more recently.

3-Discuss why there is a positive correlation between ethnic and racial diversity in an
organization and African American employee trust in that organization.

4-Rates of psychopathology are approximately the same across ethnic groups so this cannot

communities. Discuss some factors that may account for this higher than average rate.

5-What are the negative consequences of stereotypes of Asian Americans as academic

achievers?

6-Traditional American Indian values are at odds with many of those of the mainstream U.S.

7-Discuss the “one-drop rule” (hypodescent) and how it might impact cultural identity and
prejudice.

8-The U.S. government took American Indian children from their families to live in, and be
educated at, boarding schools. Discuss the pros and cons, if any, of this practice.
