Purpose
For this paper, you’re asked to describe a situation or case that
involves prejudice and then

3. analyze it using the terms and theories we learned in class. The
purpose of this paper is that you
apply something you’ve learned in class to a situation/case of your
choosing that involves
prejudice. Show me that you understand some of the concepts
we’ve discussed in class by
applying it.
Topics to discuss/analyze
You can choose any situation or example you like, the only
constraint is that it depicts prejudice:
It could be a particular scene from the movie “Crash” that depicts a
police officer racially
profiling a Black driver or it could be a news story you read about
in the newspaper where a
neighbourhood is up-in-arms over a Muslim community’s plans for
a Mosque. You can be
creative and original in what topic you choose, as long as it
contains some interaction involving
prejudice. Some other examples might be the uproar about the rise
in White Nationalism in the
US, discussions of carding (i.e., racial profiling) of Black men by
the Toronto police, or Don
Cherry’s latest rant on Coach’s Corner.
Format and Writing
Once you’ve chosen your situation/case, you’ll need to describe it
in some detail so that someone
who is unfamiliar with it could understand it, and then analyze it
with the terms and theories we
discussed in class. The theories you want to use in your analysis
are completely up to you and
could include things like: the phenomenon of subtyping,
personality differences in prejudice,
implicit prejudice, the effects of stigmatization on self-esteem,
stereotype threat, etc.
