1ETHICS AND PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE
What makes sense? What doesn't?
The authors Anderson & Middleton as well as Sue, in the books talk about racial
discriminations that are faced by colored people worldwide. Both the chapters are makes
complete sense. It is definitely true that white, heterosexuals, able bodied people and males
are given preferential treatment in a very subtle way. It is practices in such a manner that it
has become a norm amongst us. In many cases people who enjoy this privilege do not even
consider them as such. They have become accustomed to this treatment and think that it is
what constitutes normal. It is also true that most of the times people who are privileged
overlook the racial or other forms of discriminations or do not take heed of them much. In
many times they also think that the people that claim that they are suffering are exaggerating
or false claiming, in order to attract attention to themselves or their cause. It also makes sense
that it has become necessary that the psychological therapists and other privileged people that
are willing to help need to address the issue with empathy and open mind and heart. In most
cases, being skeptical about towards the account of a victim who has faced discriminatory
behavior makes them resent the privileged races. They might develop blind hatred and the
result might be fatal.
The thing that does not makes sense is whether counselling or psychological treatments are
enough for the victims. It also does not make sense what role the politicians and the leaders
are playing in minimizing and eradicating these discriminatory practices.
What makes you uncomfortable? Why?
The Anderson & Middleton chapter describes incidents where African Americans or more
generally the colored people experiences invisibility in social situations. In those incidents,
the victims were treated as invisible when they went up to receptionists, or order receivers or
help desk personnel. This incident makes me uncomfortable as this shows blatant disregard
