For our group project, I feel we had a difficult time just settling on a topic. There were so many different things that we wanted to focus on, however, we managed to find a commonality in all the subjects. When we first started to construct our NYT page, I named it Race Relations, because that’s exactly what out main focus on. It was on the actions and reactions of people of different race. Our topic did not necessarily have to do with discrimination, but how diversity of race has effected our city, our country, and our world. I felt that it was difficult to narrow down a topic that we could use, but by settling for the topic we have, i felt that it was broad enough and narrow enough for all my group members to have different kinds of articles that served the same purpose.
The articles that i chose had to do with the increase in minority unionized workers and racial discrimination in a sorority. I chose the article with the minority unionized workers because I felt that it showed how the diversity of race in our city is changing the functions of everyday life. We as a city are continuously diversifying every force there is whether it be the work force or the political arena. However, there are the downfalls of this diversity, which is why i thought the racial discrimination article was very appropriate. It showed that, yes, our population is diversifying, however the cost of that would be that the disapproval for this blend. People who are not accepting of diversifying in regards to race will sometimes show that disapproval. That is just something that people will have to deal with because there will always be a person who has their prejudices.
