- Schema-a representation of a plan or theory in the form of an outline or model. In psychological terms, it is when a cognitive framework or concept that helps organize and interpret information
- It can be useful because it allows us to take shortcuts in interpreting information in the available environment
- Dangerous because it excludes pertinent information that is available to that environment

- Verbal, nonverbal, peraverbal communication (used on a day-to-day basis and can offend other people who take a particular thing the wrong way)
- Verbal-to convey a meaning
- Nonverbal-body language, hand movement, distance between people personal space, eye contact with one another
- Peraverbal-qualities of voice, volume, speed and pace used by the speaker, tone, talking fluently and then abruptly pausing
- the right to your opinion-how you should question and validate other`s opinions based on cold hard facts provided by them
- type of experimental ideas:
- theoretical-it is the "world" of ideas and information provided
- Applied- that it can be used and tested in the real world and where there will be results
Questions that we came up with:
- How do we know racial profiling when we see it?
- Why is racism such a huge problem?
- What are the causes of racism and how can it be fixed?
- What forms can be found in racism?
- Why are people racist?
- Describe the history of racism in this country going back to about the 1800`s.
