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.
