My Blind spot...
Reflect and write on:
How do I move from stereotyping into actual engagement?
To move from stereotyping to actual engagement by when I see the homeless standing at a robot i could think more about there situation and why they are there and their background instead of overlooking or "ignoring them".
I can also intentionally make an effort to think about what I could do to help them.
What activities can I enter in with the Other, which seem natural?
I could go work at the soup kitchen on a Saturday.
I could keep a packet of apples or something in my car to give to them instead of saying I have nothing to give them.
When they come begging at home I don't ignore them I'll try help them the best I can without giving them money as this encourages alcoholism and drug abuse where as if I give them food or canned food they are forced to take it to there family's.
How will I record the experiences?
I will keep a book where I can record what I see,how I feel and what I do to help these people.
What are my ethical responsibilities?
I have to abide by the constitution by treating everyone equally and with respect,not looking down on them because they have less then me.
