Self disclosure is a politically correct exercise used in educational institutions, including schools at the post-secondary level. The justification no doubt rests on claims that it builds self-confidence in students, making them feel easier about talking about themselves. However, I have never seen this technique used when it was not intended to either bring down or humiliate a student, or else put someone in danger.
The format of the activity usually takes place as follows: A student is chosen in advance to go first. This particular person is usually at low risk when it comes to disclosing personal information. This student discloses a lot of information at a high level, at least on the surface, setting a precedent. The student is praised effusively by the teacher/instructor for being "brave". The rest of the students are expected to follow suit.
North America has a lot of refugees, and lives may be at stake through this activity. Is it ever really appropriate?

Do you think these exercises are being used as a means of extracting information that is not permissible by law to be asked for?
Just because it was used in the Broadway musical 'A Chorus Line' does not mean that it is appropriate.

Has no place, nor any good in the curriculum.

I think the motive is not to humiliate but to teach people to trust. Unfortunately, it does not work in a classroom setting. Personal disclosure needs to be done b/t people who are vested in a mutual relationship.

My psychiatrist has additionally shared minimum info - that he's married, that he has 2 toddlers (from pictures in his place of work) & that certainly one of his son's has autism - lower back in the context of the appointment by fact I also have a non-sound asleep son & he went by a era the place his austic son replaced into waking at 4am on a daily basis as my son does). they're suited ranges of disclosure that don't circulate any limitations as far as i'm in contact & help me sense fairly extra human that i'm no longer the only one that stresses approximately those issues. it relatively isn't any longer unavoidably on the subject of the coaching they have gained - it relatively is extra approximately no be counted if what they're disclosing is suited & in context with the communicate (ie no longer turning all of it around to be approximately them or to minimise any subject concerns which you have) then there is not any difficulty with it. maximum appointments no longer something is declared approximately their lives in any appreciate & it relatively has no result on the usefulness of the treatment I acquire from the two of them.

I don't think it is appropriate. I provided selective information.
