Questions and Topics We Can Help You To Answer: 

In Unit 6, you learned that laws can have a significant impact on our community and legal system. Laws can be used to impose social change. That change can be for the better, though sometimes it can make things worse. Then in Unit 7, you saw that law can clearly be used for the worst possible motives — laws can sometimes be enacted to impose and even maintain inequality.

For this writing Assignment, you are going to find two specific events from history (U.S. history). The first example should be from distant history, and the second should be from the recent past (say, the last 10 years).

For each event, you need to (1) start with a law that was created to impose inequality. Conduct research to find out what was going on in society at that time, and how the law was created to impose this inequality on the community. Then you will need to (2) explain how events and/or the society changed. Explain how law was used to create social change and rectify the problems created by the initial laws. Finally, you will (3) incorporate into this analysis your assessment of multiculturalism (which we also addressed on our Discussion exercise). Based on your views and understanding of multiculturalism and diversity, how has this factored into the evolutionary process of these two events? Make sure to apply at least four of the seven actions which leads to multiculturalism, as identified in Caleb Rosado’s article 
(http://www.rosado.net/pdf/Def_of_Multiculturalism.pdf).

This project should be at least 4 pages (roughly 1000 words, excluding cover page and references). You will use the chapter reading and at least 1 outside authoritative source (in addition to the Rosado article) to help support your analysis.
