Abstract

Although the existing literature assures us that a blurred line between macro ang microaggressions exists, one point is made very clear, microaggressions are real and empirical studies have consistently shown the adverse psychological effects toward the target individuals that are far reaching and can have long-lasting, negative often devastating effects. But how do the experts define microaggressions and its many components, what are some methods and approaches used to perpetrate this slight, why is there such ambiguity and what can be done to combat this action?
