Microaggressions: a necessity

Microaggressions are a controversial topic. Some agree that this concept is useful, while others insist that the word itself invites aggression into a conversation, and that the concept makes people more aware and defensive of these subtle, back-handed racist remarks. I propose that microaggressions are a concept worth studying, as the trauma that microaggressions cause could be prevented if people were educated and trained properly on how to prevent microaggressions before they ever begin. Furthermore, the training will also educate people on how to show compassion after they have committed the microaggression and how to handle the situation appropriately. This paper will also address those who are in support of microaggressions and relay their facts and statistics to the reader. I will also address those that suggest that education and training is not necessary on this topic. I will rebuke their sentiments with facts and data that illustrate how damaging microaggressions can be, and that their recommendations of abandoning this word is the worst idea possible.M.A.Includes bibliographical reference
