Text: Reflection 10: Becoming a Minority
On page 229 in the book, do the "Becoming a Minority" exercise.
Write down your answers and submit by the due date.
For this exercise, I have to write a one-page paper discussing question 5. I was wondering if you could give me an example of a one-page paper explaining question 5 and how it relates to people from non-dominant groups' experiences. Thank you so much.
V. Becoming a Minority
Find a quiet space and close your eyes. Then, think about a time when you felt different from others. After you have identified a time, do the following:
1. Slowly begin to see, hear, feel, and smell the area around you in that memory - the people, the places, the time of day or night. Stay in that moment.
2. Reflect on how intensely you felt - and now feel - during that moment in your memory.
3. Sit in that feeling for a moment.
4. Now open your eyes.
5. Write down what the feeling was like and discuss how that feeling might be similar to what many people from non-dominant groups experience much of the time.
