Blue eyed experiment

Jane Elliot’s diversity training experiment is one of the most impressive educational research projects that I have ever seen so far in college. Her brave approach and the very professional behavior that she manages to maintain through the entire experiment allow the participants feel empathy and acceptance.
Even though the entire movie was very interesting to watch and exposed very sad facts, there were some parts that stood out from the rest and deeply affected me. Towards the very end of the movie where one of the participants who had a colored ribbon on admitted that even though he was not happy with the way that his equals were being treated, he still choose to remain quite because he did not want to be picked on afterwards and simply became the part of the racist act by allowing that to happen.
Elliot’s approach may be considered very strong and even maybe to harsh when the experiment is conducted with children but I believe that her behavior really gives the experiment an edge and allows the participants to actually feel empathy. On the other hand when it comes down to children I think the experiment could maybe cause some long term damage and even though the kids are learning a very valuable lesson the benefit could outweigh the damage in the long run.
I also liked the fact that she did not limit the experiment only towards racial discrimination and also touched on very important other topics such as sexism and ageism. Blue Eyed
