This week in class we put our desks in a circle and had a discussion. We were to put our names in the middle of the paper and put all the the groups we were apart of. The group could be with one other person or with millions of others. We then had to pick our master status which is what is most important to you. I picked my family as my major status because they are very important to me and they impact a lot of the decisions I make. It was interesting to hear other person major statues and what was important to them

We also did an experiment by splitting up the class into people wearing blue jeans and people who are not. I was wearing jeans so we were given a white board to write down some reasons why they are not wearing jeans. At first some comments were generic like "they didn't want to" or "they were in the wash." Then as time went on the comments started to get meaner like "they didn't' fit anymore" or "they are ugly." This was to give an example of the video we later watched about a teacher who split her class up into kids with blue or brown eyes. She said the blue eyed kids were the best and it caused bullying between the kids. This showed "in groups" and "out groups."
