I think I’ll remember the scene where she was
giving the lesson to the professional workers a month from now. I say this
because these were grown men and women getting upset and getting ready to retaliate
because she was segregating them. You would think that these professional
people wouldn’t react but it just shows that if you stereotype someone and
judge them you can set their temper off.

Was I surprised?
I was not surprised in how the kids with blue
eyes started to treat the kids with brown eyes. This is because kids these ages
only have to be told something once or twice to start thinking it is true. So
when the kids with blue eyes were put on top they liked that and took advantage
of it.
What I did not like about the A Class Divided video...
If there were
going to be something I’d say I didn’t like it would be the very beginning.
When she was giving her lesson to the kids in the very beginning she was asking
them how black people and Indian people were being treated. They said all these
negative things about how blacks and Indians were being treated or viewed in
society. It made me sad because I realized that these little kids noticed that
because of someone’s skin color they got treated differently. Furthermore, they
knew what they were hearing about people of different skin colors was not
right, but their opinions would not make a difference.
What I liked most of the A Class Divided video...
1.
I liked that fact that Jane Elliot kept so calm
when she was giving her lesson to the adults while some of the adults were
ready to fight and gave back attitude. It shows how sometimes an individual can
be so calm and nonchalant but actually makes the person against them more upset
because they aren’t reacting. That is the part I liked most because if she
didn’t keep calm or reacted back she would’ve have messed up her entire lesson.
She kept it professional while the people she was stereotyping against were
getting rude and anxious, which wasn’t their normal behavior.

According to this website about 76.7% of the
population of the zip code 21237 is white people. While only 16.2% is made up
of blacks. Also 51.6% of the area with the zip code 21237 is female and 48.4%
is male. The zip code 21237 belongs to Rosedale, Maryland.
I live in Windsor
Mill, Maryland. My zip code is 21244; there are some major differences between
my area’s statistics and the Rosedale statistics. For example, 72.9% of Windsor
Mill is black, the complete opposite of Rosedale. Also the unemployment percentage
is higher where I live. For the most part all of the positive things are higher
in Rosedale, employment, household income, and more. I think this website shows
that based upon were someone lives, affects their daily life. It determines whom
their neighbors are, how much money that can make, and so on.
