More details on the assignment are up on blackboard: explaining individual racism: Parents, teachers, important community leaders can be a strong influence on a person and their beliefs: in some places & in some time periods, it"s considered normal to express racism overtly (or covertly). The norms in one place about these issues can be different in another area. We"re in the period now where it"s acceptable to say these things explicitly (i. e. if our president can say these things and believe these things, it must not be wrong). 02. 14. 18: olzak"s theory of racial & ethnic inequality & conflict: Compete for jobs, housing, neighborhood services (healthcare, schooling), etc: competition can be for anything considered significant at that time period. 02. 14. 18: a: integration is a hard term to define.
