I hear students sometimes say things about other groups of people that they really know nothing about, whether it be that they have judged them about their sexual orientation, the groups that they hang out with, or their economic background. It often makes me want to say "STOP"!, listen to yourself, do you want to be judged like that? DO you not want to be known for who YOU are as a person?
It is heartening though to quite often hear one of the students respond to some remark with a comment about how that student should not be judging someone else. The students will call out other students for making biased remarks about others. It makes the participants in the conversation stop and think about what they are saying. Usually the student that makes the initial statement doesn't even realize that they are saying something negative.
That is what our Globaloria platform is about, learning about the 'global' raminfications of our actions, whether it be here at school, at home, in the community, or on the Internet, where it can be seen by millions.
Talk less, think MORE!
