CHAP 9 DQ
This week, we are examining race as socially constructed. This assignment asks you to do a few things:
1. watch video clicking ‘launch’ and then ‘Continue as Guest’ at pbslearningmedia.org/resource/ilpov18-soc-il-ilbias/who-me-biased-understanding-implicit-bias/
2. Next, watch this documentary, “A Class Divided” about Jane Elliot’s experiment, which can be found here: https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/film/class-divided/ (copy and paste the link if it is not working). Take notes.
3. DISCUSS WHAT YOU NOTICE OR WONDER about this exercise and video.
Perhaps, consider the following in your discussion:
What is the definition of race, according to our textbook?
What does it mean when sociologists say that race is socially constructed?
Using examples from either/both from the activity and video above, consider how ideas about race may be reinforced in our society.
Post about 250 words in your first response by Thursday. Come back and post at least three responses to other students posts by Sunday.
