  1. Is the American Dream Dying?https://mediaplayer.pearsoncmg.com/assets/_video.true/sociology-2017-blue_chalk_videos-american_dream_dying Remember examples provided in the video as you respond to the questions.
    1. Take some time to define the “American Dream” as it existed for previous generations.
    2. What are the greatest barriers to the American Dream (as defined in question 1) for young people today? Think about the statistics presented in the video.
    3. While the younger generations of Americans are not living the American Dream of their parents or grandparents, what are they doing well? For every generation, is the American Dream accessible to everyone? Discuss who the American Dream actually applies to.
    4. Is the American Dream dead or is it changing? What do the changes mean for society? 2. What Causes Poverty and Can It Be Fixed?https://mediaplayer.pearsoncmg.com/assets/_video.true/sociology_2017_blue_chalk_videos-dual_perspectives Remember examples provided in the video as you respond to the questions.
      1. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., spoke of two Americas in a speech at Stanford University in the 1960s. Describe the two Americas as they exist today.
      2. Poverty is rooted in the social structure. How does the social structure in United States perpetuate poverty? Explain how race, class, gender, access, and other characteristics might combine to perpetuate poverty? How can we solve poverty rooted in the social structure?
      3. Being in poverty is really a combination of individual and structural reasons. Compare the structural theory of poverty to individual explanations or personal responsibility.
      4. When thinking about solving poverty, we need to “think big and act small.” Government interventions can only go so far. What are micro-interventions, and how can they help fight against poverty? 3. is Marriage…Over?https://mediaplayer.pearsoncmg.com/assets/_video.true/sociology-2017-blue_chalk_videos-who_gets_married Tell students to remember examples provided to use during the class discussion.
        1. Marriage is not a new concept, but the reasons for marriage may have changed. Why did people marry 40 or 50 years ago?
        2. Today, why do people marry? Even if the reasons are the same, what has changed in society that can affect marriage rates or age at first marriage?
        3. The video stated that marriage was once a necessity and now it is a desire. Compare and contrast these differences. How accurate is this view on marriage?
        4. Define the “marriage gap.” How can marriage add to the inequality gap we see in our society?
