Week 2 Assignment Teacher Instructions

Hello Class,

It has been my experience in previous classes that this particular assignment can be confusing to some students.  There are two (2) aspects of this weeks assignment, both of which you are required to submit in order to receive full credit for the assignment.

 

As stated in the syllabus:

Select and research six ethnic groups from Part III (Ch. 6–14) of Racial and Ethnic Groups and in Culturegrams. Use the following instructions to access Culturegrams:

 

·         From the University Library, click the Library Resources link.

·         Click Country Profiles and Economic Data.

·         Click Culturegrams.

·         Navigate Culturegrams using the map or use the search option for specific terms.

 

Complete the University of Phoenix Material: Multicultural Matrix and Analysis Worksheet located on the student website.

 Write a 350- to 700- word analysis in APA format of the advantages of a multicultural society and labor force. Make sure that you include a conclusion to your findings.

 Format references consistent with APA guidelines.

When selecting the six ethnic groups to complete the Multicultural Matrix, I expect you to put forth some effort.  Do not submit the matrix with one line in the box, please take the time to give me examples of the groups practices might be and give me an example or two of what it is that you admire about the group.  Do not give me one or two words and think that fulfills the requirement of the assignment.  The expectation is for you to do some critical thinking and analysis of the different cultures.

•             What message does the media piece attempt to portray? Was the media coverage biased or unbiased? Was the issue sensationalized or portrayed objectively?
