Read/review the following resources for this activity:
Textbook: Chapter 7, 8
Lesson
Minimum of 1 outside scholarly source (in addition to the textbook/lesson)
Initial Post Instructions
Think of a person you know (either yourself, someone you know, or even a famous
person with, perhaps a "rags to riches" story) who has experienced significant upward
or downward mobility over the past three or four generations.
For the initial post, respond to one of the following options, and label the beginning of
your post indicating either Option 1 or Option 2:
Option 1: Briefly describe the person (and be sure to respect confidentiality of
others and, as always, remember to be respectful of potentially sensitive
information, and remember there is no guarantee of privacy). Describe the
person's significant upward or downward mobility over the past three or four
generations. How do you think the person's values and behavior might differ
had the person experienced the opposite pattern of mobility?
Option 2: Briefly describe the person (and be sure to respect confidentiality of
others and, as always, remember to be respectful of potentially sensitive
information, and remember there is no guarantee of privacy). Describe the
person's significant upward or downward mobility over the past three or four
generations. How might experiences have been different had the person's
family been of a different ethnic or racial origin?
