Answer the following questions in a 3-4 page typed, double-spaced paper using 12 point Times New Roman font (you will be able to upload your paper to submit). Please make sure to read all of the instructions.

1) Based on your reading of Chapter 3, what role does power play in the “text” we call “history”?

2) Based on your reading of Chapter 3 and Grinde, how does this “history” influence intercultural interactions?

3) Based on your reading of McIntosh’s article, define white privilege.

4) Based on your reading of Martin’s article, discuss what constitutes white identity.

5) How does the socially constructed category of “race” impact your everyday life?

6) Discuss your relationship to white privilege. How have you experienced it, either as an advantage/benefit and/or as a lack of advantage?

Papers will be evaluated on: 1.) demonstration that reading has been completed, 2.) application of concepts and ideas, 3.) clarity of writing. Must include Introduction paragraph, Body paragraphs, and Conclusion paragraph. Try your best to smoothly connect your ideas and thoughts into a cohesive paper (not just answers to the questions). Paper must use and cite concepts, theories, terms from the textbook and course reader, which requires you to include in-text citations and a Reference Page/Works Cited page at end of paper. (You can cite using either APA or MLA; please note reference information for all reading packet materials included at the beginning of the reader). Please also include your personal examples, experiences and opinions (feel free to use the word “I”), especially in response to questions 5 and 6.
