Explain a theory/concept(s) related to race/ethnicity
Introduction
As cultural productions that “mimic” life, films are a unique way to “view” society. In this learning activity, you will present a racial/ethnic theory/concept and use a film as an example of that theory/concept.
Learning Outcomes
· Explain a theory/concept(s) related to race/ethnicity
· Apply examples from a film, which is a cultural production, to exemplify the theory/concept(s)
· Utilize scholarly sources to articulate and support your ideas
· Hone written communication skills
Details
Select a film that relates to theories/concepts we have been focusing upon in this course. Any film can be rendered applicable, so the choice of film is completely up to you.
In a 4-6+ page paper present a theory/concept(s) related to race/ethnicity that we have studied and apply that theory/concept(s) to examples from the film you chose to exemplify the theory/concept(s). Be sure to include scholarly sources to provide context and to support your assertions.
Include citations for all direct quotes and references to texts and all other sources used. MLA, APA, ASA, or any other format you are familiar with is sufficient.
Scholarly Sources: All scholars refer to one another’s writings to support our own ideas. Scholarly sources include books, journal articles (use the library to find lots of great journal articles; JSTOR is very useful), and government documents (Census, Bureau of Labor Statistics, etc). Newspaper articles, Wikipedia, websites, online blogs, etc. are not scholarly sources (they can be used for additional information or context).
Enjoy writing this paper! Part of the fun of academics is having the freedom to apply the ideas of scholars across contexts in new and interesting ways.
Assessment:
Use the rubric included with the assignment to determine how this paper will be assessed.
If you were on the Supreme Court, how would you have ruled, and why?
Civil Liberties
Civil liberties, which is about your rights as an individual. Civil rights concerns protecting people from discrimination because of their inclusion in some sort of group or class – race, religion, etc.
Sometimes, at least today, civil rights seems like a pretty simple concept. It’s illegal (and wrong) to deny somebody a job simply because they’re black, or refuse to rent someone an apartment because they’re Jewish. Sometimes, though, it gets more complicated.
Gerald Bostock is a gay man who worked as a child welfare services coordinator for Clayton County, Georgia. The facts are a little more complex than this, but he was basically fired from his job for being gay.
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits employment discrimination because of an “individual’s race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.” The question before the court: Does “sex” in this context include sexual orientation? Or does it just mean you can’t favor a man over a woman or vice versa?
For this assignment, read a case called Bostock v. Clayton County . Note that Justice Neil Gorsuch, generally considered one of the court’s most conservative members, authored the opinion for the 6-3 majority of the Court in favor of Mr. Bostock.
Write our usual 2 – 5 page essay about it. Make sure you essay tells your reader: ● The basic facts of the case. ● What the majority decided, and why. ● Justices Alito and Thomas authored a dissenting opinion. Why did they disagree with
their colleagues? Why did Justice Kavanaugh write a separate dissenting opinion? ● If you were on the Supreme Court, how would you have ruled, and why? ● The Supreme Court, in my opinion, will soon face more complex cases involving the
application of protections on the basis of “sex” to transgender and non-binary individuals as our society grapples with a more complex understanding of gender. Do you have any guidance for the courts or Congress as these issues evolve?
