Episode Description & Reflection Prompts: Race: The Power of an Illusion
Note: You do not have to answer each of these reflection prompts. Just use them to get you thinking. The questions are based on Race: The Power of an Illusion Discussion Guide (2003).
Episode 1 – The Difference Between Us: The Difference Between Us examines the contemporary science – including genetics – that challenges our common sense assumptions that human beings can be bundled into three or four fundamentally different groups according to their physical traits.
Reflection Prompts:
What is the difference between a biological and a social view of race?
Why is it impossible to use biological characteristics to sort people into consistent races?
What kinds of biological differences were early scientists looking for to suggest that people of different races are fundamentally different?
Who has benefited from the belief that we can sort people according to race and that there are natural or biologically based differences between racial groups?
“Just because race isn’t something biological, that doesn’t mean it’s not real.” What are some of the real social consequences of race?
Anthropologist Alan Goodman says that “to understand why the idea of race is a biological myth requires a major paradigm shift.” Do you agree? Did the film present anything that shifted your thinking in major way? If so, what? Is it difficult to make this shift? Why?
