3. Does skin color determines the life chances for people?
4. Does skin color determines the life chances for people of color (minorities)?
5. Is skin color more of a determinant for women than men?
6. Have you heard of the term, “colorism”?
7. Have you heard of the term, “pigmentocracy”?
8. Does the social construction of skin complexion affect the social construction of the workplace?
9. Have darker skinned individuals convinced themselves that their color is acceptable, but not resolved the internal emotional conflict? Self esteem/ self concept/self identity?
