These authors and speakers have begun to inform us about concepts such as racism, social privilege, cultural perception, unintended bias, and cultural empathy. Singularly, these concepts define different aspects and dynamics of marginalization and oppression. This singularity, however, may limit our understanding of how these concepts systematically operate in our lives, our society, and our culture. A systemic perspective may serve to not only broaden our view, but also reveal ways that cultural marginalization can be delimited and mitigated. A systemic perspective may allow us to better answer the question “Well, what can we do?”
Consider how your worldview may have been challenged and/or informed regarding concepts such as social privilege, unintended bias, and cultural empathy. Then turn your attention to the following questions and formulate your main post:
● What are the relationships, if any, between the concepts of unearned privilege, institutionalized racism, microaggression, and unintended bias?
● How do concepts of empathy, and specifically cultural empathy, serve to address the concepts discussed in the previous question?
● How do all of these concepts inform the role of counselors as social justice advocates? Is empathy sufficient?
