@maddie_leckert @psyc220 I agree. Our children pick up on the conversations that aren't directly spoken towards them and the words that are used to describe members of a certain group. All of that influences the way that look at and treat others. @psyc220 #cd7

[Sarah Eggleston @egglestonsk23]

@SarahCaufield @psyc220 In doing so, they are reinforcing a cycle of privilege and oppression by unequally providing resources to the people who know how to ask for them and have the voice to do so. @psyc220 #CD7

[Sarah Eggleston @egglestonsk23]

@SarahCaufield @psyc220 @psyc220 #cd7 I also want to be a school psychologist, and I know that there is a shortage of people fulfilling this job. As a result, school psychologists are spread very thin and can end up more serving privileged schools at the cost of students who come from a lower SES...

@terrykiiim @jesszoggpsych @psyc220 I appreciate you choosing this intersection of identities to write about, because it is such an apparent issue. Not only that, but the pay gap is even wider for women of color or women who identify as lesbian. #CD6 @psyc220

@velasqea @psyc220 @psyc220 #CD6 A lot of negative assumptions come with being Islamic and a person of color.Although being male is not a "minority identity", the intersection between being male and a Muslim in the US does create unique challenges because many people take them to be threats.

@SammiSitzman @psyc220 @psyc220 #220ethics I think this message also emphasizes ethic of autonomy in terms of avoiding harm.

@ninasusername @psyc220 @psyc220 #CD5B This is such a critical change needing to be made. Pharmaceutical companies should not be able to charge outrageous prices for life-saving medications. The fact that people sacrifice food in order to make sure they can afford insulin is horrible.

[Sarah Eggleston @egglestonsk23]

@carolineglovis1 @psyc220 #CD5b @psyc220 This image and explanation goes along with what Stella Young talks about in her TEDTalk. Disabled people are frequently told that they are "so inspiring" for doing the same things that able-bodied people do. Disabled people do not necessarily want to be called...

@psyc220 ...their families. As for "inspiration porn", this example demonstrates how by pretending that disabilities do not exist, we are overlooking and dismissing the experiences of people who have had to face issues with accessibility. @psyc220 #CD5b

[Sarah Eggleston @egglestonsk23]

@psyc220 #CD5b McCauliffe's plan to increase funding to increase VA's supply of affordable permanent supportive housing would have removed a barrier for disabled people who are unable to live fully independently, but who seek a sense of adult independence from living with...

@allie_pritz @psyc220 ...People should not have to have to worry about such things when traveling around campus. @psyc220 #C5a

[Sarah Eggleston @egglestonsk23]

@allie_pritz @psyc220 #CD5A @psyc220 Your mention of loose bricks reminded me of a time last year that I rolled my ankle, fell, and hurt myself pretty badly on the quad. Although I am able to laugh about it now, I feel like this is a legitimate concern that could put someone else at risk of injury...

[Sarah Eggleston @egglestonsk23]

@BrookeScanlon15 @psyc220 @psyc220 #CD5a Our campus as a whole seems that it would be difficult for people who are physically disabled to get around since it is so hilly. Though this isn't exactly something that we can change, we can make efforts so that people don't have to circumnavigate and take an...

@marissahart23 @psyc220 #Cd4 @psyc220 Exactly! Labels can sometimes hurt us more than they help.

[Sarah Eggleston @egglestonsk23]

@samipsych @psyc220 @psyc220 #cd4 I think it's beneficial that you noted that feminism is not just about female equality. It is multifaceted and takes into account many oppressed groups. Feminism allows many people from many backgrounds to embrace a shared cause.

[Sarah Eggleston @egglestonsk23]

@BPsyc220 @psyc220 ...having some deep implication about gender. Ideas like this make people feel like they are boxed into behaving a certain way in order to avoid discrimination or alienation. #CD4 @psyc220

[Sarah Eggleston @egglestonsk23]

@BPsyc220 @psyc220 @psyc220 #cd4 I responded very similarly to you, mentioning how before we are even born we are characterized by either pink or blue. As a child, I heard all the time that pink was a "girl color". As a society, we take arbitrary things like the color pink and perceive them as...

@psyc220 ...to be "the standard by which other people are judged." Thus, if an immigrant is not white, they are already at a setback in their ability to assimilate and conform into American society. @psyc220 #CD3b

[Sarah Eggleston @egglestonsk23]

@psyc220 #cd3b This TikTok points out how race is often conflated with nationality, as we have an easier time accepting White immigrants as "passing Americans" than we do people of other races. The book points out the invisibility of whiteness, and how we consider white people...
