Case #2 by Michelle Kim https://padlet.com/mkim1992/APAMSA2 "In PBL, the topic of illegal immigration came up in response to one of our case studies. While my classmates spoke in favor of sanctuary cities and DACA, I felt I had to remain silent since I held an opposing view. Even though I had personal experiences that were negatively affected by illegal immigration, I chose not to share them because I felt uncomfortable sharing views that did not align with the majority’s ideals." - Anonymous Student en-us 2018-05-22 19:06:32 UTC 2018-05-24 19:48:18 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Hearts.png Discussion Questions mkim1992 https://padlet.com/mkim1992/APAMSA2/wish/262825118 1) When you experience or witness a situation that makes you feel uncomfortable, who do you talk to? 

2) When you experience or witness a situation that makes you feel uncomfortable, have you ever discussed your opinions with those who disagree?

3) When someone expressed an opinion that differed from your own, how did you react? Publicly versus Privately?]]> 2018-05-22 19:27:32 UTC https://padlet.com/mkim1992/APAMSA2/wish/262825118 https://padlet.com/mkim1992/APAMSA2/wish/263468868 1) I usually keep it to myself since as a minority, I grew up listening to bad things about my culture for example. But now I feel that I can and should speak up, bc it does not have to be this way and I do not have to tolerate microavgressions ]]> 2018-05-24 19:31:44 UTC https://padlet.com/mkim1992/APAMSA2/wish/263468868 https://padlet.com/mkim1992/APAMSA2/wish/263468941 1.

The deans, my friends at the school 2.) I think that those with opposing viewpoints should raise their points (bc often times, I always feel scared to voice my opinions, but I do because I feel like they are valid and necessary). And we should be open to discourse and open to learning and open to feeling uncomfortable. https://padlet.com/mkim1992/APAMSA2/wish/263469204 Also, I think Trump came about because a lot of people kept their opinions to themselves and were angry for a long time....

I also talk to people I know well and trust regardless of what I think they will say because I often second guess my own discomfort and want to see how that person feels about the situation. ]]> 2018-05-24 19:34:20 UTC https://padlet.com/mkim1992/APAMSA2/wish/263469416 https://padlet.com/mkim1992/APAMSA2/wish/263469967 It doesn’t feel safe tbh ]]> 2018-05-24 19:37:01 UTC https://padlet.com/mkim1992/APAMSA2/wish/263469967 https://padlet.com/mkim1992/APAMSA2/wish/263470107 I don’t want to classified as the radical other by my peers

I think all of us need to learn to be accepting of different opinions, try not to offend each other, learn to politely educate when someone makes mistakes instead of blatantly criticizing, and accept criticism when given. I hope the school would facilitate this, maybe for example by training students and faculty members in dealing with microaggressions in school and in our medical careers in the future.]]> 2018-05-24 19:40:29 UTC https://padlet.com/mkim1992/APAMSA2/wish/263470817 Even when someone has an offensive opinion, I think it's important to respond to it with patience. When we aggressively shout each other down, it only worsens the divide and entrenches that person in their view https://padlet.com/mkim1992/APAMSA2/wish/263470968 2018-05-24 19:41:07 UTC https://padlet.com/mkim1992/APAMSA2/wish/263470968 https://padlet.com/mkim1992/APAMSA2/wish/263471255 I sometimes feel like the dominant culture in our class is anti-minority related topics and dominant Anglo Saxon patriarchal society 

I often feel like issues that revolve around me and minorities are classified as “other”
And other people’s problems
