ABSTRACT
This chapter deals with a course activity aimed at undergraduate or graduate classes in human development or multicultural awareness. The activity concerns the reality of economic mobility and demonstrates what being economically disadvantaged means, particularly in the context of upward mobility. The chapter lists the learning objectives, and outlines the setting and the materials needed for the activity. It provides a set of instructions for conducting the activity, and several process questions as part of the post-activity discussion for the students. The learning objectives are: increasing awareness about privilege and social mobility; identifying problems faced by those lacking privilege; and strategizing ways to create equitable conditions in the classroom and counseling environments.
