The content of this course was very good and the presenter is obviously an expert in this field. She did a very good job explaining and describing everything. My critique with the content and presentation is when she was discussing the differences in people ears. She shows a white female ear and says this is a normal, "ideal" ear and compares it to the ear of a little boy who is a person of color and describes this as not ideal or normal. This is referenced more than once and really is concerning the way it is presented. I agree that all ears are different and this should be addressed given the topic, but one ear should not be labeled as normal or ideal vs abnormal or not ideal. Even the slide that shows how ears are all unique only includes white ears. If you really want to show differences and be inclusive, there should be ears from varying races and ethnicities. We know there would be various colors of ears available because we see examples of people of color who had these surgeries done. I am planning to use this video for students, but at the same time I am concerned that we are not providing enough diversity in the images that students and professionals see. We all need to become more accustom to seeing racial and ethnical differences as just that, a difference- not an abnormality.
