Problem
You should have a better understanding of how race is culturally constructed and thus how notions of race can vary from culture to culture. You should also have a new understanding of the difference between individual racism and institutional racism. Both forms of racism have had a profound influence on the development of modern American culture, but individual racism often receives more attention in the media. Research the examples of racial violence described in your textbook, including the deaths of Eric Garner, Tamir Rice, and Alton Sterling, and consider how institutional racism may have played a role in the deaths of these men.
Consider the incidents surrounding how each of these men died, and discuss what role institutional racism may have played in their deaths. Include a discussion of a more recent example from the news if desired. This is a sensitive topic, so be sure to choose your words carefully!
