Study Notes

Hyper-Optimism vs. Hyper-Pessimism

  • Hyper-Optimism: Believes racism, elitism, and sexism are historical problems addressed through government policies (e.g., affirmative action). Advocates for colorblindness.
  • Hyper-Pessimism: Argues racism, elitism, and sexism are present and active. Different groups (e.g., Latino, Black, women) focus on their own specific issues and don't collaborate, strengthening the dominant culture.

Democracy, Equality, and Justice

  • The course aims to address racism, elitism, and sexism as societal problems.

Defensiveness

  • This perspective acknowledges racism, elitism, and sexism but suggests they are not personal failings. People cite factors like not owning slaves, having diverse friendships, etc., to resist taking responsibility for societal issues.
  • It champions individualism and meritocracy but avoids reform efforts.
  • It frames problems as individual rather than societal, sometimes leading to victim blaming. (e.g., not speaking up about friends' racist remarks).

Troubles vs. Issues

  • C. Wright Mills differentiated between personal "troubles" and societal "issues".
  • Troubles are personal problems; issues are broader social problems impacting numerous people.
  • Social awareness is crucial for recognizing issues in seemingly individual troubles. (e.g., a student failing a grade reveals a systemic educational problem)
  • Issues often affect individuals even when not directly related. (e.g., cancer patients facing related social problems).

Multiculturalism

  • Multiculturalism describes the existence of multiple cultures within a society. (e.g., Asian Americans, Latinx Americans).
  • Cross-Culturalism focuses on comparing different societies and cultures. (e.g., American food vs. Mexican food).

Approaches to Multicultural Education

  • Lower/Basic Stages:

  • Culturally Different: Recognizing and teaching cultural differences (e.g., different living styles in different countries).

  • Human Relations: Promoting tolerance and challenging stereotypes—though often lacking true societal application. (e.g., classroom activities but not translating to daily life)

  • Ethnic Additive: Attempts to integrate minority groups/women/working class into existing frameworks if possible but remain limited.

  • Higher/Advanced Stages:

  • Multicultural Education: Valuing all cultures and perspectives, challenging stereotypes and promoting integration across subjects.

  • Multicultural Social Reconstruction: Full integration; valuing experiences of all groups, promoting empowerment across race, gender, and class.

Race and Health

  • Meso-sociology: Analyzes social structures within communities.
  • Nature vs. Nurture:
  • Nature: Hereditary and biological factors influence health outcomes.
  • Nurture: The environment, social factors (access to healthcare, housing, food, education) construct health disparities that can be problematic for different groups.

Life Chances

  • This refers to life opportunities (e.g., access to a gym).
  • Social stigma, and ascribed and achieved status affect life chances.
  • Lifestyles, shaped by cultural factors, further influence life outcomes.

Norms and Deviant Behavior

  • Norms: Socially expected behaviors based on the dominant culture.
  • Deviant behavior: Violates norms; not necessarily criminal, often nonverbal, and less understood by those in power.

Double Consciousness

  • WEB DuBois' concept: People of color, especially African Americans, experience a duality of identity. Awareness of identity as both an American and a person of color (American discourse often ignores, overlooks the unique identity of color).

Diaspora and Panethnicity

  • Diaspora: Connection to a mother country and the U.S. (e.g. Asian, Latinx Americans viewed less "American").
  • Panethnicity: Grouping disparate ethnic groups into a single category for political purposes or on college campuses (e.g., eliminating ethnic differences).
