Biased Attitudes Part 1: Social Identity and Groups

This lesson explores the concept of culture using the Cultural Iceberg Model, examining both visible elements and hidden patterns that shape behavior. Through personal reflection, video analysis, and interactive activities, students learn to distinguish between surface-level cultural elements (like food and festivals) and deeper cultural patterns (like values and beliefs). Students create their own cultural icebergs to examine their cultural influences, then critically analyze how certain deep cultural norms might contribute to harm or bias in their communities.
