Mariam Thalos discusses the connection between identity and freedom and claims that freedom is the result of self-conceptual acts that often defy social norms and oppressive systems. Nicolas Geeraert points out that the origins of psychology focus primarily on Western culture, and calls for a cross-cultural approach that examines the effects of culture on the shaping of our mental processes. Annie Paul writes about unconscious bias and explains why people create stereotypes. Claude Steele discusses the term “stereotype threat” which affects individuals who are members of stereotyped groups and cultures. Prompt: Compose a thesis in response to      the essential questions:Narrow your topic, and then reflect on the      following questions: What is the impact of an       individual’s culture and identity on their position in society? Does freedom exist for all       cultures and identities, or is it limited for some? Consider the cultural factors      that affect a group’s freedom (race, gender, socio-economic class,      religion, sexuality, ability, age, etc.) Which cultures/groups are free,      and which are inhibited? How do “single stories”, stereotypes,      and stereotype threat affect our freedom? How does unconscious bias      affect our perceptions of groups that are different from us? What single stories have been      told about you? What single stories have you told about others? What are      the lasting effects of the single stories? What can we do to actively      overcome “single stories” and stereotype threat in ourselves, and others? Support your argument in the      body paragraphs. Summarize and cite key      definitions (single stories, stereotype threat, unconscious bias, etc.) Incorporate at least three      sources from the module to support your argument Incorporate at least two      additional sources from your independent research (CCBC Library Database      or other credible site) Include at least one example of      a “single story” that was told about you, or that you told/heard about      another individual or group. Audience: Write for an audience that is not in this class. That means you’ll need to spend some time summarizing key ideas, defining any terms that might be unfamiliar, choosing short quotes from the reading selections to help your reader get a sense of the authors’ arguments.
