Introduction Microaggression as a term was introduced to the science in the 1970s and, since then, has been actively researched by scholars and discussed by publicity. It addresses the discrimination of the minorities by race, gender, sexual orientation and includes such subcategories as microassaults, microinsults, and microinvalidations that characterize microaggression in its different manifestations (Wiliams 7). Many scholars argue that the problem of microaggression in the modern US society is exaggerated and there is no urgency in the implementation of any interventions aimed at its resolving. However, the variety of everyday situations experienced by the minorities in their social, professional, and educational life, as well as their adverse outcomes, imply the need for further research in the field. In Lilienfeld’s opinion, the study of this issue poses even more unresolved questions which doubt the necessity of any interventions targeting microaggression. Nevertheless, universities and businesses should continue to offer microaggression sensitivity training for their employees due to the acuity of the equality problems in the contemporary, diverse US society. Presentation of the Evidence Supporting the Thesis In his article “Microaggression?”, Scott O Lilienfeld, a professor of psychology at Emory college, argues the necessity of addressing minor manifestations of racism or any other forms of discrimination from the scientific point of view. At the same time, the author includes some proofs of the existence of the problem. Indeed, the very phenomenon of microaggression is recognized by sociology and psychology as a vitally important question to be researched (Lilienfeld). The statistical data retrieved as a result of researches underlines the acuity of the discrimination problem in the United States of America. According to the observations and sociological questionnaires, about 5 percent of American citizens shred their reluctance to vote for an African American president (Lilienfeld). Also, another study conducted by Ong et al. identified that over a two week time period 78% of the Asian Americans participants experienced a microaggression” (qtd. in Williams 6). Such studies and poll results imply explicitly show the presence of microaggression as a social issue in modern-day America. Moreover, such undisclosed demonstration of intolerance against minorities and the expression of dominance over them lead to adverse psychological outcomes. According to Lilienfeld, the majority of those researching the problem state that microaggression provokes anxiety, high levels of stress, and isolation. It negatively affects the emotional environment in the workplace and is potential to decrease performance efficiency. In some cases, it might as well lead to the victim’s suicide. Constant experiencing the hidden discrimination on the basis of prejudiced opinions might cause difficulties in workplaces, educational institutions or communities. That is why a lot of institutions develop a series of interventions and programs targeting the awareness of microaggression in the group of people. The interventions such as seminars, workshops, and training c
