READING ANALYSIS 11
The Purpose of Response Papers is to expose you to a range of Sociological research topics and to get you to think about how they connect to your own located biography.  These assignments are also meant to encourage you to read the course materials.
Task: You must turn in Response Papers for 4 of the 11 eligible response question assignments (designated by RA1-RA11).  Choose two before the midterm and choose two after the midterm to complete. You may download this template and use the space provided, or if you take out the instructions you need to stay in a 1.5-2 page length. Please SINGLE-SPACE your response. Citations should be included in each summary (at least two) and citations should be used in part II to back up your claims. Please use (Author, page number) after all direct quotations.

Reading Analysis 11: Discuss the ways that environmental issues like pollution, poor air/water quality, natural disasters, deforestation etc. correspond directly to social issues like social class and race? Choose an example of environmental racism discussed in class or the readings this week. Examine the impact of the history of redlining (define/explain and cite) to help explain how we can understand the correlations between race, socioeconomic status, and political power for these communities experiencing environmental racism. Discuss how the idea of meritocracy (define and cite) helps to justify this unequal treatment. Explain how these two things (redlining and meritocracy) have led to these disparities not being considered acts of overt racism/classism (define overt and cite) which could be prosecuted as illegal--- and instead representations of institutional racism (define) that is much harder to prove. Give examples from the readings.
