Reflections 5: Race and Ethnicity Due 4/28

Reflections 5: Race and Ethnicity Due 4/28

FINAL EXAM WILL BE THE REFLECTION 5 on RACE AND ETHNICITY – come prepared with your discussion on race, racism, prejudice, discrimination and stereotypes as they pertain to or affect various segments of racial and ethnic minorities. Week 7 and 8 online folder content work on at your own pace to respond to the 2nd survey on Social Inequality. 

The reflection paper 5 (REFLECTION 5 on RACE AND ETHNICITY – on race, racism, prejudice, discrimination and stereotypes as they pertain to or affect various segments of racial and ethnic minorities ) will be used as your final class paper so take your time to work on it. It will be due on the last day of class. Next week, we will only discuss and share responses to the discussion questions. After you write your paper, you will present it in class for the final exam. I will group together students who wrote similar topics to lead discussions and present their PPT presentation. 

You can select the following themes as your main discussion for part 1: Racial Discrimination, Crime and Punishment, Deviance and Social Control. Provide examples of how they affect people of racial and ethnic minorities. Part 2: Select one of the Sociological Perspectives and discuss how that perspective views the response to your discussion in part 1. Minimum pages 5 (of course you can write longer). You will need BOTH in text reference and separate reference page. I have posted sample papers in the week 5 reflection folder at the bottom).

You will write a 5 page paper as described above. You will post the final paper in the Assignment folder on BB under Final Exam Paper (race and ethnicity). You then will present your paper as a discussion in class via a PPT presentation.

Use the info below as reference / guidelines and make sure you conduct your own external research to write the paper.
