Zeitgeist UNIVERSITY, upside down thinking


My son in university has to take these quizzes regularly to qualify for his work study job. I see much irony in the names of the characters and the country this is being taught in. I thought it would be interesting for AM people to get a peek.

In one of his classes, about environment, white people had one set of questions, all others another set. Ie: “Imagine yourself outside. How has white privilege impacted your interaction with nature?” Other races had to reflect on how the environment helped them deal with oppression .

My daughter in school here in Turkey likewise has courses just about this. One class, called Post Colonialism promotes shameful regret for a history of whites impacting any other culture in any way.

It’s a disease and brainwashing.

That said, examples like this helps me in writing some of my characters.
