Ahhh... the last blog of the quarter. This is simply an opportunity for you to ask and answer each other's questions and discuss anything that you think will be helpful in preparation for the final. I would suggest looking at your class notes, handouts from class, and your reading assignments, along with your review sheet. This is primarily an open forum for you so check back often during the week and comment/question/ponder/review as much as you would like. You should ask and answer each others questions and you can earn one blog credit for a substantive contribution to the review (Maximum of one blog credit but you can comment as much as you would like, no length requirement to get credit).
One request: please take just a couple of minutes to complete your course evaluation if you have not done so already. I would really appreciate it. Just follow this link to go to Campus Connect.
Good luck with all of your studying!

ReplyDeleteHey guys, Brittany had the idea to make a google doc that we can add our notes to and help each other prepare for the final. I set up the doc and you can access it with this link:

Also, I'm sending out an email with the link as well. Good luck!
Does anyone know anything about the Immigration Act of 1924 (Reed-Johnson Act)?
ReplyDeleteI think I remember seeing it in class about how it limited how many immigrants could come into the U.S. through a quota. So it allowed 2% of the total amount of people from the 1890 census in the U.S. and didn’t allow any immigrants from Asia to enter
DeleteYeah, also it was the more restrictive successor of the 1921 Emergency Quota Act, which was the same concept except 3% of the respective populations from the 1910 Census.
DeleteThanks, guys!
DeleteSo I don't have a ton of notes for 3a or 3e, if anyone can help, that'd be great!
ReplyDeleteFor 3a, I just defined Social Stratification, which is the system by which society ranks categories of people into a hierarchy.
DeleteFor 3e, think back to the first "Blog" that we did. How does your background/upbringing (and others) influence the way you view race and ethnicity? My experience with race and ethnicity as a white, Jewish woman is far different than the experiences of a black, Muslim man.
Also, does anyone know 6 d and e??
ReplyDelete6e. In a political stand point 50% Asian americans affiliate themselves Democrat or Lean Democrat and 28% Republican or Lean Republican. (sorry i couldn't find much on economic, but i know he gave us a handout about that)
DeleteI relate 6d back to the reading "Yellow" by Frank Wu, where he talks about how Asian Americans (and really any other racial minority) falls through the cracks when people talk about race relations. A lot of times, people literally view race relations as "black & white" and discount people who are "yellow". Asian Americans specifically do not identify as either and even though they are not white, they are still considered by other minorities to be the "token minority" and thus discriminated against by them, but still not accepted by white people, either. Wu specifically talks about how "white" means American and black means "minority", however Asian Americans fall into neither of those categories... sorry haha I got a little winded, but I did one of my reading reflections on this reading! I hope that helped.
DeleteThanks for your help guys!!
DeleteI think I was absent the class that some of the Native American Politics information was discussed. Does anyone have any information from class on how Native Americans are similar and/or different from other marginalized racial and/or ethnic groups? (4.2 on google doc). Thanks a ton.
ReplyDeleteIn general, the development of political and civil rights issues have moved in the opposite direction for Native Americans, while they have trended in the right direction for other minorities. Native Americans have had their rights taken away via education policies, redefined land use policies, and violation of legal treaties. Consider the Dakota pipeline...Native Americans are still fighting with the government over LAND usage, which is drastically different from the important political issues of other minorities.
DeleteDoes anyone know the definition of socialization? Its 1D.
ReplyDeleteThe process of social interaction in which one learns the ways of the society and one’s specific roles- the set of rules and expectations attached to a social position (or status) in that society.
DeleteCan anyone scan their 4 steps sheet? I wrote all over mine so I need a new one
ReplyDeleteI can! I'll email it to you.
DeleteDoes anyone remember any readings about racial gap in high school graduation rates and unemployment? I'm trying to find a few more sources for my essay and I can't remember if I read this material in this class, whether in a blog post or prezi, etc.
ReplyDeleteI was reading an article about that last night :Pettit Becky and Western Bruce, “Beyond Crime and Punishment: Prisons and inequality”, The Social Construction of Difference and Inequality.
DeleteThis reading talks about how many african american males drop out of high school and were at high rate of going to jail than getting employed.
Awesome, thanks!
DeleteI think it's referring to the 1st amendment (freedom of speech, religion, press, etc.) and Thomas Jefferson's stance on the role of religion (remember that piece of writing we read by him?) Here is the link to the prezi that covered this:
