Class Divided – Blue Eyes, Brown Eyes

Class Divided – Blue Eyes, Brown Eyes


Well this movie is about a class of 6th graders educated on how to not identify between white and black people. And it take in USA with Ms. Jane Elliott's, in 1970. In addition, 1968 is important because it was the year when the black people got their freedom after all the revolutions, the civil wars and the fighting
The teacher divided the class to two groups depend on eyes color if it's brown or blue, so in first day blue eye people are the better and smarter people who get so many advantages while the brown eye people are the low class ones who are slow and don’t get any benefits and the rest treat them badly. The second day the scales flipped so the brown eye people get to be the better ones. During the two days you can see how the experiment affects the students in so many ways, the way they act, their studies and the way the treat each other.
In final, the students understood should don't separate between the people who have different religion or language or anything, so the result is the students promise their teacher to treat everyone equal.
I think the teacher plan successful, because she reached the idea to her students and let them to live the problem, so it like to build a small society in classroom. In such an age you can only get the truth and honest point view on how would a person feel if he will be judge by others?
