Instruction and Questions:
Essay Exam One: Answers should be around ½ single spaced pages, 8-10 full sentences. It is more important you are giving full comprehensive responses than counting the sentences. You have 3-4 weeks to prepare your responses. You can lose up to 5-points for each question based on inaccurate, unthoughtful, or incomplete answers. Be sure to respond to each part of each question for full consideration of points. 1. According to lecture and authors Bell (2018), Adams and Zúñiga (2018), define and discuss the basic tenets of social justice, both as a process and a goal. Discuss the importance of equity and dignity to social justice, and why is self-determination important, according to lecture? Lastly, how is social justice different than diversity according to Adams and Zúñiga (2018)? 2. According to class readings, discuss identity politics: describe the ways identity is complex according to Tatum (2018); how are identities classified by dominant and subordinate groups; how do these categories maintain structural inequality according to Kirk and Okazawa-Rey (2018)?; and how is this related to the ways we have socially constructed difference? 3. Describe what social constructionism is; identify the four factors of social constructions according to lecture and use the film The Story we Tell (2022) to describe each of those elements. In other words, define each element and then support it with examples of how race is a social construction from the film. 4. Discuss intersectionality according to lecture, reading and ted talk: what is it, where does it come from, why is it important for social movements? What is the history of intersectionality, according to Atewologun (2018)? And how can we put intersectionality into practice according to Kimbrelé Crenshaw TedTalk (2016)?
