Blog Week 4: Practicing Awareness of
Microaggressions
Student Name: Angie Woods
Describe at least one example of a
microaggression which I detected this week or remember from another time. Well
I can remember from another time I was at work at a Hospice and I had asked a
question to a lady which was black. It was a question that I had asked related
to hospice work. But the lady was going over the job applications out loudly
about some people in who had a things related in having a day care center. So I
asked the question how a person with a day care center can be helpful to a
hospice when the hospice is looking for a C N a nurse. The lady looked up at me with a very rude
attitude and said, “So that I don’t have to be babysitting no one and looked at
me. As if she was talking right toward me her statement made me feel not at ease
because it was right toward me. Even though I know she does not baby sit me but
it’s all how she made the statement then looked me in my face as if she is
making it toward main what context did the microaggression happen? The context
happens at a job area in the mist of other co-workers at a Hospice. In around a whole crowd of people. I felt like
that the statement was out of her way of being a professional. I felt like she should
have kept her thought to herself.
What did I think and feel when I observed
the microaggression or when I found myself as the target of a microaggression?
When I found myself as the target of being mircroaggression I felt very uncomfortable
because if someone is looking for a job if I may or may not need that person I
would have never talked out to the public work area out loud about a person
application because that kind of information is not for the public to know the
company information.
In what ways did my observation experiences
this week affect my perception of the effects of discrimination, prejudice,
and/or stereotypes on people. My observation experience this week has effects
in discrimination to my understanding because the way how she addresses the
answer back to me. By me asking a question how can a Day Care help Hospice then
she made a foolish statement.
