Ethical issues raised by participation in Jane Elliott’s workshops

  1. What ethical issues are raised by participation in Jane Elliott’s workshops? (2 marks)
  2. During the video we met Terry, a man who immigrated to Australia from Greece when he was a child. He claims that he knows more about prejudice and racism than anyone else in the room, and describes his boyhood experiences of being called “wog” and being teased about his name. Jane Elliot comments that she can sympathise with Terry to a point. Do you think that all the experiences of prejudice and discrimination (e.g. racism, ageism, sexism, homophobia, etc.) affect the targets in a similar manner?
