Ethics, Wednesday

[saddeserthermit]

Today the desks were shoved against the walls (and two guesses about how that had happened and "actually pushing things with their hands" wasn't the answer), with a giant piece of masking tape down the center of the room

Listen to the Lecture

[saddeserthermit]

Neither of your teachers has issues. Honest.

Exercise in Privilege

[saddeserthermit]

All stand on the line, please.

Question 1

[saddeserthermit]

"If you were ever called names because of your race, class, ethnicity, magical abilities, mutations, gender, or sexual orientation, take one step back."

Re: Question 1

[saddeserthermit]

What abuse the Jedi received could not be considered on the level of actual discrimination, Obi-Wan felt. So he remained.

Re: Question 1

[ihuntkillers]

Jasper didn't take any steps. He'd been called names but not for any of those reasons.

Discussion Question

[saddeserthermit]

"What does your final position say about your relative privilege? What might it mean for how you approach ethical questions?"

Re: Discussion Question

[goodforsix]

Isabela shrugged. "Not as much as you might think," she said. "For a start I'm behind Merrill."

Which she was glad of for Merrill's sake.

Re: Discussion Question

[saddeserthermit]

Obi-Wan's gaze darted briefly towards the elf girl. "And you believe you should not be?"

Re: Discussion Question

[goodforsix]

"I'm not unhappy I am." Not if it meant the other girl had missed a few unhappy experiences. "But she's an elf and I'm human, that makes a difference in the world where we're from, and it's not a good one for her."

Talk to the Teachers

[saddeserthermit]

That's why they're here. And only slightly awkward.

Re: Talk to the Teachers

[saddeserthermit]

Obi-Wan sat down after the exercise, and considered Anakin for a moment. This was the second time they had done this, after all.

Re: Talk to the Teachers

[sith_happened]

Anakin shrugged. "Those first ten years weren't the most delightful," he understated.

Re: Talk to the Teachers

[saddeserthermit]

"I know," Obi-Wan said. Quietly. "Perhaps if we do this again, we can steer these questions somewhat away from your past, if it would make you more comfortable."

They'd already done this twice, after all.
