Discuss the issues of justice, discrimination, civil rights, feminism, etc.
I want you to interview 3 people, preferably of various ages and ethnic groups. Pose the same questions to them regarding the pre-mentioned topics.
Some possible questions may be: Do you believe racial equality exists in our country?
Have you recently been discriminated against?
How would you feel about your son/daughter dating our marrying someone from another racial group?
Do you think that the election of Barack Obama helped racial relations?
Do you think that affirmative action is racial discrimination?
Do you believe that women are treated equal to men in our society?
Do you think that gay men or women should be allowed to marry and be given full civil rights under the marriage law ?
Write a paper (4-5 pages, double-spaced) summarizingthe answers. Give details about the people interviewed, i.e., single, white male, 24 years old; married, black female, 40 years old, etc.
Do not use their real first names. After you've summarized the responses give your own comments and observations.Did you think any of the comments could be perceived as judgmental, prejudice or racist, why? Were the people reluctant to answer the question? etc. Okay ?
