1) After reading page 290-294 and the “American Anthropological Association Statement on Race” in Week 5 folder explain why there is no such thing as a “pure race” or how race is a “social construct.” Support your claims with examples from the readings. 2) Complete the “Sorting People” exercise and review facts about race at the PBS website. Did you the find the exercise challenging? If so, why? 3) In your opinion, what is the future of racism, will racism increase, decrease, or stay the same in the United States? stop-1001138_1280.jpg Requirements: Initial forum postings should be a minimum of 250 words. Each student must also respond to a minimum of 2 fellow students’ postings; each response must be at least 100 words in length. Responses to each question should draw on key concepts you have learned during the week’s reading. All written assignments must be in the student’s own words, and MUST include citations (in proper MLA format) giving the source credit for ANY paraphrases or direct quotes based on published authors’ work, and should be submitted error free. Your comments to your classmates need to be substantive. A substantive comment contributes a new idea or perspective, a good follow-up question to a point made, offers a response to a question, provides an example or illustration of a key point, points out an inconsistency in an argument, etc. Thus a message that simply says “I agree” is not substantive. Your post is due by 11:59pm EST Saturday. No exceptions. This post is required by all students participating in the course and has to be completed on time.
