needs to be done to remedy it
5)The Action Plans really got me thinking about what I can really do to help and put it in more of a realistic perspective as opposed to just theoretical.
6)This was by far my favorite class this semester. I have analyzed a lot and learned realistic things that will help me with my career path along with social society
7)I really enjoyed the blog. I know I did not participate all that much during class. I really enjoyed just observing what everyone else had to say, and then post my responses and thoughts on a later date, and still have my thoughts known, just in a different manner.
