Module 3 Video 3 Assignment 7

Q You will write 2 paragraphs for 20 pts in response to interesting items from this video. You can write up a paragraph on the second one for 10 Bonus pts. There will be 3 questions in the quiz on the first video, and you can use it in your Moore or final paper. A few thoughts on this assignment in Sp 2021: -I know this is a little soon after our last video. I do this because I want you to have three videos to consider when starting to think about your Michael Moore paper. -I am going to experiment and have a rubric (below) for the first time. -This is one of my favorite race/ethnicity videos because it touches on almost every group in an hour, is kinda local (Cal), and shows how police actions should be seen in historical context. BUT, it is also used in Soc 320, so it is review for a few of you. My apologies. I challenge you to find something new you missed last time.

I enjoyed watching this video primarily because of it being so informative about the riot of L.A that occurred as a result of the Rodney King beating. I can’t say I liked what happened and how many people were affected because of this but this was an event that was the start of a revolution in history. I was surprised to see how the video mentioned that the looting was an indication of the poverty level in LA, since people were stealing pampers, food and milk for their families. This means that a majority of the people who were stealing the essentials for their families were in need of these items, and the police were allowing this to happen also.
