Sociology of Race and Ethnic Relations

This is the writing assignment that you are expected to do for this learning unit. You will write a 300 words (or MORE, 500-600 words are recommended) message addressing these questions:

Why for sociologists (and anthropologists) race is a "social" and NOT a biological concept? Regarding the idea of race, what did you learn after exploring the web site "Race: the Power of illusion"? What did you learn from the movie "The Divide" and from the ideas presented by Eric Liu (in that movie) and by the video clip "Is Race Real"?
