Racial Diversity on Television - Part 2

Last time we discussed the recent Saturday Night Live controversy about the lack of black women in the cast.  Our work today will continue that conversation by bringing other voices into the mix.

You will research an article about issues of race, diversity, and television.  Once you find it, you will read it, and then write a blog post including these elements:

  • An analysis of the person's argument in terms of ethos, logos, and pathos.  What claims are they making?  How are they presenting their argument?
  • Your response.  Do you agree or disagree with this person's claims?  Do you react differently to various parts of their argument?  Why?
We'll take about 30 minutes for this.  When you are done we will turn to a discussion once again to share these new perspectives and our evolving thoughts.
