Extra Credit

The extra credit was interesting to me to see where I fall when it comes to males and females in their careers and family life. I was put into the moderate association of male with career and female with family compared to female with career and male with family. Believe it or not I really am this way. I believe that alot of it has to do with the way I rasied my mom was a stay at home mom my whole life and still is. My dad was a hard working accountant providing for his family. I take a look at my siblings and each of their families are a little different. My oldest sister is a stay at home mom with her three kids while her husband provides for the family. My brother and his wife both work he works at stoffers and she is a teacher they do not have any kids. My sister works and goes to school and her husband works at the airport and they do not have any kids. Then there is me, both my husband and I work and go school. I have been able to see many view of career and family, men and women. Even though I am getting an education and will some day use it I hope to me a stay at home mom and raise my family. Everyone is different all people and all situations you have to do what is best for you!

The other extra credit assignment of bias toward European Americans comparedto African Americans was interesting as well. I was placed in the moderate automatic prefernece for European American compared to African American. I would not say was bias to one race over another, although I have grown up in Utah Valley my whole life where I was not subject to other races very often. My family grew up learning how to treat everyone with fairness and not put anyone stereo type with one person. I feel that I grew up understanding the importants of equality among races and feel that I have an understanding of what bias can do to people and our country.

Over all I feel that these test are pretty generalized for a broad range of people. It does make you think how you really feel towards these subjects and which way you tend to lean towards.
