Asked by lakesha

You are asked to come up with a plan to improve racial and ethnic relations in your community. What would your plan include? How would you address both individual and institutional discrimination in your plan? Explain.

How would you like us to help you with this assignment?

Answered by bobpursley
Would it make sense to identify first the problem areas, then to classify those which can be improved, and those which cannot? And finally, some plan to work on those (including resources, costs, timelines) which can be improved?

Or you could do it like the Federal government, just spend money.

i need to know what will the plan include
Answered by Ms. Sue
Bobpursley gave you some ideas. You first need to identify the problems in your community. Then suggest ways to solve some of these problems. Often churches get together to help solve some problems. If police seem to be biased occasionally, this can be addressed by the city council or equivalent body.

Lakesha, there is a time in college work in which you have to do your own thinking. Start now, it makes classes much easier. We will be happy to critique your thinking or work.
Answered by Ms. Sue
First, please post the racial and ethnic problems in your community.

We can help you with the next step.

Answered by Ms. Sue
OK. That's a start.

What can the community do to solve these problems?

Answered by Ms. Sue
The first thing I'd do is set up magnet schools with each emphasizing an educational specialty. Parents can choose any elementary school in the district for their child to attend.

In my city, we have an elementary school that teaches some classes in both Spanish and English. Another school emphasizes the arts. Wake County Schools (Raleigh, N.C.) has a wide variety of magnet schools.

Racial remarks would be harder to address. However, programs such as the magnet schools will eventually help. TV ads could also promote racial and ethnic unity.
