Today during common time you watched a film that dealt with the topics of racism in America and how specifically how white individuals perceive racism in America. The narrator of the documentary grew up going to a school with mostly African-American individuals. He stated how did this changed and shape the way that he grew up and made him realize that lives of African-Americans and the treatment of African-Americans are far different than that of the white individual.
Throughout this documentary, I discovered that the idea of alterity was extremely prominent. This notion of having a group of people which are seen so differently and treated differently from other individuals emphasize the idea of alterity. It exposes the fact that alterity can be seen everywhere and I found it to be extremely interesting that the video we watched made a direct connection to that.
