Compare how the ideologies of assimilation, cultural pluralism and
conflict theory have influenced the experiences of ethnic and
culturally diverse populations.
Pluralism is the retention of ethnic cultures and boundaries within the larger society (Scott, p. 266). Multiculturalism refers to the equal coexistence of various cultural forms of life within one community, and pluralism refers to the practice of independent cultural tra-ditions in non-white communities (Scott, p. 288). Conflict theorize that it is an imbalance of power, internalized racism is the product of power struggles between racial groups, assimilation is not a solution and fight for ideological change (Scott). Ideology of Assimilation would tend to affect minorities because the outcome of attitudes would be negative. Jonathan Sneller

2.
Capture the development of a subordinate group status relationship
and the consequences of minority group status.
The subordinate group is defined as the people in a society
who have little control of social, economic, and political power. In the United
States, minorities (non-whites) are historically a subordinate group.
Subordinate groups are developed and sustained by ideologies and systems of
oppression that are enforced by the dominant group. The minority group suffers
several consequences because of their status. Their status affects their
education, health, wealth, safety, where they reside, how they are treated in
the justice system, and other social issues including internalized oppression. 		Elizabeth Nolan

Evaluate the structural, economic and personality effects of
prejudice and discrimination and how these factors perpetuate social
inequalities among racial/minority groups.
Prejudice has three forms:  cognitive, affective, and conative.  Cognitive prejudice refers to false beliefs about a group based on faulty or insufficient information.  Affective prejudice refers to negative feelings about a group, such as fear, hatred, dislike, disgust, uneasiness, contempt or suspicion.  Conative prejudice refers to the tendency of the mind toward acting against members of another group. The economic effects of prejudice can include:  job availability, and wages; and also discrimination against workers, consumers, and minority-owned businesses.  Personality difference can also effect prejudice.  Social inequalities among racial/minority groups can gain social acceptance.  When you have an unequal status you are going to have prejudice when facing a negative stereotype, being prejudice to go along with the crowd and need to belong, etc.  Derek Dowling

Illustrate the concepts of institutional discrimination and its
impact on minority groups.
Institutional discrimination can have many different faces. Besides from the obvious discrimination of skin color, it can also be transferred to gender, economic status, education and such. How it unfortunately effects the minorities is when the same capable person no matter what skin color or gender they are, go to apply for a job but are turned away because of how they come off to the employer.  An example of this can be found on page 181 of our text book. A study was conducted where fake resumes were sent off to jobs that advertised job listings in a local newspaper.  Some of the resumes had "white" sounding names and others had "black" sounding names. The result of this was that there was 50% more call backs to the white names than there was to the black. We didn't even see what was on the resumes as far as their credentials, but the point still is that minorities don't have a chance even at the front of the starting gates to create a better future for themselves.Jenny Barton

Explain the concept of religious pluralism.
I am sick, but here is a simple form. A society that has many (at least 2) demoninations, that co-exist without one being persecuted.Cori Lopez

7.
Identify cultural elements that are unique to racial/ethnic minority
groups.
Cultural element refers to things that make up a culture and they can be visible or non visible attributes of culture. Minority groups are groups with less power who are targeted for oppression by the dominant group that wields power and social control. Culture is a central concept which deals with ethnic and diversity and consits of unique behaviors, belief systems, legends, etc.Johnathan Sneller

Asians have a long history in the United States: May 7, 1843 marked the arrival of the first Japanese immigrants, and May 10, 1869 marked the completion of the transcontinental railroad, which many Chinese workers contributed to the construction of. Some Asian American families have been in the United States for many generations; others are recent immigrants from places such as the islands of the Philippines, Vietnam, or India. 2) BLACKS according to US Census Bureau, are people having origins in any of the Black racial groups of Africa. The Black or African American population includes people who marked their race(s) as “Black, African Am., or Negro” or reported entries such as African American; Sub-Saharan African (e.g., Kenyan and Nigerian); or Afro-Caribbean such as Haitian and Jamaican African Americans have a long history in the United States. Some African American families have been in the United States for many generations; others are recent immigrants from places such as Africa, the Caribbean, or the West Indies. 3) HISPANICS defined by The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) as “a person of Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, South or Central American, or other Spanish culture or origin, regardless of race.” In data collection and presentation, federal agencies are required to use a minimum of two ethnicities: “Hispanic or Latino” and "Not Hispanic or Latino". 4) PACIFIC ISLANDERS, according to The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) defines "Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islanders" as people having origins in any of the original peoples of Hawaii, Guam, Samoa, or other Pacific Islands.
