1) On page 104, Allen and Bosta (1981) provide 5 varieties of offenders who attempt to form inappropriate relationships with correctional employees. Which of these, in your opinion, is the worst? Why? 

2) Though we have not yet discussed private prisons, do you hypothesize the problem of sexual misconduct as being worse in state-run facilities or private (owned by private corporations) facilities? Why? Consider what you do know about both. 

3) Consider Table 11.1. What are your thoughts on the interview questions? Are there any you would add, change or remove? Which? 

4) Think outside the box for a moment. Consider the article. How similar are the steps to forming a romantic relationship inside prison as to the steps to form a romantic relationship in “free” society?

The questions below correspond to Chapter seven of Race in America.

Please respond to one of the questions below:

 1.  Desmond and Emirbayer provide a good discussion of how early American educational systems were essentially an indoctrination into “whiteness” and white supremacy. Write a response that discusses one of the examples they provide as evidence of early American education as indoctrination into “whiteness.”

2.  Desmond and Emirbayer also discuss several ways that “whiteness” finds its way into  educational curriculums and onto college campuses. Write a response that discusses one way in which Desmond and Emirbayer explain how “whiteness” informs educational curricula.

3. Desmond and Emirbayer also discuss the reasons behind the education gap among different communities (white/asian and black/latino). They also find that the gap is greater at the collegiate level than high school. Write a response that explains Desmond and Emirbayer’s research into the education gap between these groups. Why such a gap? Why is the gap higher at the college level?

4. Desmond and Emirbayer have several good discussion about “culture” (cultural capital; Social capital; oppositional culture). Write a response that discusses one of these examinations of culture and its influence on educational success or educational resistance.
