Gavin Case · Answer 1

The correct answer is c:

The effects of prejudice and discrimination on the targets of prejudice.

Explanation:

The film "A Class Divided" is based in the experiment of the school teacher Jane Elliott with her third graders; in which she divides the class into brown and blue eyes. The idea of the experiment is to treat in a preferential way the blue eye students for one day, and then the next day she changes the preference for the brown eyes. After all, students narrate their feelings to the cameras, and of course, it was clear to notice they felt all the discrimination when it was the preference day for the others. They explained about the frustration, fear, unconformity feelings that they experienced during the experiment.
