Extra Credits and Extra Credit 3: Race and Diversity

The Diversity is , obviously, the first episode of the series I've been choosing from. The reason I put it last is because  I felt we would need a review by the time we got this far.

Watch the following videos and address the following in a well thought out blog post in paragraphs--not just 1,2,3 answers.  Yes it is extra credit, no you don't have to do it, but I can tell you now--I don't do EC often during a school year. You may need to spot and go a lot with this video to be able to digest it."



("Race in Games")
  1. What is true diversity and is it needed in an art form (games, movies, literature )? 
  2. How does the author interject their feelings about racial issues into the text?
  3. What are some of the racial issues faced by your characters? How does your character react to them?
  4. Are the issues faced by your characters exclusive to your character's race? How so?
  5. If your character is a part of the dominate racial culture, how do the racial issues of other characters affect this character?
  6. What are some conscious and subconscious racial issues that your characters deal with? How do their actions define them as a character? 
  7. What emotions do other characters that look on at a moment of racial discrimination show? 
  8. At what point does your character stand up and take action against peers in a social scenario about racial inequality? Or do they not? What is the catalyst for this change or reason for this stagnation?
  9. How do the racial issues in your text provide a context for interpreting your text? 
  10. How do the issues of race, gender, and sexuality impact a work of literature? 

Hey here's a  time waster to provide insight into yourself and others!
