Application:
Cobb’s article appeared in 2018, two years prior to the unrest, protests, and riots of 2020. Part of the strategies Cobb mentions to mitigate these implicit biases against people of color includes formal training undertaken by Starbucks. Other attempts to draw attention to these implicit biases has occurred in 2020 with multiple scholars and activists encouraging us all to read a variety of texts on the issue and become more informed on these implicit biases and systemic racism. Do you think this is the best approach to fight implicit bias and racism? Develop a curriculum, including at least one book source, that could be used to increase awareness of these issues and perhaps help to solve them. Then write an essay defending your curriculum.
Instruction:
Read the text, then write a five-paragraph argumentative essay. Make sure to use research when making your arguments and counterarguments. Be reminded that this is an argumentative essay, which means that in addition to your arguments, you also need to present the counterarguments. When presenting the counterarguments provide examples of logical fallacies commonly used; explain the type of logical fallacy. Do not forget to add the rebuttal after the counterargument.
You need to type the essay in a word document and follow APA style, remember not to use quotation, instead you can use paraphrasing or summarizing.
