Assess the occurrence of discrimination in the United States today. To what degree does discrimination still exist? Which groups are particularly affected and in what concrete ways? How would you suggest that Americans overcome this problem?
What will be an ideal response?
An ideal response will:
1, Discuss to what degree discrimination still exists in society, drawing upon discussions in the text about the struggle for equality for various groups such as the gay and lesbian community.
2, Explain how the groups that seem to be particularly affected are women, who still struggle for employment equality; African Americans, who still struggle for general equality; and gays and lesbians, who still struggle against employment and marriage discrimination.
3, Present suggestions for how Americans might overcome this problem, for example, by diminishing the importance of religion in American political debates with respect to the same-sex marriage issue.
