Jeanine Joy will give a 60-90 minute presentation on microaggressions and trigger warnings. She will discuss how complaints about microaggressions related to race, religion, gender and weight have increased. While being sensitive to others is important, what constitutes offense can vary between cultures. The presentation will teach participants about microaggressions and provide three practical ways individuals can reduce feeling disempowered by perceived microaggressions by changing their own perceptions.

Title: Microaggressions and Trigger Warnings. Oh My!
Speaker: Jeanine Joy
Length: 60 – 90 minutes
Audience Participation: Yes
Outline:
Interpersonal communication can be as difficult to master as catching a greased pig at the
county fair. Our society tends to believe people meant to communicate what we hear them say
and that the speaker or writer knew how we would take their words. The media is full of stories
about Millennials complaining about microaggressions or demanding trigger warnings before
someone talks about sensitive topics.
Complaints about microaggressions about race, religion, gender, and weight become more
common every day.
There are two sides to the issue. One is being sensitive to others’ potential interpretations. The
problem is that we live in a diverse world where something that it is rude not to do in one
culture is considered rude to do by another culture. Education about how to be sensitive only
goes so far. What can we do?
The real damage from microaggressions is the negative emotional state they create in the
person who perceives the aggression. The good news is that individuals can learn practical ways
to reduce the negative impact—something they can control.
Participants will learn:
1. High-level overview of microaggressions
2. Three ways to change their perception so they do not feel disempowered by perceived
microaggressions

The document discusses sensationalism in Pakistani media. It defines sensationalism as a style of reporting news that uses fear, anger, and excitement to increase viewership and profits rather than providing accurate information. The document argues that Pakistani media frequently focuses on superficial or sensational details of stories rather than broader issues. It provides several examples of how Pakistani media has exaggerated or misreported issues, potentially damaging national interests or people's reputations. The document concludes by suggesting limiting media exposure and choosing news sources carefully to avoid the negative effects of sensationalism.

This document discusses several topics related to the masses and political communication in America: 1. The condition of America's masses is increasingly unequal, with wealth becoming more concentrated and real wages declining for unskilled workers. Attitudes are increasingly distrustful and cynical due to issues like the global economy. 2. Intolerance toward unpopular groups is rising, which has contributed to the growth of counterelites. Views on issues like immigration differ based on education levels. 3. Mass media play a key role in political communication as the main link between elites and voters. News organizations influence the issues that are discussed by deciding what qualifies as news. Media coverage also emphasizes candidates' images over policies.

Teachers can take several actions to reduce prejudice in their students based on understanding intent vs impact, microaggressions, stereotypes, and implicit bias. First, teachers should recognize that while the intent of words or actions may not be to cause harm, the impact on others is important. Second, teachers must acknowledge common microaggressions and prejudices to help students identify unconscious biases. Third, teachers should help students recognize how stereotypes form and influence implicit biases so students can challenge preconceived notions. Finally, teachers can continue self-educating to serve as allies, develop community, and guide students in reducing prejudice through open discussion of these concepts.

The document discusses several theories related to mass communication and its effects on society, including: 1) Direct effects models which assume media messages lead to predictable responses are contrasted with indirect effects models which recognize people respond differently based on backgrounds. 2) Uses and gratifications theory examines what audience members seek from media use and whether their needs are met. 3) Cultivation analysis suggests heavy television viewing can influence viewers' perceptions of the world, such as believing it is more dangerous. 4) Other theories discussed include agenda setting, social learning, spiral of silence, and media logic.

The author argues that inequality is the global issue they are most passionate about solving. Inequality has been rising globally for decades and has led to issues like malnutrition, overpopulation, disease and human rights violations. While some progress has been made in reducing extreme poverty, economic gaps continue to widen as the richest amass more wealth. The author calls on society to start making significant decisions to address inequality and make positive changes, because our shared future depends on treating each other with equality and consideration.

SOC350 Cultural Diversity Paige Massey A person has just started a world travel experience, and here they land in Japan where they will be spending a night with a welcoming host family. Everything is fantastic the guest speaks a small bit of Japanese and is able to communicate with them. The guest is invited to a family dinner in their house. As the meal begins the entire family is enjoying the food so much that it is increasing the guest’s biggest pet peeve, slurping the food. Little does the guest know that their pet peeve is a sign of appreciation in the country of Japan. The guest is not participating in the slurping as they were taught that slurping was an activity that was looked down upon by Americans. This is an example of a social faux pas in the country of Japan. Personally a social faux pas that really turns me off is hacking and spitting in public areas. It just creates the heebe jeebes because I was taught social ettique. Can words breach the idea of social ettique, or is it just considered social faux pas? A social faux pas can be confused with microaggressions. Microaggressions are defined as acts of mostly non physical aggression -- they are common place verbal, behavioral, or environmental indignities that can be intentional or unintentional and communicate derogatory slights. Racial microaggressions suggests that people of color endure physical and physiological distress (Robinson-Wood et al., 2018). These microaggressions occur across many different identities such as skin color, body size, mental ability, age, and social class. When a person fits into multiple identities that overlap such as being gay and black, can experience more microaggressions versus a person who is white and gay. There are a lot of words that describe microaggressions, but what actually is an example of microaggressions? If you have ever walked through Target wearing khakis and a red shirt and automatically being asked to help a customer, you have experienced a microaggression. You were assumed to be in a service role just because of the clothes you were wearing. According to Byrd, some examples of microaggressions include being stared at in the dining hall, asking an Asian person “you must be good at math, can you help me with this problem?”, or when someone merely crosses a street to avoid a person of color (Byrd, 2018). People are not necessarily conscious of these actions. It can be a taught attribute; like crossing the road to avoid a person of color, the person’s parent could have been thinking they are protecting the child from a potentially scary situation like a mugging. The child then learned that they should avoid any colored person on the street. The unconscious nature of humans can lead to some hurtful actions. Microaggressions can cause a toll on a person’s mind. It can take a lot of thinking to try and make sense of the interpersonal interactions. This characteristic is known as attributional ambiguity. The expenditure of cognitive e.

Successful Diaster Recovery Requires Resilient EmployeesJeanine Joy, Author, Keynote Speaker, Consultant

This document discusses the importance of considering employee resilience in disaster recovery plans. It notes that while plans account for the psychological toll of crises, they do not assess the baseline resilience of staff. Research shows that only a minority of people are able to maintain usual functioning when faced with major life events. The document recommends that business continuity plans identify resilient individuals who will be reliable during crises, as the day-to-day reliable employees may not be the same. It also suggests making short-term adjustments or long-term solutions to accommodate employees with low resilience.
