How should an individual, a group, or society as a whole respond to specific instances of discrimination or institutional bias?
Argument essay (1,000 words): Use three of the assigned sources in an essay that considers responses to discrimination, both personal and political. Again, the prompt is general to allow you to explore the issue in a way that is intellectually and emotionally resonant for you as a writer. Remember to define your terms and to provide context.
Use four of the assigned sources — those assigned for essay 1 and the following:
