Assignment One: Presentation – Analyzing Dominant-
Minority Relations
For this assignment, you will put together a 8-10 slide
presentation (the cover and reference slides do not
count). Do not submit more than 14 slides of content.
You may use a presentation program of your choice
Your Presentation must do the following:
1) Describe and illustrate a historical example occurring
in the U.S. between colonial times to WWIl that
demonstrates the development of dominant-minority
relations for TWO different disadvantaged groups
(groups may include those based on race, gender,
ethnicity, class, country of origin, religion, or another
status relevant to stratification). You must integrate the
course materials.
2) Analyze ways in which the two disadvantaged
groups you chose to cope with discrimination and
prejudice today. For example, have they created anti-
defamation leagues, lobbied for changes in laws,
created a social movement, or taken other measures
toward non-discrimination and equality? Please be
specific. (You will need to research this information
outside of the course materials; include at least 2 peer-
reviewed journal articles that are five years old or less)
3) Define and analyze two concepts (for example
racism, sexism, stratification, patriarchy, etc.) from our
course materials, explaining how these concepts help
us better understand the two groups you
discussing. You may find our Sociological Theories and
Concepts Toolkit to be helpful (found in
Announcements).
4) Define and analyze two sociological theories (for
example, feminist theory, critical race theory, conflict
theory, symbolic interactionism, functionalist theory,
etc.) from our course materials or outside scholarly
sources, explaining how these theories help us better
understand the two groups you are discussing. You
may find our Sociological Theories and Concepts
Toolkit to be helpful (found in Announcements).

presented should be in your own words/voice. Quotes
