Discuss from a sociological perspective the difference between race and
ethnicity, along with the terms prejudice, racism and scapegoat.
In Chapter 12 of your textbook and the videos presented on Blackboard,
race and ethnicity are presented in detail. When looked at from a
sociological perspective, the concepts of race and ethnicity and the
consequences of these terms are far more complex than common usage
and everyday understanding.
In your discussion posting, first:
1) Discuss from a sociological perspective the difference between race and
ethnicity, along with the terms prejudice, racism and scapegoat. Explain
how your racial or ethnic identity has played a significant (positive or
negative) role in your life?
2) Racial and ethnic stereotypes are everywhere in the mass media (social
media, television ads, magazines etc). Surveying some of these mediums,
identify racial or ethnic stereotypes in the media. Who were the targets?
3) Post a response to another classmate's posting, discussing your thoughts
of their post in a respectful and thoughtful manner. What stood out to you
about their analysis? Which sociological or psychological theories best
explain the dissemination of these racial or ethnic representations in the
mass media?
