Prompt 1:We’ve discussed and read about several topics that exemplify several historical, societal, and systematic issues, and perhaps even failures, that are constantly recurring although they materialize in different areas and aspects in/of life. Issues such as racism, sexism, misogyny, xenophobia, homophobia, transphobia, masculinity, classism, and reproductive justice are some of the many issues we’ve discussed and read about.As we’ve briefly discussed, the current pandemic is a world crisis that has not only re-shaped nearly every aspect of our lives. As I noted earlier, like most current events that are being reported daily, the emergence of Covid-19 is making us as citizens, as marginalized citizens from displaced communities, and those who are systematically oppressed, confront these same issues again. Issues born from Covid-19 are not new, as we discussed, they’re just re-emerging as something else during a different time.For your Final Exam Prompt #1, choose only one of the essays (links below) to read and respond write an 800 word essay framing the article of your choice: Dylan Scott, “Coronavirus is Exposing All of the Weaknesses in the US Health System”: https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2020/3/16/21173766/coronavirus-covid-19-us-cases-health-care-system (Links to an external site.)
