CNX 195 - Unequal America
Description
Since the Declaration of Independence, the United States has celebrated ‘equality’ as a founding national principle. This is illustrated by the celebrated ideal of “the American Dream.” But there are striking inconsistencies between the value of equality and the actual conditions of social, economic, and civic life across various groups in America, including race, class, and gender (among many others). The central question posed by this course is: What are the implications of inequality for American democracy today? As we examine the nation’s uneven landscape of civic status and opportunity, students will develop and sharpen academic skills of engaged reading, critical analysis, active discussion, and effective writing.
