Presentation feedback and a big thank you

We received feedback sheets on our presentation from our classmates and we're going to summarize them. Most people agreed that they enjoyed our NGO video, saying that the quality made it seem really professional. "Their explanation was so clear and specific! And the questionnaire was very interesting as well." commented one person.

Overall we received really good feedback but didn't get constructive criticism. We would have liked to know what we could've improved to make our presentation better for future projects. However, we  were glad due to the support and the compliments.

Lastly, we would like to say a big "THANK YOU" to all the people who took the time to follow us on this journey. We didn't imagine that people from all the world would take part in this and contribute to our research. We learnt so many things about discrimination and made us more passionate. We hope that someday we can make a world where we live without putting labels on each other.

Thank you for everything!


Melissa, Eriko

    I think your NGO will do a great job. The way you promoted yourselves were very attractive and effective, especially for young people. And I think it is an important thing because what matters and affect the situation the most for the future is their thoughts and actios. I think racial discrimination is the most ridiculous thing because we are all equal and unique. i don't know why some people can be superior than others just because of how they look like. i hope world gets better someday and all people start to respect individual differences.

Word clouds

イメージ
Word clouds (also known as text clouds or tag clouds) work in a simple way: the more a specific word appears in a source of textual data (such as a speech, blog post, or database), the bigger and bolder it appears in the word cloud. The following two word clouds were created from the European Commission about raising awareness on discrimination: European Commission . (n.d.). Retrieved July 12, 2017, from http://ec.europa.eu/justice/discrimination/awareness/index_en.htm You'll notice that the word "diversity" is as big as "discrimination" and "anti-discrimination". This is because the concept of diversity encompasses acceptance and respect. It means understanding that each individual is unique, and recognizing our individual differences. These can be along the dimensions of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, age, physical abilities, religious beliefs, political beliefs, or other ideologies.

Which bathroom should transgender students use?

イメージ
Currently there are an estimated  700,000   transgender   individuals in the U.S., according to a 2011 report by the Williams Institute School of Law at UCLA, and there are likely to be many more who go unreported. California, Colorado, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Vermont, Washington and the District of Columbia also have laws specifically designed to   protect transgender citizens  from harassment or discrimination, although these protections vary greatly by state.  That still means that in the majority of states, transgender students and adults have no such protections. Much of the court battles so far have centered around the issue of public accomodations policy. According to the Transgender Law Center, "any place that provides goods and services to the general public is considered a public accommodation... Transgender and gender nonconforming people often experience discrimination in their communities

Is the level of discrimination in the world rising or dropping?

イメージ
As you can see from the graphics above (I couldn't find one based on race related), discrimination has apparently decreased throughout the years. If you look at the time when we had Martin Luther King Jr. and those of his time, then yes, it has decreased greatly. However, if you're asking about now compared to 20 years ago, I think it's starting to increase in many ways, but also staying the same in other ways. Things are getting better in some ways, such as more people are accepting interracial and homosexual couples, but only because of those things increasing and it being more common. But even then, there are many who haven't accepted the change or what is "common" to see. References:  Who is driving increasing acceptance of gays and lesbians? (2010, August 2).
