Write an essay comparing and contrasting the experiences or activities of 3 different races and ethnicity in the United States (but NOT Native Americans and African Americans).
Because you are not using the textbooks for this paper, you will need to find other sources of information. These will need to be scholarly sources, such as from Astor.org.
As usual, you will want to find some kind of theme that ties the material together. For example:
– The impact of religion on the experience of the different groups.
– The similarities or differences in experiences of different groups at different times in US history.
– Strategies used by the different groups for gaining political power.
– Stereotypes of the different groups in the media.
– Ways the different groups have impacted US culture.
– Challenges faced by the different groups today.
– Responses to the different groups from the mainstream WASP culture.
– You get the picture I hope, but please feel free to ask me any questions you have about your topics.
A few more details:
– Write at least 1000 words – that’s a minimum, not a maximum.
– Cite your sources using a formal citation style.
– Make sure to have a very good thesis, building upon it as your paper escalates.
