Course Project: Part 3 – Group Influences

Assignment Overview

Earlier in this course, we learned about groups. You discovered how groups could influence the behavior of individual or even other groups. As an example, consider how union and non-union members interact with each other during a labor dispute or a strike.

This week, we will consider stratification systems – specifically, gender, race, and ethnic groups. For this part of your project, you will write about the influence of groups. Please be sure to follow the guidelines for written assignments.
