Final Project Projection
Transcript: WHY I CHOOSE THIS TOPIC OPTION 1- Total divide and civil unrest OPTION 2-Tolerant but remains somewhat the same OPTION 3-There is hope but through forgiveness Columbus and the Spanish Conquistadors Broken Treaties and Restitution Genocide vs. Tragedy Land Theft Question? Community and Initiative Slavery and The Theft of Labor SOURCES Observing people walking down the street: Majority grouped with the same race Social Norms and Pressures QUESTIONS TO PONDER -Native Indians and conquering land -Slavery and its relationship to modern day segregation and inequality -Propaganda (as used by Hitler) What has America defined as being American? (the foreigner effect) Exploration of my own thoughts and Observations The lunchroom dilemma -Separation by race despite friendships -Different movies, music, hair, clothes, language, TV programs etc. - Interracial Marriages and friendships (one's deemed better than the other) and why? -Have we been shaped by social norms to divide ourselves? How do we look at race with the knowledge of other countries committing the same atrocities and segregation such as America but the lines drawn for segregation are not skin color but class? (Example-India's caste system) The Formation of America Can segregation today in some facets be attributed to a victims mentality? SOCIAL NORMS AND PRESSURES Can we separate the human need for conquest with the idea of racial segregation and tension? Is our segregation an effect (not solely) of social norms and acceptance? Do we separate by race because it is more visible and easy to make collective groups? and if so what does this mean for crossing cultural and racial boundries? Final Project Workshop -Interactions based on Social Expectations -Public vs private -Interracial marriage still carries stigma -Racial Categorization (acting white or black) -Social Identity Development Theory -The process of dividing the world into "them" and "us" -Recognizing and valuing their racial group membership -Social Norm Adherence -Norms dictate that talk of race is taboo Looking back through history and current social trends related to communities and their formation, is there an intrinsic pull towards creating communities only in what is familiar or is there hope for integration across racial and cultural lines to form truly diverse communities? Personal Observations and Experience Allen, Reniqua. "Our 21st segregation:Were still divided by race." The Guardian. April 3, 2015 http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2013/apr/03/21st-century-segregation-divided-race "Race:The power of an Illusion. PBS. 2003. California Newsreel.

Methodology Forgiveness? How do we look at the full picture of History and what that means for how communities are and were formed and shaped? Why is it that we seem to pull back into our own familiar races? How does the role of the ability for evil play a part in reconciliation across racial and cultural lines? The Idea of being or "acting" white or black as a negative attribute to the opposite race HISTORY
