Watching PBS again! O.J. The Verdict on Frontline topic got me thinking. The main thesis of the show was that African Americans viewed the trial differently from how the white population viewed the trial.Most African Americans believed that O.J. was framed by the police and thereby had reasonable doubt.
White viewers, not having experienced police brutality saw him as guilty.
This made me think about how an economic lecture is viewed by people with different backgrounds. How can this be used to create a classroom discussion? Or is this an obstacle to learning? Do white students see things differently then let say a Hispanic student? Does a well to do student have more difficulty with Scarcity than a less fortunate student?
