We are discussing the issues of justice, discrimination, civil rights, feminism, etc. I want you to interview 3 people, preferably of various ages and ethnic groups. Pose the same 5 questions to them regarding the pre-mentioned topics. Some possible questions may be: Do you believe racial equality exists in our country? Have you recently been discriminated against? How would you feel about your son/daughter dating our marrying someone from another racial group? Do you think that the election of Barack Obama helped racial relations? Do you think that affirmative action is racial discrimination? Do you believe that women are treated equal to men in our society? Do you think that gay men or women should be allowed to marry and be given full civil rights under the marriage law ? These are some possible questions; I'd like you to include others that you pose. Write a paper (4-5 pages, double-spaced) summarizing the answers. Give details about the people interviewed, i.e., single, white male, 24 years old; married, black female, 40 years old, etc. Do not use their real first names. After you've summarized the responses give your own comments and observations. Did you think any of the comments could be perceived as judgmental, prejudice or racist, why? Were the people reluctant to answer the question? etc. Okay? People may be reluctant to give specific answers to your questions. Try to persuade them to give answers beyond a "Yes" or "No." Tell them that their real names will not be used. They could be assured of that. I hope that you will have an interesting and fun time with this assignment. As an aside, a few years ago, when I gave this assignment, one of the questions that I posed was, "How would you feel about a female or an African-American president? My, my, how times have changed.

Introduction
Interviewing people can be quite stressful and tedious. This would be in deciding the best
approaches and the appropriate questions to ask the informants so as not to injure their
sensibilities especially for sensitive subjects like in this exercise. There are also issues on the
choice of the informants where there are several constraints in the choice of picking the right
person. Issues to do with justice, racial or ethnic discrimination, civil rights and feminism, for
example, can be manifested in different forms, with some being covert or overt. Others can also
be subtle and also more difficult to notice like an employer failing to recruit or promote a person
due to such factors. Whichever such forms of discrimination or bias takes in society, however,
federal and state laws are very strict on them.
