Overview

There are four Reflective Journal activities in the course, in Weeks 1, 3, 6, and 10. In each journal, you will use your writing, critical thinking, self-awareness, and social awareness skills to reflect on your experiences and opinions. As you read the course resources, participate in discussions, and work on your assignments, the journals may reflect shifts in your opinions or your approaches to issues and topics.

Preparation

The Race, Ethnicity, Gender, and Class textbook states, "The contact situation - the conditions under which groups first come together - is the most significant factor in the creation of minority groups" (1). The textbook examines the examples of Native Americans and African slaves coming into contact with European colonists and Mexican people coming into contact with American settlers in the West. Reflect on this concept of contact and how it might apply to modern-day immigration. What challenges do newcomers face that could set the tone of their relationship with the majority population?

Requirements

Write a one-page journal entry (approximately 250 words) in which you:

• Describe some challenges current newcomers to the United States might face.
• Describe how those experiences might affect their long-term attitude toward the majority population or toward other established minorities.
• Write with clarity, following mechanics and formatting requirements.

Your journal submission must follow these formatting requirements:

• Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, your name, your professor's name, the course title, and the date. The cover page is not included in the required assignment length.
• No sources are required for this journal unless you are quoting or paraphrasing from a source. If you do use sources, choose ones that are credible, relevant, and appropriate, and cite your sources correctly. For help with research, writing, and citation, access the library or review library guides.

This course requires the use of Strayer Writing Standards (SWS). The library is your home for SWS assistance, including citations and formatting. Please refer to the Library site for all support. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
