The Insight Problem Scenarios I chose was scenario 1 closet light. The process I used consists of me flipping the first light switch on and then opening the door to see if that switch turns the light on. If the first switch did not turn the light on, I would then turn the first switch back off and attempt to try the 2nd switch. If the 2nd switch does not turn the light on, then the 3rd switch must control the light. I would then flip the 3rd switch to turn on the light. According to the college of the canyons when you are presented with a problem whether it is a complex mathematical problem or a broken printer, before finding a solution to the problem, the problem must first be clearly identified. After that, one of many problem-solving strategies can be applied, hopefully resulting in a solution (College of the Canyons. (n.d.). After completing this assignment, I used the trial-and-error method to figure out which light switch controls the light.

A heuristic example occurs in my everyday life, when choosing a gas station to put gas in my car. I normally try to figure out which gas stations have cheap gas before I drive across town by either comparing gas prices, traffic and the distance to get there. This differed from the insight problem scenario I chose because heuristics rely on mental shortcuts and speed rather than trying multiple solutions until one works. The heuristics method is you working backwards to take short cuts.

An algorithmic example occurred when I tried to make a chocolate German cake. I have never made this type of cake before. I had to follow the cake recipe step by step in order for the cake to come out good. This algorithmic method is different from the method I use in the closet light scenario. In the algorithm, I follow a recipe step by step to make the cake. In the l t li ht i I th t i l d th d I b i ll k t li i ti th it h

OBJECTIFICATION AND OPPOSITIONAL IDENTITY

In Week 2, you learned about stigma and privilege. Privilege results in preferential treatment, and stigma results in negative treatment. Stigma involves objectification, or treating people as if they are objects and members of a category rather than as individuals. In the A Class Divided video clip, you saw the teacher Jane Elliott use an exercise in her third grade classroom to teach students about discrimination. She used discrimination as the overarching term. Here discrimination includes objectification, stigma, and privilege. When people encounter discrimination, they may redefine their identity. In this Discussion, you will consider how identity can be redefined as a result of objectification. In addition, you will address the concept of oppositional identity, which occurs when individuals embrace the way they are objectified and act in a way that reinforces the objectification.

To prepare for this Discussion:

Review the "Framework Essay" in Section I in the course text and the article "Why Are All the Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria?" Pay particular attention to the discussion regarding objectification and oppositional identity. Review the Frontline video clip, A Class Divided. Look for examples of objectification and oppositional identity in the clip. Consider how objectification and oppositional identity influenced students in Jane Elliott's exercise to redefine their racial and ethnic identities.
