@goldstone_29 @psyc220 @psyc220 #CD7 Definitely! I hope that our generation can work against gender stereotypes and show future generations that the things they can do are not limited by their gender

[Jaclyn S @JaclynPSYC220]

@psyc220 #CD7 One of my biggest goals is to become a parent, and stay at home mom when the kids are very young. I think that some stay at home moms reinforce patriarchal norms in their children if they tell them that its a woman's sole duty to stay home with the kids (1/2)

[Jaclyn S @JaclynPSYC220]

@terrykiiim @psyc220 @psyc220 #CD7 Exactly, I think it's so important to emphasize that it's a woman's choice to stay home. Or any parent's choice, for that matter. Otherwise we risk perpetuating harmful stereotypes

[Jaclyn S @JaclynPSYC220]

@DaphnePfoser @psyc220 @CD7 @psyc220 #CD7 For sure, a woman can choose to take on a career and still be a mother to her children at the same time

[Jaclyn S @JaclynPSYC220]

@jesszoggpsych @psyc220 @psyc220 #CD7 That was my experience with my mom as well! I always admired the work she did taking care of us, but knew that if she had wanted to continue in her career that would have been great too

[Jaclyn S @JaclynPSYC220]

@sydpsyc @psyc220 #CD7 This is a great point. I like how you mention that kids should be encouraged to share feelings with a trusted adult even if they are not the parents. Some parents try to force things from their kids when they aren't comfortable, which only makes matters worse

[Jaclyn S @JaclynPSYC220]

@sydpsyc @psyc220 @psyc220 #CD7 Yes exactly, being a stay at home mom is a full time job. We need to break the cycle of misogynistic thinking that stay at home moms don't do anything, or that all moms have to stay home

[Jaclyn S @JaclynPSYC220]

@jesszoggpsych @psyc220 @psyc220 #CD7 Parenting is such a critical factor in breaking cycles of oppression. As you mentioned, many families don't talk about difficult topics like race. In a way, I think not educating kids on these issues could be just as damaging as instilling negative views

[Jaclyn S @JaclynPSYC220]

@goldstone_29 @psyc220 #CD6 @psyc220 Agreed. Although there are policies in place to prevent discrimination in the workplace, racial biases still create hurdles for POC. I would be interested to know if employers are aware of their biases, or if this is something they do unconsciously

[Jaclyn S @JaclynPSYC220]

#CD6 @psyc220 Socioeconomic status intersects with race in the US, as shown by the racial pay gap. Although there has been progress, we still see a disparity between the average salaries of Caucasian people and POC. (1/2)

[Jaclyn S @JaclynPSYC220]

@sdulaney08 @psyc220 #CD6 @psyc220 My thoughts exactly. A person's name is arbitrary, yet implicit biases about race make it so that a name can be the difference between employment and unemployment. It goes to show how much work needs to be done when it comes to racial bias

[Jaclyn S @JaclynPSYC220]

@mikalazubbberr @psyc220 @psyc220 #CD6 Agreed, it's strange that race is so emphasized that even names are associated with one race or another, despite how arbitrary one's name is to who they are as a person

[Jaclyn S @JaclynPSYC220]

@jesszoggpsych @psyc220 @psyc220 #CD6 Thank you! I really like this study because, like you said, it does a great job of highlighting how biases still impact POC in the workplace. I think this issue often goes unnoticed, as many people don't think that racism really occurs in modern times

[Jaclyn S @JaclynPSYC220]

@mika_walker19 @psyc220 #CD6 @psyc220 for sure, I think that study raises the important issue of how implicit racial biases still affect POC, even though progress has been made

[Jaclyn S @JaclynPSYC220]

#CD6 @psyc220 That said, if a person had a name that is typically considered "black sounding", they may receive fewer job opportunities than a Caucasian person with the same qualifications. This could result in accepting jobs that they are overqualified and underpaid for

[Jaclyn S @JaclynPSYC220]

#CD6 @psyc220 a study found that employers were more likely to contact applicants with "white-sounding" names than "black-sounding" names, even if the applications were otherwise identical. This is one example of how race can impact one's employment, and subsequently their SES

[Jaclyn S @JaclynPSYC220]

@DaphnePfoser @psyc220 @psyc220 #CD6 I completely agree. I have people in my life who are immigrants and people of color. One thing I thought of is how the intersecting of these identities affected Asian immigrants in the peak of coronavirus when there was a lot of hostility toward them

[Jaclyn S @JaclynPSYC220]

@jesszoggpsych @psyc220 @psyc220 #CD6 This is so true. I've seen many people try to discount the pay gap and say that women are just choosing lower paying jobs. You put it perfectly by pointing out the fact that these jobs have been historically female dominated, and that's why the pay is lower

[Jaclyn S @JaclynPSYC220]

@MeganHutcheson7 @psyc220 #220ethics @psyc220 I totally agree, this tweet highlights dedication to the country as a whole
