Today I watched the documentary of Jane Elliott’s Blue Eyes, Brown Eyes exercise on discrimination. The \u00a0technique that she uses instills a huge range of emotions, and within minuets, one can go from feeling like a king, to an ant. She teaches discrimination to a third grade class and uses the colours of each students eyes as the indication of their social status and value as a human being. She uses the same exercise with adults and the results are exactly the same; people discriminated against feel angry, hopeless, frustrated and anxious, where as the empowered group felt a sense of importance, worth and control. The transformation is amazing to watch.<\/p>\n
