Case 20.1: Developing Dave's Service Plan

Dave is a 49-year-old bartender who is currently going through a divorce initiated by his wife. Dave and his wife have two children: a boy, aged 6 and a girl, aged 9. Dave states that he and his wife decided to separate and then divorce after his wife complained on numerous occasions about his work responsibilities. He states that his wife told him that his work hours and the social contacts he made as a result of his job at the bar were incompatible with the kind of family life she wanted for herself and her children. Dave co-owns his home with his wife and is letting her have the house for the sake of the children. He has taken up with a woman who frequents his bar and recently moved in with her in a different part of the town, "giving me a place to put my things."

Dave is requesting help in restoring his marriage and is looking for marriage counseling. He is not sure his wife will agree. Additionally, Dave wants help in considering alternative training or education so that he is no longer dependent on his skills as a bartender for his income.

Dave has a high school diploma and has completed four college courses, all of them general education courses. Dave has a close relationship with his sister who lives in the same part of the town where he is currently living. "She gives me a lot of support." He is a member of the St. Paul's Methodist church but has not been to church in over a year. Dave indicates that he joined the church in order to please his wife but never got much out of going there, though he likes the minister at the church. Dave describes his relationship with his daughter as close. Since he left, his daughter calls him every night to go over homework. Unfortunately, his work schedule often cuts these calls short or he is not able to take the calls.

Dave is willing to begin seeing a counselor on his own in the hope that his wife will join him at some point.

Provide some reasons for why oppression is so difficult to see. Can you think of examples where you became aware of an oppressive practice that you originally did not see as oppressive?

you will be analyzing racial stereotypes and how those stereotypes are reinforced or challenged by the portrayal of race in TV and film. Begin by completing the sentences below with the first racial/ethnic stereotype that comes to mind. The stereotype does not have to be accurate, nor does it have to be one that you subscribe to (or believe in). Just write whatever pops into your head.

• Mexicans are...
• Blacks are...
• Asians are...
• Muslims are...
• Whites are...

Now, you get to watch some TV. Yes, you heard me right! I want you to pick a show (an episode of a series or a movie) that has a character from a minority group. Your character cannot be white; he or she must be from a racial minority group (Latinx, African American, Asian, Middle Eastern, Native American, etc.).

Begin by describing your character. Describe the traits, positions, and actions of your racial/ethnic character. What is your character's occupational prestige? How far did they have to go in school to get the job they have? Was the character shown as deviant/criminal or law abiding? A leader or follower? Do they live in a nice home or in government housing? Are they married or single? Rich or poor? Etc. As you write your descriptions, be sure to include at least three (3) traits or positions that your character held.

Now write about how the way your racial/ethnic character was portrayed affects the racial stereotypes we have here in the United States? How did your character's portrayal reinforce the stereotype held by Americans? Or, in what way did your character's portrayal challenge the stereotypes Americans have about that racial/ethnic group?

To sum up, you need to include at least three (3) traits/positions that your chosen character holds, and at least two (2) ways that widely held stereotypes about that racial/ethnic group were either reinforced or challenged. Be as specific as possible.
