Bowie State University The Scapegoat Hypothesis Discussion Questions

I’m working on a sociology question and need support to help me learn.

1) Watch the following video:

2. What is The Scapegoat Hypothesis? How does this video help to illustrate this concept? (3-4 sentences)

3. What are some of the beliefs of modern racists? Cite at least three. (3-4 sentences)

4. According to Chapter 3, is it possible to live a colorblind life? That is, a life in which you are void of any and all racist ideas? How might the concept of colorblindness also be problematic? (3-4 sentences)

5. What are stereotypes? Have you ever been stereotyped? In what way? How did this make you feel?
