The speaker in this video, Bryan Stevenson, is the founder of the Equal Justice Initiative, a human rights organization that assists underrepresented people. During his talk, he discusses topics related to inequalities and considers historical, ethical practices that have shaped the way we collectively approach various social problems. Stevenson ends his Ted Talk by questioning our identity as a society and advocating for individuals to take action to create a more equitable social world. As you watch the Ted Talk, reflect on your identity as a human services professional who must take diversity issues, multicultural experiences, and social justice initiatives into ethical consideration. Because the counseling profession, for instance, emphasizes social justice and advocacy, counselors are ethically responsible to “recognize and advocate to eliminate racism, sexism, classism, homoprejudice, ableism, ageism, and religious bias” (Remley & Herlihy, 2020, p. 78). As you describe the social problem, address some of the cultural ideologies, diversity issues, and ethical dilemmas underlying this problem. How would you adapt your helping strategies and identity as a human services professional to meet the needs of diverse individuals? What are some of your personal limitations (e.g., bias, reaction patterns, interpersonal style, lack of knowledge, and the like)? Evaluate any legal issues in human services that might be considered when working with diverse populations. What steps would you take to advocate for eliminating inequality? Finally, create a discussion question and place it at the end of your initial post. This discussion question can be general (e.g., a basic question about a topic in the video that stood out to you). Alternatively, you can ask a question that connects the topics in the video to current events or something else you have read about in this course or another human services-related course.
