Overview
This semester, I will evaluate the effects of race and the welfare state from a global perspective. Specifically, I will use my blog as an avenue to compare and contrast the ethnocentric and political ramifications of the welfare state in the United States and abroad.
How does my topic connect to the themes of CES 301?
Yes. The correlary of race and socioeconomic status is evident in every society throughtout the world. Therefore, examining the effect of race as it pertains to the global welfare state fits the learning objectives for this course. Social inequality and race go hand-in-hand, and are often the target of stereotypes in society. Thus, examining the specific effects of race on the welfare state may help clarify these relationships from a global perspective.
What do I want to get out of this discussion?
I want to facilitate a better understanding of race, poverty and the welfare state for myself, and hopefully, as a result of using cyberspace, generate healthy discussions with other CES 301 students through the use of my blog.
