3. Assignment: United States-Centric Views Comparison
Resource: Appendix D
Provide a copy of Appendix D to a friend or family member and ask the person to complete the table contained therein. In doing so, your chosen participant considers what he or she thinks are the common United States-centric viewpoints on Muslim and Arab American and Christian American groups. Ask your participant to return their completed appendix at least 1 day befre the assignment is due.
Complete a duplicate copy of Appendix D, following the same directions as your participant.
Write a 350-500 word summary in which you compare and contrast your participant’s answers with your own answers, and address the following questions:
– How are your table answers similar? How are they different?
– Do either tables list descriptors in the Both Groups category? Describe.
– From either or both tables, name on or two descriptors you think represent true facts about each group and one or two descriptors you think are false.
– How do you think an average American’s perceptions of each group are created?
Post your summary along with both completed copies of Appendix D.
