Systemic Racism and Bias in Psychology History Discussion

I’m working on a psychology discussion question and need a sample draft to help me learn.

Why is it important to know the history of Psychology?

Check out these two pages – one about womenLinks to an external site. – one about people of color Links to an external site. – this was never taught to me when I learned about psychology in the 1980s – it was ALL old white men with beards (and being taught by old white people at the time as well). 

Does the book do a good job explaining Systemic Racism and Bias in the history of Psychology?

Look at your Background (My Cultural background is russian/estonian – so Pavlov is my people!) 

In the history of Psychology are they any people from your cultural heritage? (here is an example)Links to an external site. 

My own son said the following during his 8th grade history class  –    “What has happened is already over – lets look to the future” and  “Who cares!” and  “This is so boring.” and “That’s Cap”

Do you agree or disagree?
