Below are the questions I chose from the family questions submitted before the deadline. Since no bonus points are involved, I am not going to designate which family submitted what. Of course, remember these questions will be on the final exam.
1. Before Tatum delivered her speech at a workplace, a man announced a meeting for an organization of people of color. After the speech a woman asked Tatum how she would feel if there was an announcement for a meeting of white people. What was Tatum's response to this question? (1)
Answer: She said it would be a "good idea."
2. I posted on the blog a passage from Frank Wu's book, Yellow, which compared affirmative action to what? (1)
Answer: a vaccine
3. What did I add to Dr. Better's definition of "social institution" which further underscores the significance of institutions in our lives? (2)
Answer: That institutions are also organized systems of objects through which human ends are achieved, which highlights the importance of objects/the material realm. I contended further that institutions are the real actors in modern society which we as individuals participate in.
4. What analogy does Better make in relation to institutional racism that is comparable to Tatum's smog analogy? (1)
Answer: a 2000-pound elephant in the room that no one wants to address.
That's it. See you Tuesday afternoon, 2-5PM.
