The essay is composed of 1-2 pages per prompt and I am required to do 5 of the prompts. For each prompt I need to have at least 2 citations out of the textbook. The textbook is called “The African-America Odyssey 7th Edition” The questions will come from chapters 14-18 of the textbook. For the tone in the essay, I need it to be formal but not too formal as this is a general education course. I will copy and paste the actual assignemnt prompt with the questions.
Answer each question succinctly by utilizing your analytic, interpretive, and critical thinking skills. Connect your answers to broader history, ideologies, power relationships, and terms/concepts/theories. Incorporate class discussion (i.e. lecture videos) and readings into your well-developed answer. Carefully read each question and answer all parts for full credit. Incorporate specific detailed examples from the textbook and lecture to reinforce the arguments outlined in your short answer essay responses.
1. How does systemic racism fully function in our society today? (Chapter 14)
