Assignment Discussion - Expressing attitudes in strong and weak situations
Prompt:
Answer both parts of this exercise:
1. Reflect on an attitude that you wanted to express in a strong situation but could not because of social pressure (it felt inappropriate, uncomfortable, etc) and discuss the context in which this happened--what stopped you from stating your attitude? What consequences of stating your attitude stopped you?
2. Reflect on a weak situation in which you were able to more comfortably express this same attitude. What type of context was it? Was it easier to express your attitude in this different situation? Why?
