**************************************************************

Constructing Race. Review the PBS website RACE – The Power of
an Illusion as you prepare for this discussion.
This site offers many examples of how the science of human
difference contradicts ordinary ideas of race.
As we see in the readings and in this website, race is socially
constructed, a system of thought and human behavior not directly
based on nature, instead resulting from social ideas and practices. In
other words, race exists because people believe it is real and
important.
Please respond to the following:
a. How has race been constructed in the United States?
b. Provide a specific example of how race continues to be socially
constructed.
c. What groups are harmed, and benefit, from these constructions of
race?
**************************************************************
SOC 308 Week 1 DQ 2 Implications of Anglo
Dominance in the United States

mplications of Anglo Dominance in the United States. Please respond
to the following:
Since the European settlement of North America, white, Anglo
Americans have dominated the political landscape.
Define, in your own words, Anglo dominance and describe how
Anglos built and have maintained said dominant system. Assess
whether or not Anglos will continue to dominate the political
landscape in the United States and what changes are necessary to
establish a more equitable sharing of power.

SOC 308 Week 2 DQ 1 Legacy of Slavery

Legacy of Slavery. Listen to or read Dr. King’s speech, I Have a
Dream. Then, respond to the following:
Dr. King’s famous speech envisions a future in which the racial
distinction established by slavery and segregation is no more.
Evaluate the ways in which the legacy of slavery has prevented the
United States from building a more just society, supporting your
evaluation with the textbook and additional sources.
Define what Dr. King’s refrain, “free at last,” looks like to you and
how our society will need to change in order to achieve it
**************************************************************
SOC 308 Week 2 DQ 2 Hispanic Culture
Hispanic Culture. Please review the following sources in preparation
for this discussion.
a. The Border

b. Hispanic Americans: Exhibitions and Presentations
c. History of US-Mexico Relations
Based on your review of at least one of the above sources, define and
discuss the historic incident or aspect of culture that you find most
interesting or have observed in your community and, using examples,
demonstrate why it is relevant to the impact of Hispanic culture in the
United States.
**************************************************************
SOC 308 Week 2 Ethnic Group Evaluation
Ethnic Group Evaluation. Please review Chapters 5 through 9 of Race
and Ethnicity as you prepare for this assignment.
By the mid-twentieth century, European immigrant groups described
in Week One had combined to form a white racial majority in the
United States. Today, Blacks, Native Americans, Asians, Hispanics,
and non-white Europeans interact with the white majority in a system
of race that can be broadly described as comprising whites and non-
whites, whites and racial minorities, or whites and people of color.
While unique ethnic groups share a culture in which ethnic conflict is
present, including pressures to assimilate, the broader culture also
celebrates the unique culture of many ethnic groups in America.
Write a paper in which you evaluate a selected major ethnic group in
the United States. Please elaborate on the following points in your
essay:

a. Select an ethnic group from among those discussed in Chapters 5
through 9.
b. Examine the history of this group in the United States, including
immigration, assimilation, conflict with other ethnic groups, and other
issues of interest.
c. Provide an example of a widely held myth or misconception about
this ethnic group. How do we know this is a myth? Why is this myth
so difficult to abandon?

U.S. Language

English as the Official U.S. Language. Please visit Poll: Should
English Be the United States’ Official Language?
as you prepare for this discussion and participate in the poll.
After reading the argument for making English the official language
of the United States and participating in the poll, assess the merit of
this argument in context with the results of the poll. Why is this
argument valid / invalid and how would establishing an official
language affect the status quo?
**************************************************************
SOC 308 Week 3 DQ 2 Hate Crime
Hate Crime. Please visit Hate Crime Statistics, 2009 as you prepare
for this discussion. Click through the Hate Crimes website, following
your curiosity.
Based on the information you gleaned from the FBI website above,
discuss a statistic, study, or other fact that surprised you or has
affected your

community and what the numbers say about offenses against this
specific protected class. What do these crimes say about our society
and what steps need to be
taken to prevent them?

SOC 308 Week 5 DQ 1 Northern Ireland
Northern Ireland. English involvement in Ireland dates back to 1171,
when English King, Henry II invaded the island to expand his empire.
Since then, politics in the region has been characterized by varying
degrees of tension between Irish independence and British rule.
This tension has often flared into violent conflict. As in other global
situations, what might be more accurately described as a political and
economic conflict has become an ethnic conflict, with opposing
groups unified around cultural and religious identities.
Please respond to the following:
a. In your informed opinion, what events led to the peace agreements
immediately preceding the current state of harmony?
b. Given the long history of conflict, is it likely that disputes between
England and Ireland have been permanently resolved?
c. What can be done to decrease the chance of further conflict?
d. What does this example tell us about the social construction of
ethnic identities?
Your initial post for each discussion should be a minimum of 250
words. Use scholarly sources to support your responses. Include
citations and references in APA style. Review the posts of your peers,
focusing on solutions. Respond to a minimum of two other comments
posted by your classmates. Be sure to review the discussion board
grading rubric located in the classroom.
