@frankmrdukes @psyc220 Even though many people influence someone’s upbringing, the parental figure is really important especially at a young age. Being aware of the fact that the way you think can affect how your kid thinks is something can prevent the passing on of negative values.

[Andrew Eddy @eddyah_]

@sydn31 @psyc220 I think it’s definitely very important to balance what has actual statistical backing with what’s just negative stereotypes. Best of luck to you!

Something I could do if I am an agent in a governmental organization is help minorities by being an advocate coming from inside, as often change best happens from the inside.

[Andrew Eddy @eddyah_]

#cd7 @psyc220 A goal I have for the future is to work as an agent in an agency like the FBI or the CIA. The government is notoriously bad at being inclusive and representing minorities well within government positions and how they are viewed by people within the government.

@BayleeHowell06 @psyc220 I think it’s definitely important to discuss how mental illness can be seen differently in different gender identities, and I’m glad you brought it up!

[Andrew Eddy @eddyah_]

@amandafrisby220 @psyc220 For sure! I’m glad to see that this is becoming more talked about and less stigmatized. Especially since everyone deals with mental illness differently.

#CD6 @psyc220 Classism is a big one that’s not discussed in the book. SES is intersected by many other identities like gender, race, and ability, with all of these identities being capable of having an affect on SES

@4ngel4tr4n @psyc220 It’s especially bad when you think about people stealing bricks. Like, it seems like such a little thing that wouldn’t really affect things, but it just makes the uneven bricks problem worse.

@jdvick23 @psyc220 That sucks. I do know for cases of ADHD they’ll help in getting a diagnosis/prescription, but I wish they helped in getting diagnoses with more.

#cd5b I feel like inspiration porn happens with the type of campus we have in the first place. It’s very hilly and if someone with a disability involving chronic fatigue goes here, it’s all the more impressive and inspirational.

[Andrew Eddy @eddyah_]

#cd5a @psyc220 I’ve noticed at JMU there’s a disability parking space right behind Carrier, which is good, but the only spot along the curb that there’s an accessibility ramp has steps immediately past it and there’s no ramp to get to the entrance.

#220IdealAffect Comraderie: when I’m spending time with friends and getting along really well, and I feel happy because I’m with likeminded people that find my jokes to be funny :)

[Andrew Eddy @eddyah_]

@Hanhennessy @psyc220 #cd4 I think the phrase “feminism” definitely has a bad rap, but the idea behind it really seems like a good one to me.

[Andrew Eddy @eddyah_]

#cd4 @psyc220 Gender-based oppression affects more than just women because people are oppressed based on the gender that they’re attracted to, not just the gender they are.

[Andrew Eddy @eddyah_]

@MegCassidy26 @psyc220 #CD4 I feel like the reason that there’s such a stigma is because of TERFs, who make their whole deal out of only wanting equality for women and excluding anyone who doesn’t fit their standard of “woman,” which is just so hypocritical.

[Andrew Eddy @eddyah_]

@GabrieleHersch1 @psyc220 #CD3b great to see something positive with all the hot topics involving immigration. I really hope the programs they’re putting in place work in decreasing discrimination/violence

[Andrew Eddy @eddyah_]

@4ngel4tr4n @psyc220 #CD3b This to me brings up the issue in such a simple way that I can really appreciate. It’s messed up, how Native Americans have been treated, and I do think it’s worth bringing up in an argument about immigration.

[Andrew Eddy @eddyah_]

…it seems like an excuse to some extent to use her family’s immigrant status to discriminate against her and criticize her instead of judging her actions as a politician. (2/2)

[Andrew Eddy @eddyah_]

@psyc220 #CD3b These tweets are talking about how Braverman should be criticized based on policy and not her family, to which they, well. Continue to criticize her background. If the information provided is true, then I’d agree there’s grounds for criticism but… (1/2)

[Andrew Eddy @eddyah_]

CRT is something that brings concern because it’s something with a scary name that people don’t fully understand so it’s easy to make as the scary thing for the whole concept.

[Andrew Eddy @eddyah_]

@psyc220 #CD3a Race doesn’t have a biological basis, which is something I learned in my ANTH class my first year. It was originally made as a distinction between black, white, red, & yellow as a way of furthering divides between groups. (1/2)
