A triage system seems like a common-sense idea, however, it had to start somewhere. Turns out it has only been around in its recognizable form for a couple of centuries. Most people think of triage as it pertains to medicine, and there is some interesting information here that we discussed, however, triage has also been applied to mental health systems, as well as academic support. Everywhere that people have implemented a triage system, that system improved. This might be one of the human race’s greatest inventions! Or at least one that we are very excited about.

ATTENTION! We are hosting our very first live stream event in celebration of our 3-year anniversary. The event will be on May 1st at 5:00 pm PST/8:00 pm EST. Join the whole time for this fun and interactive episode!

142 | Altruism | Why We Do What We Do

We do our best to define altruism through the ways others have defined it. We break down the philosophical traditions that have tried to define, explain, and promote altruism. We read from some religious texts on altruism. We failed to point out in this discussion that if someone were to intend harm and do good, that would technically meet the definition of altruism but also not be something we’d want to promote. In the end, we advocate for prosocial behavior and point out that the definition is not particularly helpful right now.

When you control for other factors, minorities are far more likely to receive office discipline referrals, detention, and expulsion. How far does racial inequality go in school discipline? What can be done to mitigate this problem? Dr. Kent McIntosh is the director for Educational and Community Supports in the College of Education at the University of Oregon and an expert in disproportionality in school discipline. He joined us for a discussion on this important topic that goes deeper than you might think.
