How did the article or video add to your understanding of "The Brown-Eyed, Blue-Eyed Experiment? by Shelley Summerson https://padlet.com/ssummerson/improvingsociety en-us 2018-05-10 12:25:14 UTC 2018-12-05 23:45:11 UTC hello@padlet.com Carolina https://padlet.com/ssummerson/improvingsociety/wish/305005590 The experiment that Elliot did, made big things to what people thought about races.The people that went to the memorial and were a part of the activity that Jane did with them, all thought they were supporting the idea Jane had presented.she made a huge impact with people over 50 years later which is incredible.]]> 2018-11-15 19:56:23 UTC https://padlet.com/ssummerson/improvingsociety/wish/305005590 This speech is very important because it shows that we are apart of one race, the human race. And that we should not base ourselves on a certain color. because we are all human and everyone should be treated the same . https://padlet.com/ssummerson/improvingsociety/wish/305012273 2018-11-15 20:10:29 UTC https://padlet.com/ssummerson/improvingsociety/wish/305012273 This article is very important and it just goes to show that you can't just treat someone based on their skin color and the experiment proved that the kids who were told that they are really talented and smart and everything, thought they were better and the other group got treated unfairly and they later understood how it doesn't feel right to be treated like that. https://padlet.com/ssummerson/improvingsociety/wish/305053085 2018-11-15 22:10:21 UTC https://padlet.com/ssummerson/improvingsociety/wish/305053085 amadde0702 https://padlet.com/ssummerson/improvingsociety/wish/305065475 This article shows us that the superior phycology is still implanted in the society in very recent times.People are still being diseved with a little bit of false information,someone will think they are superior.I think the biggest shock about this experiment is that it is embedded in our culture today and that we have not moved pass this and can be tricked.THe fact that we can go against our better judgement and morals in order to believe what we we knowing in the back of our minds it is wrong is what shocks me.So this video helped me understand the experiment in more modern times.]]> 2018-11-15 23:08:19 UTC https://padlet.com/ssummerson/improvingsociety/wish/305065475 Sofia DiPasqua https://padlet.com/ssummerson/improvingsociety/wish/305067503 This article added to my understanding of "The Brown-Eyed, Blue-Eyed Experiment" because it 
shows that we should not judge people based on their skin color because that is just the outside appearance of them. In the article Elliott says, “There are not four or five different races. There is only one race on the face of the earth, and we are all members of that race — the human race..." This shows that  it does not  matter what color your skin is or what color shirt that you are wearing and we are all one group and we should not judge others. The article also says,  "The change was instant, Elliott said. The children with brown eyes were suddenly more confident — and condescending. They hurled nasty insults at the blue-eyed kids." This shows that once someone or a group of people think that or told that they are better someone they start judging the opposite. As you can see, the article added to my understanding of "The Brown-Eyed, Blue-Eyed Experiment" because we should not judge people based on their skin color because that is just the outside appearance of them.

For example Jane Elliott in her interview explained why she did the experiment and her reasoning behind it. She talked about how people should not be based on the the color of the there skin and the the experiment help people get a better understanding of what that was like.  Also Jane Elliott explained why she had never judged people based on the color of their skin and that no one ever should and never should have.That is how the video with Oprah and Jane Elliott helped me better understand " The Brown-Eyed, Blue-Eyed Experiment".]]> 2018-11-16 00:38:13 UTC https://padlet.com/ssummerson/improvingsociety/wish/305080485 My understanding aclaus7051 https://padlet.com/ssummerson/improvingsociety/wish/305082047 This video really helped me underastand more of why the experiment was done and how it affected people. Jane Elliot said that this experiment on third graders had a lasting effect on their life. I believe it. You don't understand something until you put yourself in other people's shoes. Then, you realize how it actually is. Now, most likely the third graders would never be racist because they know how it feels to be treated unfairly based on something they can't even help.]]> 2018-11-16 00:46:52 UTC https://padlet.com/ssummerson/improvingsociety/wish/305082047 https://padlet.com/ssummerson/improvingsociety/wish/305096781 This article really helped me understand the experiment better than what the "CommonLit" told me.I didn't know that Jane Elliot went on TV or the local Newspaper.I also wasn't aware that she was 85 years old.This article really helped understanding her.

It tells us that we should see everyone equally, no matter what color skin they have. The "50 Year Later" article also helped me better understand the "Brown -eyed Blue-Eyed Experiment" because it showed us that even 50 years later we are still judging people off of their skin color, and something needs to be changed about that. In the end, I think that everyone should be looked at as the human race, not a certain color.]]> 2018-11-16 17:47:39 UTC https://padlet.com/ssummerson/improvingsociety/wish/305374513 My thoughts cselfr5307 https://padlet.com/ssummerson/improvingsociety/wish/305377023 This article helped me better understand the Brown Eyed Blue Eyed experiment because I understand more about why Elliott Race doesn't matter. What you do doesn't matter. It's who you are as a person that matters. Just because of the color of you skin or the color of your eyes doesn't make you different from anyone else. It just means that you are YOU, and if people are going to segregate people for who they are, that's their problem. Be you, because that is what makes segregation-not that it's right worth it: you are being yourself.  ]]> 2018-11-16 17:52:15 UTC https://padlet.com/ssummerson/improvingsociety/wish/305377023 katie beth https://padlet.com/ssummerson/improvingsociety/wish/305377522 I think the article was very interesting. My favorite part was when it talked about how there is only one race, the human race. I loved this because it isnt judging people by their skin color, its just not judging them, at all. I think this article was very great and I think that what Jane Elliot did was great.]]> 2018-11-16 17:53:15 UTC https://padlet.com/ssummerson/improvingsociety/wish/305377522 The article helped me understand "The Brown-Eyed, Blue-Eyed Experiment" because it tells us that Jane Elliott thought about that everyone was one race.That race was the human race. The article tells us that everyone is equal no matter what color skin they are. Also this article helped me understand " The Brown-Eyed, Blue-Eyed Experiment because it shows us that not everyone during the Civil Rights Movement was discriminating people by their skin. This person was Jane Elliott. Those are the reasons how the "Says About Race 50 Years Later" article helps me better understand "The Brown-Eyed, Blue-Eyed Experiment". ssmith0667 https://padlet.com/ssummerson/improvingsociety/wish/305383020 2018-11-16 18:03:47 UTC https://padlet.com/ssummerson/improvingsociety/wish/305383020 Mackenzie Hayes https://padlet.com/ssummerson/improvingsociety/wish/305385881 This article helped me understand why Jane Elliot felt so strong on doing this experiment. Also I thought it was interesting what Jane Elliot also learned from her own experiment. The article also helped me better understand her experiment, and how and why she was recognized.]]> 2018-11-16 18:10:11 UTC https://padlet.com/ssummerson/improvingsociety/wish/305385881 I feel this kcoker8671 https://padlet.com/ssummerson/improvingsociety/wish/305391284 2018-11-16 18:21:31 UTC https://padlet.com/ssummerson/improvingsociety/wish/305391284 my understanding. https://padlet.com/ssummerson/improvingsociety/wish/305422230 this interview really helped me actually understand what actually happened in the world that we are in. Jane Elliot made a good understanding of what actually happened. Now I realize why she did this experiment. This third graders now will probably not be racist because of the experiment that they went through. I think Jane Elliot taught a good experiment/ lesson to these kids and should share with more people. this really explains to me what actually happened. She needs to put that in other kids and adults life. Jane Elliot taught a good and educational lesson.]]> 2018-11-16 19:21:12 UTC https://padlet.com/ssummerson/improvingsociety/wish/305422230 The article shows how frustrating it is to have to talk about the same problem for more than 50 years. Her speech made an impact on the way i thought about how we are just PEOPLE. We are really no different on the inside and everyone should be treated the same. We should not have titles by color but just by who we ARE eivest8362 https://padlet.com/ssummerson/improvingsociety/wish/305424851 2018-11-16 19:26:58 UTC https://padlet.com/ssummerson/improvingsociety/wish/305424851 The interview really helped me go further into understanding why the experiment was done. people don't really realize what other people are going through until they go through it. It was a great example of how greatly humans can impact the way other people act, feel, and treat our world and its people. The interview was helpful for me to understand what was happening and why the teacher did it to her 3rd grade students. eivest8362 https://padlet.com/ssummerson/improvingsociety/wish/305425354 2018-11-16 19:27:57 UTC https://padlet.com/ssummerson/improvingsociety/wish/305425354 This article helped me better understand " The brown eyed blue eyed experiment " because it shows how much Jane's work these kids. For example the kids began to change their behaviors after her experiment. Also many people appreciate her effort to show these kids what discrimination was like. This shows how important it was for her to teach others of discrimination. This article also helped my understanding because it shows how much the people that were in the Civil Rights movement respected her for this https://padlet.com/ssummerson/improvingsociety/wish/305428470 REEVES DOBSON]]> 2018-11-16 19:35:15 UTC https://padlet.com/ssummerson/improvingsociety/wish/305428470 The Brown-Eyed, Blue-Eyed Experiment sbhat9593 https://padlet.com/ssummerson/improvingsociety/wish/305434093 This article helped me understand the The Brown-Eyed, Blue-Eyed Experiment, because it gives you an overview, a somewhat larger one than the one on Commonlit. It tells you that you have to understand there is one human race and we should all be treated fairly. This is true because we need to realize how large of an issue prejudice in and how we should improve and treating people equally. It is shown by the experiment on the kids in the classroom that made an impact 50 years later.

The blue eyed group was treated worse than the brown eyed group just because of the color of their eyes, which is something that they cannot change. You only realize how it feels until you have to go through it. We are all human beings and we deserve to be treated equally. The color of our skin doesn't define who we really are.]]> 2018-11-17 01:11:02 UTC https://padlet.com/ssummerson/improvingsociety/wish/305489704 Jane Elliott on Oprah achitt0980 https://padlet.com/ssummerson/improvingsociety/wish/305547830 This video really dug deep into Jane Elliott's experiment and helped me to better understand the reasoning behind "The Brown-Eyed, Blue-Eyed Experiment". Jane Elliott didn't want to just talk about racism, she wanted her students to experience it. I enjoyed watching how adults  responded differently than Elliott's students. Some adults stood up and said what they were thinking out loud. Students on the other hand, didn't stand up for themselves. Brown-eyed children kept to themselves while blue-eyed children became self-centered and didn't mind how things were going. While watching the video, it surprised me that the people with brown eyes suddenly felt that they were more superior than those with blue eyes. It shows that racism is still a current issue today. Whether it's the color of someone's skin or the color of their eyes people will still discriminate against anyone who is different in any way.]]> 2018-11-17 15:13:12 UTC https://padlet.com/ssummerson/improvingsociety/wish/305547830 Brown-Eyed, Blue-Eyed Experiment psheph8386 https://padlet.com/ssummerson/improvingsociety/wish/305666483 The article "50 Years Later" added to my understanding of "The Brown-Eyed, Blue-Eyed Experiment". I learned that Jane Elliott didn't just want her students to understand but she wanted the whole world to understand.
She has been to many places spreading her feelings about race. One of these places was a full auditorium where she said there was only one race, the human race. She took the time to talk to these students because she wanted to see a change in the world and hopes one day that racism is a thing of the past, and that's how this article added to my understanding of "The Brown-Eyed, Blue-Eyed Experiment". ]]> 2018-11-18 15:43:57 UTC https://padlet.com/ssummerson/improvingsociety/wish/305666483 Jane Elliott on Oprah adease1627 https://padlet.com/ssummerson/improvingsociety/wish/305675829 This video really helped me understand Jane Elliott's experiment. It was interesting to see how the adults reacted to it then the children did. The blue-eyed adults spoke about how they were feeling in the experiment but the brown-eyed children became quiet and did not speak about they were feeling. Jane Elliot wanted to teach her kids about what racism really is and how it would impact them it they were in that position. The video helped me understand that racism is still going on today and showed me how people view other people that don't look like them.]]> 2018-11-18 16:47:56 UTC https://padlet.com/ssummerson/improvingsociety/wish/305675829 kcoker8671 https://padlet.com/ssummerson/improvingsociety/wish/305910278 The 50 year later article helped to my understanding of the experiment by telling why Jane Elliot did this experiment. “There are not four or five different races. There is only one race on the face of the earth, and we are all members of that race — the human race,” Elliott said. This tells us a lot about why she did the experiment. She wanted to prove the point that we shouldn't be separated by race but that we are all the human race and that's what matters.

At first to me this was kind of confusing but know i get it. i think it is a good way to schow everyone that if we are treated differently we WILL act different. i wish that we could try this project cause i think it would be cool to see the reslts. we as whole neeed to understand that we are all part of one race and colors dont matter. and we as children need to ear this NOW while we are still young cause this is very important in our lives today ]]> 2018-11-19 15:16:15 UTC https://padlet.com/ssummerson/improvingsociety/wish/305961373 Ansley S. https://padlet.com/ssummerson/improvingsociety/wish/306046384 The article helped me understand "The Brown-Eyed, Blue-Eyed Experiment" By telling me why Jane Elliot decided to do the exercise. Elliot has been trying to tell people that it does not matter what skin color you have because we are all equal for around 50 years. This led to having her students know what it is like when African Americans were treated unfairly.]]> 2018-11-19 18:05:33 UTC https://padlet.com/ssummerson/improvingsociety/wish/306046384 Ashlyn Arflin https://padlet.com/ssummerson/improvingsociety/wish/306046858 This article helps me understand The Brown-Eyed, Blue-Eyed Experiment because it showed me her true meaning behind it. It showed me that she was trying to show that it doesn't matter if your white, black,hispanic,asian. It doesn't matter. If all the human race is focused on  what you look like, if all you care about is what color that person over there is, then you are contributing to the racist pollution in this earth. I believe that is the message she was trying to spread.

For example, the text told me about how they still have to tell people about racism and how bad it really is. This shows, that having this experiment helped shed some light on what racism really was for the kids. This proves, the people will understand how it feels to be judged by how they look. This shows,that people are still making the same mistakes and this  Clearly, the text helped me understand why they did this experiment. ]]> 2018-11-19 19:47:46 UTC https://padlet.com/ssummerson/improvingsociety/wish/306095775 Ashton Phillips https://padlet.com/ssummerson/improvingsociety/wish/306096378 2018-11-19 19:49:19 UTC https://padlet.com/ssummerson/improvingsociety/wish/306096378 Nevaeh Golden ngolde3802 https://padlet.com/ssummerson/improvingsociety/wish/306096579 The video was very inspiring and informed me a little more than the article about why she did the experiment. In the article it explained how she first got the idea and how she thought the kids should experience it instead of teaching them and them learning about it. When the blue eyed adults stood out and spoke their minds and the children kept quiet it it made me think about how parallel some things are in the world. When the blue eyed children became self centered and the brown eye children was miserable it was parallel to racism and how racism was. Even though there is a little bit of racism today at least some of can band together and create a relationship together to make the community better.]]> 2018-11-19 19:49:50 UTC https://padlet.com/ssummerson/improvingsociety/wish/306096579 Anaiah Bruckner abruck7178 https://padlet.com/ssummerson/improvingsociety/wish/306096870 This article helped me better understand the reasoning behind "The Blue-Eyed, Brown-Eyed Exercise" and how relatable it is to real life. In the exercise, after the kids began to separate, fights began to break out after the brown-eyed kids became more confident and began thinking they were more important. In real life this happens between people. They think they are better. Jane Elliot stressed that everyone has an equal importance and that we are all one race, human.

According to the article people still have to tell others to not bully or not discriminate against dark skin people. Even if you are dark skin or light skin it doesn't mean you are better or worse than anyone. Everyone has feelings and they do get hurt by getting called names, bullied, or discriminated against.

This also showed the reasons behind the "Brown Eyed Blue Eyed Experiment" the children were judged by their eye color and they were assumed to be feeble minded just because they had brown eyes and the blue eyed children were assumed to be brighter than them. This is relatable to the real world because even though we have improved a lot since Martin Luther King  we still don't treat colored people totally the same as we would treat a white person.

It also helps me to understand Jane Elliott a little more. In the article I am very discouraged to see that still now people have to tell others not to discriminate other people that may be different from yourself.

It talked about Jane Elliot after she did the experiment and how she spread it to the world. The article also mentioned her idea on how we only have one race, the Human Race.

For example, one of the children say "I found out what it felt like to be on the bottom, and I did not want to make anyone feel that way again." The child who said this must have felt terrible after realizing how discrimination felt like if he didn't want it to happen to anyone.

She stated that racism isn't inherited, but learned. I agree with her on that because people can't be born racist you learn that from the people around you. Just like a baby isn't born knowing how to do math it's learned over time. This woman that started this movement did the right thing, she did it right when discrimination really impacted the U.S. She got tons of hate and even death threats, she continued to spread the word about discrimination against people like them with just a different skin tone than them.
