The abolitionist movement

  1. What do you know about this movement and those involved in it? What have you learned by reading the texts by some
    of the authors assigned this week and last? Chose one or two of the works by some of these
    authors and look at them in a deeper sense. What elements do you see prevalent in their writing?
    Are there some elements that are found in both works and some just one? Explore these texts and
    just see where it takes you!

2: This week all of the authors assigned were either slaves or responsible for abolishing slavery.
Compare the works written by each to one another. You may chose to look at the slave narratives
next to one another or chose to look at a slave narrative against a non slave narrative. Look at the
styles of writing they use. How do their views differ from one another or how might they be similar
in some ways.

3: How did Frederick Douglass make an impact on the world that we live in today?

4: What can we learn about slavery from the life of Frederick Douglass?

5: Discuss the historical significance of Frederick Douglass’ speech, “The Meaning of July Fourth
for the Negro.” Discuss the historical significance of Frederick Douglass’ speech, “The Meaning of

Questions:

  1. How do you think the researchers felt during their experiments? Did they look like they were having fun,
    did they look nervous, did they look uncomfortable or comfortable, etc? Was there a difference in how the
    professional researchers looked compared to the student researchers (in terms of whether they looked
    comfortable, were having fun, etc)?
  2. How did the study subjects react to deviant behaviors? Were reactions explicit and extreme, or were they
    implicit and subtle?
  3. Did any of the study subjects try to pretend that the deviant behavior was normal? Were study subjects
    more likely to normalize the behavior of a single deviant person, or of a group of deviant people? Why do
    you think this is so?
  4. Did any of the researchers receive sanctions? If so, what positive sanctions did you observe, and what
    negative sanctions did you observe? Were study subjects more likely to provide explicit positive sanctions to
    a single deviant person, or to a group of deviant people? Were study subjects more likely to provide explicit
    negative sanctions to a single deviant person, or to a group of deviant people? Why do you think this is so?
  5. Today, researchers (either students or professionals) typically have to get approval from an IRB
    (Institutional Review Board) before conducting a breaching experiment, to make sure that the proposed
    study will not harm its subjects (if undue physical, emotional, psychological, or social harm is expected to
    come of participants, the study cannot be performed). Now that you have observed a few breaching
    experiments, what harm do you think could befall study subjects? Could researchers be harmed by the
    subjects’ reactions in any way? Do you think it is important to protect subjects while conducting research?
    Do you think it is ethical to perform breaching experiments, or not? Explain.
