SOCI306 Race and Ethnicity
Week 2 Forum
Ideologies & Privilege
Explore the development of identity as discussed in one or more of our course materials this week. Discuss how aspects of identity may work to keep some groups in power, giving an example from:
1. The news, an observation, or other real life experience
and
2. A peer-reviewed journal article.
Finally, explain how the information you explored this week contributed to your own personal understanding of oppression.
Instructions for all Forums:
Each week, learners will post one initial post per week. This post must demonstrate comprehension of the course materials, the ability to apply that knowledge in the real world. Learners will engage with the instructor and peers throughout the learning week. To motivate engaged discussion, posts are expected to be on time with regular interaction throughout the week. All posts should demonstrate college level writing skills. To promote vibrant discussion as we would in a face to face classroom, formatted citations and references are not required. Quotes should not be used at all, or used sparingly. If you quote a source quotation marks should be used and an APA formatted citation and reference provided.
