Your Presentation must do the following: 

1)  Describe and illustrate a historical example occurring in the U.S.  between colonial times to WWII that demonstrates the development of  dominant-minority relations for TWO different  disadvantaged groups (groups may include those based on race, gender,  ethnicity, class, country of origin, religion, or another status  relevant to stratification). You must integrate the course materials.

2) Analyze  ways in which the two disadvantaged groups you chose to cope with  discrimination and prejudice today. For example, have they created  anti-defamation leagues, lobbied for changes in laws, created a social  movement, or taken other measures toward non-discrimination and  equality? Please be specific.  (You will need to research this  information outside of the course materials; include at least 2  peer-reviewed journal articles that are five years old or less).

3) Define and analyze two concepts (for example racism, sexism, stratification, patriarchy, etc.) from our course materials,  explaining how these concepts help us better understand the two groups  you are discussing. You may find our Sociological Theories and Concepts  Toolkit to be helpful (found in Announcements).

4) Define  and analyze two sociological theories (for example, feminist theory,  critical race theory, conflict theory, symbolic interactionism,  functionalist theory, etc.) from our course materials or outside scholarly sources,  explaining how these theories help us better understand the two groups  you are discussing. You may find our Sociological Theories and Concepts  Toolkit to be helpful (found in Announcements).

The information presented should be in the form of short statements or bullet points. Do not include complete paragraphs. Most  of the information presented should be in your own words/voice. Quotes  are not graded. Your presentation should utilize sound critical thought  and it should include appropriate APA in-text citations and full APA  references at the end.
