What will be an ideal response?
Suggested Response: The "up / down" metaphor is used to describe the relationship of dominant and subordinate groups. The "ups" have the wealth, status and power and the "downs" do not. In the United States the "ups" belong to these groups: white, male, middle or upper class, Christian, heterosexual, or nondisabled.
The instances of how a person belongs to "up" and "down" groups will vary according to the student's individual group memberships.
