social jusctice

For this week's discussion, I would like you to write, in at least 300 words, a formative analysis of the lessons from this week to create a cohesive understanding of what institutional racism is (i.e., structural or systemic racism). 

As you think/write your summary, ask yourself: How and why was race created and structured into society, specifically in the United States? How does racism affect people's lives today?  How do the various institutions of society maintain a racialized class system, nationally and even globally?

Material Artifact (6 pts):  After you have formulated an understanding about what institutional racism is, make sure to end your post with a material artifact that expresses concrete ways that racial and ethnic inequalities are being addressed in the United States (nationally), locally, or even globally. 

 Provide a formative analysis of the readings, lessons, learning videos, and/or films throughout the week—express what you learned throughout the week’s lessons, but also apply these understandings to the real world (very similar to the SS assignment listed above). In doing so, cite at least three resources from the weekly assignments (using a proper citation format of your choice—in-text and works cited section at the end of your post).  If you need help with citing resources, either reach out to me directly, or return to the week zero information I provided about how to do this.
