Psychology Project: Ethnocentricism
I've been handed a very interesting project topic for my individual presentation in my Psych 101 class. Ethnocentricism. Yeaaaah, talk about a loaded topic, but hell, it FASCINATES me. Technically, it's "Ethnocentricism and Prejudice."
I need to do a 20-slide (no more than that) Powerpoint Presentation. It's got to have a picture on every slide. I need to present ONE video of approximately 3 to 5 minutes. The spoken presentation must be approximately 30 minutes. It's due on October 8th. I want to have it done at least a week ahead of time because I know that SHIT HAPPENS.
I want this presentation to be relevant, poignant, and interesting. I'm the second-to-oldest person in the class. I think I'm the only one who already has a bachelor's degree. Most of the people in the class are between 18 and 20 years old. I don't care as much about the grade as about doing something GOOD.
So... I'm a biologist and an EMT. While I have a decent layman's understanding of these concepts, I know there are a lot of people in our fandom who are amazingly knowledgeable about these topics. Would you be willing to refer me to any quality references? Essays, books, sources, etc. that you've read and enjoyed? Concepts that you feel should be introduced?
I'm not an expert here, and I know it. I'm already hunting for articles and sources, but more is better. I also know that some of the people I've met in fandom are some of the best experts in these areas that I've ever met.
Any advice for a Psych 101 student?
