Do you think someone who has a negative view of their sense of self can have a positive sense of ethnic identity? summerupton https://padlet.com/summerupton/isl1wypuzzpiaav1/wish/1832591560 I think that having a positive sense of self can lead to having a positive sense of ethnic identity because you will view all things in a positive light. Someone with a negative view of their sense of self is more likely to have a negative sense of ethnic identity and race because they will see everything as being negative and might not envision the positive side of things; they will always want to tie themselves to the negative and not the positive outlook on life.]]> 2021-10-21 05:29:40 UTC https://padlet.com/summerupton/isl1wypuzzpiaav1/wish/1832591560 Would you assume that a person who identifies positively with African American Psychology might have a stronger or weaker sense or ethnic identity? summerupton https://padlet.com/summerupton/isl1wypuzzpiaav1/wish/1832606910 I would assume that a person who identifies positively with AA Psychology might have a stronger sense of ethnic identity because they are able to stop and think about why they do things a certain way or why they think a certain way, they may even be aware as to what led to them thinking and acting the way that they do.]]> 2021-10-21 05:40:54 UTC https://padlet.com/summerupton/isl1wypuzzpiaav1/wish/1832606910 Theory 1: Ubuntu summerupton https://padlet.com/summerupton/isl1wypuzzpiaav1/wish/1837632095 1. Do you think that the spirit of Ubuntu is alive and well today in African American culture?
I really do not think that the spirit of Ubuntu is still alive and well in the African American community because we don't really have unity and there is also a lot of selfishness in our community as well.
2. Compare and contrast in detail and provide examples of any parallels/similarities that you have been able to identify between African cultures and African American culture. Has this concept of Ubuntu changed your worldview at all? Explain.
I think that African culture and the African American community has some similarities within culture, and economic similarities as well. I think that Africans have endured slavery and colonization while African Americans have dealt with oppression. I fell that both cultures come together to fight racism and oppression.]]> 2021-10-23 05:27:39 UTC https://padlet.com/summerupton/isl1wypuzzpiaav1/wish/1837632095 Theory 2: 7 Concepts of Afrocentric Psychology summerupton https://padlet.com/summerupton/isl1wypuzzpiaav1/wish/1837650144 The concept that I feel is most represented in the African American Community is Human Authenticity which identifies a person as living life in accordance with their true self and personal values rather than living up to society's standards, for example I strive to live my life being my true self at all times. A concept that I feel is least present is Sankofa which means to go back and get it; in order to have success in life you need to reflect on past in order to have a better future. ]]> 2021-10-23 06:06:33 UTC https://padlet.com/summerupton/isl1wypuzzpiaav1/wish/1837650144 Theory 3: 7 Principles of Nguzo Saba summerupton https://padlet.com/summerupton/isl1wypuzzpiaav1/wish/1837653546 The Principle of Nguzo Saba that resonates with me the most is Imani which means faith, I believe that having strong faith can lead you to fulfill your purpose and goals in life. I think that this has value in the African American community because being African American we have been out through trials and tribulations and we always come out on top because we have faith to get us through.]]> 2021-10-23 06:13:19 UTC https://padlet.com/summerupton/isl1wypuzzpiaav1/wish/1837653546 3.1 - Multidimensions of Ethnic Self Identification summerupton https://padlet.com/summerupton/isl1wypuzzpiaav1/wish/1855091263 1. The first measure that I chose is Neonatal Measures, which construed of the birth place of self, siblings, natural parents, grandparents, and extended family. Ethnic origins of extended family; ancestral lineage, etc. I chose this measure because i Grew up knowing exactly when and where I was born, I  also had both parents in the home with my siblings and my grandparents were always around as well.
2. The second measure that I chose is Situation-Contextual measures, it consists of home-family, work, education, community, recreation, ceremonial, religious, spirituality, etc. I chose this measure because my home and family means everything to me. Spending time with my family at home brings me joy and happiness.
3. The third measure is Behavioral Measures, this consists of the language use patterns, friendships and acquaintance affiliate patterns. Print and electronic media use patterns, music, clothing, and food preferences. Participation in cultural and religious activities. Membership in mutually beneficial societies and clubs etc. I chose this measure because I love to be surrounded by people and things that resonate with me and enable me to connect with myself and allow me to have better insight as to who I am.
4. The fourth measure that I chose is Self-Identification. It is the self-identification of a preferred ethnic group. Assessment of own acculturation of own acculturation status. Real and aspired self-concept. Value preferences. Role models and preferred reference groups. Own group affiliations and our group associations. I have chosen this measure because everything that I do and feel is because of my ethnic background and being apart of the African American community.]]> 2021-10-30 03:33:27 UTC https://padlet.com/summerupton/isl1wypuzzpiaav1/wish/1855091263 3.2 Multi-Group Ethnic Identity Measure summerupton https://padlet.com/summerupton/isl1wypuzzpiaav1/wish/1855091607 1. My multi-group Ethnic identity measure score is 41.
2. This score means that I can identify more with the African American ethnic group thank any other group.
3. I think that this means that I have a strong bond with my Ethnic group because I grew up with two different cultures in one household. 
4. I am surprised that I am connecting to my ethnic background more than I thought I would be.]]> 2021-10-30 03:33:53 UTC https://padlet.com/summerupton/isl1wypuzzpiaav1/wish/1855091607 3.3 - Rosenberg’s Self-Esteem Scale summerupton https://padlet.com/summerupton/isl1wypuzzpiaav1/wish/1855092055 1. My score after taking the scale is 27.
2. My score means that my self esteem level is high, which is good because I haven’t felt like this in a while.
3. I believe that my score is high because the good outweighed the bad during the assessment.]]> 2021-10-30 03:34:27 UTC https://padlet.com/summerupton/isl1wypuzzpiaav1/wish/1855092055 3.4 -Racial Identity Development summerupton https://padlet.com/summerupton/isl1wypuzzpiaav1/wish/1855092366 1. My stage of racial identity development is, immersion/emersion, which means simultaneous desire to surround oneself with visible symbols of one’s racial identity and an active avoidance of symbols of whiteness; actively seek out opportunities to explore aspects of one’s own history and culture with support of peers from one’s own racial background.
2. I think that I identify with this state because I am at a point in life where I want to learn more about who I am and where I come from. 
3. An example of passing through this stage would be enrolling into this course because I wanted to learn more about my ethnic background and what leads me to think the way that I do.
4. I have learned that there are many things that I do not know about my ethnicity.]]> 2021-10-30 03:34:50 UTC https://padlet.com/summerupton/isl1wypuzzpiaav1/wish/1855092366 3.5 - Find Your Racial Identity Resource summerupton https://padlet.com/summerupton/isl1wypuzzpiaav1/wish/1855093062
I chose this resource because although, I do identify with my African American ethnic group, I do come from six different backgrounds.

The types of "-isms" that I was able to identify in the audio clip were sexism and racism. An example of sexism was "being told that don't look like a lesbian based on your appearance". An example of racism was "you do well in school because you're Asian".
2. No, I do not think that we live in a post-racial society because racism is still very much present today.
3. My personal definition of race is sharing the same physical traits and characteristics as a group of people that may resemble you. I think that race is a social construct because it is based on what you are identified as by another person.
4. An interesting point that was made during this assignment was that race is determined by how others view you and not how you view yourself.

6. One thing that I learned is to not judge others based on appearance.]]> 2021-10-30 04:23:15 UTC https://padlet.com/summerupton/isl1wypuzzpiaav1/wish/1855128292 summerupton https://padlet.com/summerupton/isl1wypuzzpiaav1/wish/1866618584 1. In the reading what was most unique about Black families was 

2. The strengths of the Black family is that there is strong achievement orientation, strong work orientation, flexible family roles, strong kinship bonds, and strong religious orientation. The challenges of the Black family are that there are fewer economic and social resources available.

3. Racial socialization affects parents & children in the black community by preparing them for hostile situations, i.e. "parents who racially socialize their children assume that their children will be in a hostile environment, at least some times in their lives, and that they must be comfortable with being African American."

4. Based on our reading I believe the factors that have impacted Black families the most since slavery are that "families became dependent on welfare and handouts did not achieve self-sufficiency", Black families were forced into poverty due to the fact that during slavery there was a lack of family stability resulting in societal welfare measures.

6. One thing that I stood out the most to me is that racial socialization is prevalent when raising children in today's society.]]> 2021-11-04 05:06:31 UTC https://padlet.com/summerupton/isl1wypuzzpiaav1/wish/1866618584 summerupton https://padlet.com/summerupton/isl1wypuzzpiaav1/wish/1866672045 https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/jtsb.12061

The Imposter Syndrome is "the inability to absorb ones accomplishments and the persistent fear that one will be exposed as a fraud."]]> 2021-11-06 02:54:56 UTC https://padlet.com/summerupton/isl1wypuzzpiaav1/wish/1871122272 summerupton https://padlet.com/summerupton/isl1wypuzzpiaav1/wish/1871125246
2. The Imposter Syndrome can deter a student from pursuing their educational goals which can lead them to pursue a career that they hadn't planned on intentionally pursuing. For ex. planning on attending a four-year college but then your teachers and advisors are advising that you attend a 2-year college instead.]]> 2021-11-06 02:58:43 UTC https://padlet.com/summerupton/isl1wypuzzpiaav1/wish/1871125246 summerupton https://padlet.com/summerupton/isl1wypuzzpiaav1/wish/1871129176
3. The Imposter Syndrome can lead to low self-esteem and can worsen mental health by leading African American women to have difficulty believing in themselves and to think that they are not equal in the workplace due to the fact that they are overlooked when it comes to advancing to certain positions in the workplace. It can also lead them to not want to speak up on certain things because they do not want to be seen as troublesome.]]> 2021-11-06 03:03:13 UTC https://padlet.com/summerupton/isl1wypuzzpiaav1/wish/1871129176 summerupton https://padlet.com/summerupton/isl1wypuzzpiaav1/wish/1871131585 4.

One thing that I learned during the listening of the audio material is that "other people do not expect greatness from you", and therefore you should not either; but you just have to show people that what they think does not phase you and just believe in yourself.]]> 2021-11-06 03:28:55 UTC https://padlet.com/summerupton/isl1wypuzzpiaav1/wish/1871150106 summerupton https://padlet.com/summerupton/isl1wypuzzpiaav1/wish/1871209615 2021-11-06 05:16:15 UTC https://padlet.com/summerupton/isl1wypuzzpiaav1/wish/1871209615 summerupton https://padlet.com/summerupton/isl1wypuzzpiaav1/wish/1887814480 1. What would you say are the psychological consequences of experiencing subconscious racial slights as a person of color?

"We have also found that micro-aggressions tend to affect problem-solving ability of the individuals in classrooms; work productivity goes down. And earlier, you were talking about health differences - that people who are recipients of greater amounts of micro-aggressions tend to have poorer physical health. They are likely to have high blood pressure, extreme vigilance that they have to deal with in terms of their autonomic nervous system."]]> 2021-11-13 03:21:41 UTC https://padlet.com/summerupton/isl1wypuzzpiaav1/wish/1887814480 summerupton https://padlet.com/summerupton/isl1wypuzzpiaav1/wish/1887814644 2. What stereotypes are perpetuated when racial microaggressions are thrown around towards a person of color?

Microaggressions are being thrown around by the person giving compliments and them being surprised that people of color can be bright, or intelligent because that's not the way black Americans are, and that you're must be an exception. "And it allows that person to hold onto the stereotype that African-Americans are unintelligent, inarticulate - and all the negatives that go with it. But they are not aware of this. And this is the thing that makes micro-aggression so difficult to deal with. It's invisible to the person delivering it."]]> 2021-11-13 03:21:58 UTC https://padlet.com/summerupton/isl1wypuzzpiaav1/wish/1887814644 summerupton https://padlet.com/summerupton/isl1wypuzzpiaav1/wish/1887814996 3. Considering Intersectionality, what other issues does this theme affect in the African American community?

Businesses that don't consider intersectionality in diversity and inclusion programs may ultimately lose out from high staff turnover. There is greater wage inequality, while white women in the US earn 81 cents for every dollar a white man earns, the same figure for American Indian, Alaska Native, Black, African American, and Hispanic women is 75 cents. There is lack of personal development, research shows that Black women have less access to training, have received less mentor ship and sponsorship, and have less frequent opportunities to interact with senior leaders. These all result in fewer opportunities to develop their careers, compared to white women. There is hiring discrimination and inequalities in unemployment, intersectionality also affects who is on the job market, and who is hired.]]> 2021-11-13 03:22:26 UTC https://padlet.com/summerupton/isl1wypuzzpiaav1/wish/1887814996 summerupton https://padlet.com/summerupton/isl1wypuzzpiaav1/wish/1887815146 4. State how these theories of intersectionality, racial microaggressions, bias or white privilege affect one's understanding of "sense of self" or ethnic identity?

Dealing with white privilege, when you affirm people's sense of self, when you give them the opportunity to talk about what they value, what's important to them, then they have an easier time acknowledging the possibility that privilege exists and that they might benefit from it.]]> 2021-11-13 03:22:40 UTC https://padlet.com/summerupton/isl1wypuzzpiaav1/wish/1887815146 summerupton https://padlet.com/summerupton/isl1wypuzzpiaav1/wish/1887815349 5.

State a strategy that you feel can be successful to address the use of microaggressions especially when the offender is unaware of how their reactions affect people of color.

One strategy would be to disarm the microaggression, by voicing your disapproval of racism by stating that its not okay or that you do not agree with what was said.]]> 2021-11-13 03:23:18 UTC https://padlet.com/summerupton/isl1wypuzzpiaav1/wish/1887815622 summerupton https://padlet.com/summerupton/isl1wypuzzpiaav1/wish/1887815843 7.

Microaggressions can affect problem solving abilities which can be a disadvantage in the long run.]]> 2021-11-13 03:23:37 UTC https://padlet.com/summerupton/isl1wypuzzpiaav1/wish/1887815843 Final Racial Autobiography Paper summerupton https://padlet.com/summerupton/isl1wypuzzpiaav1/wish/1887973220 2021-11-13 07:54:10 UTC https://padlet.com/summerupton/isl1wypuzzpiaav1/wish/1887973220 summerupton https://padlet.com/summerupton/isl1wypuzzpiaav1/wish/1898133213 1. The strengths in the Black neighborhoods and communities are strong achievement orientation, flexible family roles, strong work orientation, strong kinship bonds, strong religious orientation. 
2. The weaknesses in a Black community and neighborhoods are would be poverty and lack of resources.
3. Three ways that can play a role in the progression movement of the Black community would be providing equal affordable housing for all, the necessary resources needed for Blacks to survive in "corporate America", and better education and work opportunities.
4. Three ways in which Black neighborhoods and communities could have a detrimental effect on the progressive movement of the Black community would be not having equal opportunity, lack of resources, and racism.
