Part I:
Question 10a- 10e

·         At this website, (http://projects.newyorker.com/story/subway/) you will find an interactive graph concerning New York City’s geography and income.

·         Read the introduction and click on different “subway lines” to see how the interactive graph works.

·         Note that the abbreviations stand for the four different boroughs:

§  MAN = Manhattan

§  BRX = Bronx

§  BRK = Brooklyn

§  QNS = Queens

·         Also note that hovering your mouse over the dots on the graph displays the subway stop and the median income of households in that area.

 
  10-a)     In which of the four boroughs is the median household income highest? (This is made evident as you click on the different lines.)
  Answer
  10-b)     Click on the “A” line. Does the line graph for Manhattan show high or low variability? What does this mean in terms of household income in this area of Manhattan?
  Answer
  Answer
  10-c)     Click on line 2. Which borough (not a street) shows the least variability in median household income?
  Answer
  10-d)     On line 2, find the following two subway stops: Park Place (the first of the highest Manhattan stops) and E 180 St. (one of the lowest Bronx stops, located about halfway across the BRX section). What is the difference (calculate) between the median household incomes of the two areas?
  Answer
  10-e)      Click on the “D” line. Which subway stop in Brooklyn seems to be an outlier

She codes the responses into 10 categories: drama, mysteries, romance, historical nonfiction, travel books, children’s books, poetry, autobiographies, political science, and local interest books.

 

·         She also asks the participants how many books they read in a month. She categorizes their responses into four categories: nonreaders (no books a month), light readers (1—2 books a month), moderate readers (3—5 books a month), and heavy readers (more than 5 books a month).

 

·         Julie’s SPSS data file contains two variables: book (a 10-category variable for the type of books read) and reader (a 4-category variable indicating the number of books read per month).

Discuss how the program would be implemented. Be specific in who would be targeted, where this program would take place, and how you see the program being executed.

/in /by

In this Chapter, you read about four criteria that need to be met in order for contact between hostile groups to decrease prejudices. In this assignment, you will reflect on these criteria and develop a program to reduce prejudice.

Compose an essay that includes the following components:

§ an explanation of how one’s tendency to perceive others using either the halo effect or the fundamental attribution error could contribute to developing prejudices,

§ a description of the four criteria used to reduce prejudice, and

§ a discussion of the two criteria that you think are most important and why.

You must also access the Online Library to find a peer-reviewed empirical article that provides supporting evidence for at least one of the two criteria you selected as most important above. Your search criteria is limited to the Research Methodology of Empirical Study. These specific kinds of studies are also located in peer-reviewed scholarly journals.

After providing a brief overview of the article’s main findings, address the following points.

§ Describe a prejudice reduction program you could implement based on the two criteria that you previously selected as most important.

§ Explain why you believe this program will be effective by drawing on research concerning prejudice and discrimination.

§ Discuss how the program would be implemented. Be specific in who would be targeted, where this program would take place, and how you see the program being executed.

§

Your response should be at least two pages in length. You must use at least two sources as references for your paper, and at least one source must come from the Online Library. All sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced, and paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations. Please format your paper and all citations in accordance with APA guidelines.
