You should think about how your chosen topic is impacting American society today. Be sure to chose sources that are from highly respected academic sources/news organizations that are vetted for accuracy and objectivity (i.e. do not link to opinion pieces, internet blogs, Wikipedia entries, etc).
Choose one (1) of the prompts below for your initial
Prompt Option 1: There are countless cases of discriminatory practices within organizations and society as a whole that privilege individuals on the basis of race or gender. How have these practices developed over time? What organizational/societal changes might be made in order to emphasize the need for diversity and fairness? Can laws/business policies bring about lasting change? Be sure to reference at least 2 of the Week 3 assigned readings in your response. Also, please include a relevant current event link, image, or chart with your initial post.
Prompt Option 2: This week we examined the concept of 'Microagressions,' which can occur on the basis of race/ethnicity, class, gender, sexuality, nationality, and so on. At first blush, microaggressions might be seen as instances of one individual saying something to another that is offensive, to a greater or lessor extent. So in that sense, what separates microagressions from the typical social faux pas in which someone says something we'd consider to be in bad taste? In your response explore what might make microagressions seem something more than just individual infractions. Be sure to reference at least 2 of the Week 3 assigned readings in your response. Also, please include a relevant current event link, image, or chart with your initial post.
