Professor’s comment on the introduction

For this course, you need to propose an idea for correlational, quasi-experimental or experimental research. You say one of the objectives is to identify measures that reduce the effects of prejudice and discrimination. That's a good topic for this course if you were to design a study using an intervention that is supposed to reduce prejudice and then seeing if it does reduce prejudice. But I'm not seeing that in this research proposal. Your research hypotheses are more global ideas and not thing you can specifically test in a group of participants that you would propose to recruit. You should take one of these hypotheses and focus on that, designing a study to address the hypothesis. For example, for the third hypothesis you could propose to recruit participants and use a questionnaire to determine how much they feel prejudice and discrimination and then compare those who report higher levels of discrimination to those who report lower levels on their self-esteem scores. This assignment should have been more focused on a study that you would do with participants.
