Dr. Jerome Rabow (2005), 43 min. Despite the considerable social advances of the 21st century, intolerance remains a persistent problem in the modern world. Education is the only solution: by admitting prejudices within ourselves, can we take the next step of shedding these negative attributes. Professor Rabow’s Sociology class at UCLA puts this theory to the test as he moderates the discussion among ethnically and culturally diverse students in his class, encouraging the flow of ideas and creating an atmosphere in which students can share their views on and experiences with racism, sexism and homophobia. The goal is to create a dialogue, encouraging the participants to discuss the issues at hand while questioning their own attitudes, forcing them to come to terms with their own self-worth, self-image and cultural pride. Post-screening discussion by Dr. Jerome Rabow (UCLA).
