Prejudice, Discrimination, Power, and Privilege

A successful final submission of any paper should be the product of brainstorming, outlining, and writing multiple drafts. Ashford University Writing Center (Links to an external site.) is a great resource for all students, offering 24/7 live chat support and a 24 hour feedback turnaround for papers and discussion posts.

Note: you are required to submit a draft of this assignment to the Writing Center Paper Review (Links to an external site.) and continue to leverage Grammarly and TurnItIn. You should submit your work to the Writing Center for review by Week 4, Day 3. A 24-hour turnaround is required, so be sure to allow enough time to receive the feedback and make changes before submitting it to Waypoint on Day 7. 

Instructions:

This week you will continue to work on the topic of choice to progress toward your Cultural Perspectives final paper. Select ONE of the diversity-related topics researched for your Week 3 written assignment, or select a new topic. 

Then, using the APA formatted template, write a 660-1320 word paper (not including title page) that addresses the following:

• Describe the diversity situation or cultural dilemma and the cultural groups impacted by this topic.
• Explain the types of power or privilege each group possesses. In what ways are members of each group aware (or not aware) of their power or privilege?
• Discuss the types of prejudice or discrimination applied to each group. Is the discrimination or prejudice overt or covert?
• How do these (prejudice, discrimination, power or privilege) impact each group’s access to goods, services, positions of power, education, or other societal structures?

Support your claims with documentation from historical perspectives, recent news activities, scholarly articles, or course resources. 

Submit a draft of your paper to the Writing Center for Paper Review (Links to an external site.) by Week 4, Day 3. Once you have received the feedback from the tutor, revise your writing based on the feedback you received and submit your final copy to Waypoint using the link below.
