Q Instructions Select one country (other than the US), which is a multi-ethnic society. Summarize and analyze the information you find on the topic of The Current State of Ethnic/Racial Relations in (that Country) and The Historical Basis for The Current State. (The selected country’s geopolitical situation –its international relations, both political and economic—may be relevant. If so, you may discuss this, but it is not necessary to emphasize it.) Make appropriate use of the concepts and theories in the textbook to help clarify the inter-ethnic relations in the country you choose. Published sociological analyses of ethnic/racial relations in your target country, which you find in online libraries, will be particularly useful. News reports, articles in international opinion journals, and websites originating in your target country will also be useful. Prepare a six to eight page (2100 –2800 words) report of your research. .) –This will be a standard library research report. Its primary purposes are for you to systematically learn more about enter-ethnic relations in the country you choose and for you to provide this information to (to teach) your fellow students, as well as to improve your skill in working together with a team. The better papers will apply theoretical concepts from the textbook as a means of understanding those inter-ethnic relations and how they have come about. (This assignment constitutes 30% of your course grade.) . . . Please note that your personal opinions are essentially irrelevant to this report; you will summarize your sources –in your own words—and you may draw conclusions from the group of those summaries.

England has a very diverse culture and a complex economy. England has had a difficult history involving race relations. In 1968 the Race Relations Amendment Act was put in place to develop equality for the different minority groups that suffered various forms of discrimination and prejudices. England is a pretty diverse country, but similar to the United States, Caucasians currently are the majority. According to the 2011 census, Caucasian, primarily British whites, have a population of about 45.1 million people (Office for National Statistics, 2011). London, the capital, is the most diverse area in all of England and also has the highest rate of racist incidents reported by police within Great Britain (Statista Research Department, 2019)
