Sociology Research and Review

Greetings sociologistists!

By the end todays class, you will email me, alexander.hoselton@mpls.k12.mn.us with at least FOUR sources with notes in a word document for your in class essay tomorrow.
Your time in the computer lab is meant to apply the concepts we learned about race over the last couple of weeks. Today you will look for supporting research materials such as newspaper articles, blogs, and news videos that help answer the Key Question, "What are the consequences of contemporary perceptions of race?" Use the topics we have studied below to help guide your research.

Take notes in a word document. Feel free to copy and past sections of text into your notes. You will have the opportunity to use the notes from your "White Whine" article and notes from today's research to write your in class essay that answers the Key Question.

1. Stereotypes
2. White Privilege "White Whine"
3. Discrimination
4. Race and Space
5. Definition of Race
6. Genes
7. Progress
8. Race in the 20th Century "Inequalitites Disadvantage Minorities"
