You likely are aware of a social inequality that can be addressed and discussed in an informative and respectful way. In this week’s assignment, you have the opportunity to educate and address members of your community about a specific social inequality or to call out and confront inaccuracies and misinformation about social inequalities.

 

Select one of the two options below to complete the Week 4 assignment:

 

Option 1

Scenario: You want to convince members of your community of a particular social inequality in the U.S. so they will participate in a campaign to bring awareness and promote action to fight that inequality in their community.

 

Identify a social inequality that exists in the United States today to address in this assignment (inequalities in economics and work, law and justice, or health and illness are discussed in the textbook).
