4. Assignment #4 - In-class Prussian Blue Reflection (Assessment)

Answer each question in several complete sentences:
  • 1. How did your understanding of Prussian blue evolve (change) from the beginning to the end of this unit? Why has this evolution occurred? Be sure to use the "sociological imagination" in your response.
  • 2. Identify and explain at least three societal factors that have influenced the beliefs of Lamb and Lynx Gaede.
  • 3. As a society, is it more important that we support the freedom of parents to raise their kids however they see fit, or that we ensure kids are raised with morals and beliefs that society approves of?
  • 4. Think about your own life. Identify a person, or group of people, that you may have unfairly judged. Where did your assumptions/beliefs come from: parents, school, friends, the media, co-workers...? What is something you could do to start seeing this person (or group) differently?
