RACE, ETHNICITY and poverty

  1. Watch a presidential debate (the first debate can be found at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?
    v=w3KxBME7DpM) and/ or explore the campaign web pages for Trump (https://www.donaldjtrump.com/) and
    Biden (https://joebiden.com/).
  2. List 5 bullet points for ways that EACH candidate plans to address poverty (10 TOTAL). These can be
    policies or programs that directly target poverty. Bullet points can also include things that indirectly impact
    poverty AS LONG AS YOU EXPLAIN THE LINK BETWEEN THE TWO (example: student loan debt policy as a
    bullet point- then include how student loan debt impacts poverty for a college graduate).
  3. Be sure to include the source where the information came from for each bullet. This is not a research paper,
    so you do not have to use APA. A web link in parentheses at the end of each bullet is sufficient.)
  4. Then write 1 paragraph (approx. 5 sentences), answering the following question: based on what you have
    learned in this course and your bullet points, which candidate do you think has a better plan to address poverty
    in the US? Be sure to explain why you chose that candidate.
    Grading will be based on if you followed directions and made a compelling argument in the last paragraph.
