1. Think about a social issue that is impacted by linguistic inequality, and find evidence for it in the form of a news article or academic paper. (A news article is an article from a media source like a newspaper or magazine such as the New York Times, FOX, The Washington Post, VICE, National Geographic, etc. that addresses a current event. It does not include general information websites and sources like Wikipedia, eHow, dictionaries, academic journals, online encyclopedias, etc.)
2. Write a 300-word essay that answers the following questions, referring to the article and course materials, NOT random sources:
-What is human language? From an anthropological perspective, are some languages or dialects better than others?
-What are language ideologies and where do they come from? See Chapter 9.
-What is the example of language inequality or language ideologies in your article and how does it impact the groups mentioned there?
3. Discuss with details and tie the findings in the article to what you learned in the module.
