Welcome. None of the articles shared under the 'BLOG ARCHIVE' are written by me (unless stated), or are about my life, they are just some of my favourite articles shared from my twitter account which are topics of interests surrounding counselling / therapy and psychology. The 'PERSONAL PAGE' section is a mixture of content, including some personal and Counselling Learning Reviews to help other students with meeting criteria. I've yet to start my own blogger, writing my own opinions yet :)

Racism: Jane Elliott's Blue Eyes/Brown Eyes Video
Jane Elliott, internationally known teacher, lecturer, diversity trainer, and recipient of the National Mental Health Association Award for Excellence in Education, exposes prejudice and bigotry for what it is, an irrational class system based upon purely arbitrary factors. And if you think this does not apply to you. . . you are in for a rude awakening.
In response to the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. over thirty years ago, Jane Elliott devised the controversial and startling, "Blue Eyes/Brown Eyes" exercise. This, now famous, exercise labels participants as inferior or superior based solely upon the color of their eyes and exposes them to the experience of being a minority. Everyone who is exposed to Jane Elliott's work, be it through a lecture, workshop, or video, is dramatically affected by it.
