ü Understanding

With partners, answer the following:

1.      Where, when and with whom did this experiment take place?     

                 The United States of America, Tuesday morning in 1960, at school (Grade 3)

2.       Describe the experiment.

    

    The teacher did the experiment on the students which was about discrimination. In the first day, the teacher said people with blue eyes are better than brown eyes. In the next day she said the opposite in order to see student’s reaction.

3.      What were the results?                                                                                                                                        

            They hate something called discrimination because it distinguishes people based on color and that is not from justice.

4.      How successful do you believe it was?                                                                                                          

The experiment was successful and the students learned from prejudice. So, they will not apply this concept on human being.
