CE #4 (Due Tuesday, October 5, 2010)
What I want you to do is read the following two articles:
(1) http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1315078/Race-maps-America.html
(this isn't REALLY an article as much as it is a series of really interesting demographic maps)
(2) http://pewsocialtrends.org/pubs/700/black-public-opinion
When you are done, do a current event (#4), but compare and contrast the information between the two articles. Also, why did I juxtapose these two? In your analysis, be sure to give you opinion and to also tell me what you found was the most interesting. It is okay in your analysis to relate your own personal experiences and observations.
*This is NOT part of the current event, but I thought you might also find this article about race and intermarriage interesting:
(1) http://pewsocialtrends.org/pubs/755/trends-attitudes-interracial-interethnic-marriage
as well as this one about changing social trends in the U.S.
(2) http://pewsocialtrends.org/pubs/703/population-projections-united-states
