Briefly describe your own history (family structure, birth place, income level, names of siblings, children, parents, grandparents, great-grandparents etc.).

Reflection Paper:

All students are required to write a 3-5 page (double spaced, typed, 12 inch font) paper.  Grammar does count!  Please provide a response to the following questions:

  • Briefly describe your own history (family structure, birth place, income level, names of siblings, children, parents, grandparents, great-grandparents etc.). What traditions and stories have been passed down from generation to generation? If your family heritage is unknown please reflect on how this has impacted your life.
  • When did you first become aware of the concept of race? How did it impact your world view (please provide an example)
  • Describe the impact of racism (or living in a race conscious society) upon you and/or your family’s experiences in the U.S.
  • Do you feel that the effects of slavery still impact the African American Experience in the U.S.? Explore 2-3 examples of how OR how not.
  • What solutions can you offer improve race relations in society today?

 

I will upload my personal info in the docs and you can elaborate it to answer these questions.
