Discrimination Issue Faced Nowadays Discussion

We can now begin our discussion on what we covered this first week. Chapter 1 begins with diversity, what is meant by diversity and its impact on the demographics of America?

I will give you a series of questions to “think” about. You can answer all of them in general terms, or you can select a specific question(s). The questions relate to the chapter.

How has/will diversity affect our traditional American society? As women become more inclusive in society, how will they affect change? What do Wagley, Harris, Marx, Weber, and Lenski, Collins have to say about the change in society for classes and minorities? As you move along in class, we will discuss the current social and racial situations in the U.S. today. It seems that we are divided into numerous “camps”, how has this affected the move toward diversity? Is there racial conflict today? How do we resolve this conflict? In the past, I would discuss race relations in America, and students would say, “Mr. Martinez, we don’t have problems with race, we get along pretty well”. Are we?

As you review the questions above, you many select ones to discuss or all in a general way.
