My students love prank and social experiment videos and one student recently sent this one my way.
In the video, a man loses his wallet on purpose and then follows the man who found it. As they pranksters follow and film the man who found they wallet, they are guided by assumptions about him based on appearance. The man eventually returns the wallet, surprising the pranksters (and the student who sent the video to me).
I think a good class activity would be to discuss that emotion, being surprised, and talk about what that means about our assumptions of people. Would you be surprised if an elderly white woman returned the wallet?
