Focus on immigration processes and/or immigrant experiences but don’t hesitate to discuss these issues in the broader context of social movements.

For this debate: do keep it real (share your experience and/or opinions) but don’t be inappropriate (conduct yourself as a college student!) do use the prompts and don’t forget the debate skills that you’ve built this semester! do practice building your sociological perspective (focus on groups and society as a whole rather than individuals) but don’t limit yourself to course materials (especially if you felt there was an important topic that was not covered this semester!) do focus on immigration processes and/or immigrant experiences but don’t hesitate to discuss these issues in the broader context of social movements Notes about what the debate is: “OK so this is gonna be our last discussion and debate of the semester and it’ll work a little bit differently.

We are going to be thinking in unit six about social change and how to how to have the kind of policies that you are viewed for in the last unit so for this debate, you’ll be thinking about whether top down influence or grassroots movements are going to likely be more effective in creating the kinds of social change that we would like to see for.

For the benefit of the nation as far as immigration and the lives of immigrants in the country is concerned, so you get to decide what kind of social change you are thinking about, and then argue whether tapped out influence from our leaders on down to the people is going to be most effective, or most likely or whether you think grass up grassroots movements from the bottom up are going to be the most effective, or most likely ways to create the kinds of social change that will produce the policies that we find to be important number for this debate as I said, it’ll be a little different.

You do have a couple of readings in this unit that you can absolutely draw from, including all of the assigned readings for the semester as well, but you don’t have to so you can build in your opinion here Because ultimately we are the ones who should you know understand the issues surrounding immigrant flows and immigrant experiences from a number of different perspectives, over the course of the semester that we read and been exposed to him, and we are the ones who may elect our leaders, or become leaders or those kinds of movements, so it can be all opinion, some balance of opinion that’s generally good if you can back your opinion up with some kind of theory or evidence, so anything you find useful through the semester but have fun with this one”
