Analysis of Donald Trump’s rhetoric, views and treatment of minority groups, and response to current events, such as what happened in Orlando through the framework of ch. 8

As you do your analysis:
• Whatever samples of Trump’s words or actions you choose have to be properly sourced, whether it is a newspaper or online article, video clip, TV clip or TV news clip
• “My mom/friend told me” or “people say” do NOT count as a source
• Please include the date of the source (I mean the date the article was published, the news were aired, the speech was given)
• You may use whatever writing style you use in your discipline (Chicago, MLA, APA, etc. Please be consistent, though.)
• Don’t take anything out of context. If necessary, give a brief explanation of what was the context of the words or the actions.
• Make sure that any personal opinion that you may give is well informed and justified.

• Introduce Donald Trump briefly
• Introduce ch. 8 briefly (what it talks about, what concepts are presented in it, the goals of the chapter)
• Choose three key concepts from the chapter, define them, and exemplify them using Trump’s word or actions.
• Using either the Stereotype Content Model (PPT 8) or the Intergroup Attribution Section (PPT 16), analyze Trump’s views about minority groups. Give examples.
• Using Schaefer’s four explanations of how prejudice happen, hypothesize on the source(s) of Trump’s views of the minority groups he disparages.
• Look at the four discriminatory practices (PPT 20) and explain what type of discrimination most likely will take place if he takes office and why.
• Make suggestions and recommendations. How can we counteract Trump’s rhetoric? What can one do as an individual? As a community? As a country?
• Other?
