Below are the ten essay/long response questions that will be on your final. I am not really looking for formal essays but more long, thoughtful responses of 2 paragraphs. Beside each question is the chapter where that topic is discussed. Prepare for your final by going over the material that applies to each question. Each question is worth 10 points. Grades will be based on the quality of the content and depth of thought in your response. Back up your answers with evidence not opinion!
1) Why can race be viewed as both a myth AND reality? (chapter 11)
2) How effective has the women’s movement been from the 1800s to the present? Give facts not opinions. (chapter 12)
3) How has the aging population affected American society? (chapter 13)
4) What is wrong with the US prison system? (chapter 7)
