My English Class

If I were designing this English course I would keep the theme of Race and Justice. They are two very controversial topics that go well together. Race and Justice have been intertwined for all of history. What makes this theme so interesting is the fact that there are so many perceptions of justice. The lack of one universal definition of justice is what makes this the controversial topic that it is today. In designing this course I would keep most of the readings we have read already. Prison Writings, In defense of Injustice, Ward Churchill’s articles, and A Hip Hop Theory of Justice are all interesting readings. The fact that they all take place in different parts of history is very crucial. I believe that it is important to not only discuss race and justice in present times but also in the past. With those readings we see how race and justice evolved throughout times. In addition to those readings, I would also add some readings on how race and justice have affected sports.  When watching professional sports nowadays it is such a diverse field than it was half a century ago. I would also add video clips that can relate. There has also been a lot of controversy over different races getting accepted into colleges with questionable grades. These are some things I would add if this were my English course.
