BACKGROUND to the Documentary Won’t You Be My Neighbor:

Mister Rogers and his philosophy of loving our neighbors as they are has gained momentum over the past year(s), especially since the release of the biographical documentary film Won’t You Be My Neighbor? in 2018. What’s more, … the film “A Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood” starring Tom Hanks as Fred Rogers was released…, reviving enthusiasm for Mr. Rogers fans.

 

Research in neuroscience (and psychology in general) suggests the lessons taught in The Neighborhood out of “an abiding interest in children,” and unconditional love does, in fact, reap benefits for children in the future. The concepts of acceptance, simplicity, conflict, and emotion are highlighted in Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood; and, while they may disturb comfort zones and status quo for some, there is a method behind the kindness madness.

Watch the TED Talk by Sangu Delle and then review the readings.

Watch the TED Talk by Sangu Delle and then review the readings. Focus on Delle’s examples illustrating Corrigan’s model about the stages of stigma and the hierarchy of disclosure. Consider Delle’s experience against that model. For the Assignment, you analyze the influence of stigma on experiences with and treatment of mental illness.

  1. Brief intro
  2. Briefly explain Corrigan’s model of the stages of stigma and his recommendations and hierarchy about recovery.
  3. Explain whether Delle’s experience follows that model. Use specific examples to argue your perspective. If you agree, identify which stage of recovery Delle is in.
  4. Analyze Delle’s reports about his own experiences with both types of stigma. Provide specific examples, and in your analysis consider the following questions:

-Does one type of stigma predominate in his talk?

-Which of Delle’s personal values or beliefs were challenged by his internalizations about his own illness and help-seeking?

-What strengths does he exhibit?

-What was the primary benefit of his diagnosis?

-Do you think his experience would be different if his culture was different? Explain why or why not?
