Task 6 – Challenges to Diversity
For your assignment this week, you will write a 2-3 page (double-spaced) paper supported with evidence from your own experiences, as well as the sources from lesson 6 attached. Follow the below pre-writing steps before writing your essay.
You need to cite 1-2 sources from Lesson 6 in APA format for this assignment. You DO NOT need additional sources.
After working through the materials in Lesson 6, review your notes and consider how the concepts from those sources might help provide context for your own experiences and/or observations of discrimination.
Explore this site, More Than Meets the Eye. The site archives experiences of racism around the world. Read a few of the essays and use them as examples for your own essay below. No need to cite these, but if you do be sure to do so properly in APA format.
Write a 2-3 page (double-spaced) essay on your experience of discrimination. Choose a specific incident or incidents when you felt discriminated against, either because of racial prejudice or because of prejudice based on another characteristic (religion, national origin, gender, sexuality, socioeconomic situation). Alternatively, choose an incident or incidents when you observed discrimination against another person and/or group. Draw from the resources provided in Lesson 6 to support your claims. Structure your paper using the below guideline:
INTRODUCTION (1 paragraph):
Include a thesis statement where you explain the overall point you are making about how you have experienced or observed discrimination and what that tells us about challenges to diversity.
BODY (3 paragraphs):
Include a paragraph describing the incident or incidents in detail, a paragraph discussing your response and the incident’s effect on you, and a paragraph where you use 1-2 sources from Lesson 6 to provide context for the incident and explain what it tells us about challenges to diversity. Place the paragraphs in an order that makes logical sense.
CONCLUSION (1 paragraph):
Restate your thesis. Explain why discussing discrimination and/or racism helps us better understand diversity and how to function in a diverse world.
Edit your paper for clarity, concision, and formatting before submitting it below.
