Reflection 10: Becoming a Minority.
On page 229 in the book, do the "Becoming a Minority" exercise.
Write down your answers and submit by 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 nondominant groups experience. 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 nondominant groups experience much of the time.
