  1. Complete the assigned readings from Practical Skeptic – Core Concepts, and view the multimedia in Module 6 Preparation.
  2. Then answer the questions associated with each of the assigned readings below. 
    • Reading 27 – Coached for the Classroom: Parents’ Cultural Transmission and Children’s Reproduction of Educational Inequalities
      Provide specific details of the ethnographic method used in this study. Do you feel this was an effective research method? Why or why not? What do you think are the implications of the findings for understanding the impact of social class in the educational setting?
    • Reading 28 – What Happened to Working Class New York?
      What are the author’s conclusions about which factors have contributed to the shrinking of union power in New York and the financial challenges faced by middle and lower-income New Yorkers today?
    • Reading 29 – The Central Frames of Color Blind Racism
      Bonilla-Silva identifies four frames of color blind racism; briefly explain these four frames. What is your opinion on the usefulness of these four frames to understand issues of racism that persist today?
    • Reading 30 – The Marginalized “Model” Minority: An Empirical Examination of the Racial Triangulation of Asian Americans
      Xu and Lee argue that with demographic changes in Asian and Hispanic populations in the US, a multidimensional racial triangulation theory is a more useful analysis of Asians in the US than the more traditional black–white binary model. Do you agree that a multidimensional study of race relations is more effective to understand the demographic makeup of the US currently and in the future? Support your answer with specific details from the article.
